Guiding Futures Together
Helping parents and their children
achieve the dream of attending college.
Debbie Goldstein College Consulting Services
To provide guidance, assistance, and resources to families and students for college admission and financial aid.
Our philosophy is founded on the principle that there is a ‘right college’ for your student. The basis for selecting that college should not rely solely on college rankings, ‘hotlists,’ and popularity. Our approach involves researching your student’s interests, strengths, unique attributes, and talents and matching them to the right college.
Rather than merely focusing on only the top 50 highly competitive, heavily marketed universities and colleges, we use a holistic approach to expand our student’s options and provide them with additional choices. Our tools and services allow students and parents to examine what they genuinely look for in the college experience. We help get you and your student organized and ready with a complete strategy for the college application process.
