Not every family needs or wants comprehensive consulting services—but every family benefits from structure, clarity, and expert-designed resources. The Student Advantage Toolkit provides organized, proactive families with the tools they need to navigate the admissions process independently while still benefiting from College Excellence expertise. This comprehensive resource collection includes planning worksheets, tracking spreadsheets, brainstorming guides, and checklists developed from years of experience guiding students to success. Each resource is designed to be immediately useful, clearly explained, and adaptable to your specific situation. The Toolkit is ideal for families who are confident in their ability to execute a plan but want professional-quality tools to ensure nothing falls through the cracks. It’s also an excellent supplement for families using other consulting services who want additional organizational structure.
