What it is
The full counselor relationship, not a chatbot and not a checklist.
ForecastEd's software tells you your real chances. Premium Consulting adds the person: an admissions counselor who meets with you, builds a plan around your student, and does the work that only a human can do, from choosing which recommendation to ask for to deciding between two offers in April.
It includes everything in the Applicant plan, so the counselor sees the same profile, matches, and essays you do, and there is nothing to re-explain.
How an engagement starts
- 1
Send an inquiry or book a time
Tell us where the student is and what you want. Either route reaches the same counselor.
- 2
Intro conversation
A short call to understand goals, timeline, and fit. No pitch; if a lighter plan serves you better, we will say so.
- 3
A written proposal
Scope, schedule, and a custom price for exactly what your family needs. Nothing starts until you approve it.
Custom pricing based on scope. An additional $75 applies for international students because of application complexity.
Who it is for
Four kinds of families call us.
Juniors building a list
You have grades, maybe a test score, and no idea where you actually stand. We turn that into a realistic list you can be excited about.
Seniors in application season
Deadlines, supplements, recommendations, interviews. A counselor keeps all of it on one plan and reads every application before it goes out.
Families new to the US process
First in the family to apply, or moving from another system. We explain what matters, what doesn't, and what a fair offer looks like.
Students aiming high
Selective schools, honors programs, arts or athletic recruitment. The margin is small, and the details are where it is won.

From students and families
ForecastEd told me I had a 9% chance at UCLA. I followed every piece of advice — rewrote my essays, changed my activity descriptions, and applied early. I got in with a merit scholarship.
My mom was driving me crazy worrying about everything. Once we saw my actual chances, we could have real conversations about my college list. It gave our whole family peace of mind.
I was so stressed about my Common App essay. The Advisor helped me brainstorm 10 different angles and then helped me refine my favorite one. My counselor said it was the best essay she'd ever read from a student.
