Students walking across a brick-paved college campus on a sunny afternoon

Premium Consulting

One‑on‑one college admissions consulting, from first list to final decision.

A dedicated admissions counselor who knows your student, builds the plan, reads every essay and application, and stays with your family until the deposit is paid.

What it is

The full counselor relationship, not a chatbot and not a checklist.

ForecastEd's software labels every college a Reach, Target, or Safety and lays out all the steps for you to build a compelling application. Premium Consulting adds the person: an admissions counselor who meets with you, builds a plan for you, and guides you through the entire process, from advising you on where to consider to deciding between your offers and everything in between.

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.

Premium Consulting is provided by HunnewellEd.

How an engagement starts

  1. 1

    Send an inquiry or book a time

    Tell us who you are and what you are looking for. Either route reaches the same counselor.

  2. 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. 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

Families who 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, personal statement, supplements, recommendations, interviews. A counselor keeps all of it on one plan and reads every application before it goes out.

Students aiming high

You plan on applying to selective colleges, honors programs, arts or athletic recruitment. The margin is small, and the details are where it is won.

Students with special needs

You may have a unique story, special circumstances, or are looking for a certain type of college.

Students needing the personal attention they lack

Your school has a high student-to-counselor ratio. We fill the gap and give students the attention they need and deserve.

Homeschool students

You may not have access to all the resources provided by your local high school, including college counseling.

Families new to the US process

You are the 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.

From students and families

ForecastEd told me I had a 9% chance at UCLA. I followed every piece of advice — revised my essays, added activities I had not thought about to my profile, and applied well before the deadline. I got in with a merit scholarship.
Maya K. · UCLA
I was so stressed about my Common App personal statement. The Advisor helped me brainstorm 10 different angles and then helped me refine my favorite one. My counselor said it was the best essay he'd ever read from a student.
Jayden T. · Cornell
The timeline feature and application tracker saved me. I was juggling 12 applications and would have definitely missed deadlines without it. Every morning I knew exactly what I needed to work on.
