What We Do

The College admission process has become increasingly competitive. A recent article in U.S. News and World Report mentions a consultant in New York who charges almost $30,000 per student to consult on the application process.

While applications are increasing in record numbers, the number of available spaces on college campuses is remaining the same.

At College Bound Students we assist students in putting together comprehensive, interactive, academic resumes, which chronicle their high school career and accomplishments. These include biographical profiles, writing samples, newspaper articles and video clips of the student performing, television news pieces, awards, and any other items the student might wish to include.

The presentations are designed and posted to the student's personal web site that is hosted by College Bound Students. Additionaly we offer an interactive CD-Rom of the entire web site. Both the CD-Rom and the web address, can be included in all college applications, scholarship aid applications, or utilized in any other area, such as job applications, that the student sees fit.

The information can be changed or modified as often as desired and can be used year after year, should the need or desire exist.

Students and their parents fill out basic information forms and provide additional materials, such as video tapes of the student's participation in high school programs, such as theater arts, debate and musical performances.

We make arrangements to have Federal Express pick up all materials and ship them to us.

The web sites are created with input from the student, the student's parents and our staff.

Once the web site is complete, it is given it's own Internet web address, as well as its own interactive CD-Rom. The label on the CD-Rom includes relevant information pertaining to the student.

Both the student's web site address and CD-Rom can be included with every application that is sent out.

Admissions officers and scholarship aid officers have the choice of either playing the interactive CD-Rom or accessing the students web site on the Internet.

Most colleges have state-of-the-art Internet access, which enables them to access all components of the web site; however, for those that do not happen to have adequate Internet access, all information is accessible in the exact same format on the CD-Rom.
