CBA College List Builder Guides You to Start the College Process
Confused about how to get started researching colleges?
Let us help you build a customized list that’s suited to your child’s needs and goals. A dedicated advisor works individually with students to fully understand your child and your family. We then give you the tools you need to further vet and visit colleges on the list we curate together.
- If you ask your child where they want to start looking at colleges and they respond, I don’t know…
- If you are Googling colleges and using online search tools that leave you with choices that don’t feel useful or appropriate for your child…
- If you are simply confused about the best approach…
CBA College List Builder is for you! This service is provided remotely over Zoom so it’s easy for families even outside of our local area in Newton, Massachusetts.
How it Works
To develop a carefully curated list of colleges for your child to explore, we review a variety of information you provide, from our questionnaire, your school “brag sheet” form, and our initial consultation meeting.
- Students complete our signature U-Profile questionnaire
- Students meet for 30 minutes over Zoom with a personal advisor
- Your advisor creates a list of up to ten schools (and reasons why those were chosen)
- Students and advisors meet for a 45 minute Zoom call to discuss the proposed list
- Your advisor will revise the list if needed
- Your advisor will send a final list of suggested schools to your student
- Students and advisors meet one final time to review the list and discuss next steps.
Every student’s curated list of colleges includes individualized notes explaining why particular schools are a good fit for them. We also provide worksheets to help you visit and vet the schools we recommend.
