College Planning Built for Success
Strategic Planning
Students in the United States spend an average of 26,000 hours between Kindergarten and 12th grade on classwork, homework, and extracurricular activities and 29 hours creating college applications and essays.
Meanwhile, admissions officers spend just 11 minutes reviewing each student’s application.
College Assurity helps students make a lasting impression when it matters most. Our approach to the college planning process includes three crucial steps that set students up for success:
- Assessments
- Time Management
- Exploration
These subjects are accomplished one by one with one of our counselors, starting with assessments.
Assessments help students understand their strengths, skills, and interests as they become young adults. We begin the assessment process by exploring very broad concepts, eventually working towards more specific areas in order to guide students towards a viable career path.
This method and structure helps both the counselor and student discover which choices make the most sense and ensure success in their education.
Our college counselors work with students to help them determine their short- and long-term goals, while teaching them how to set SMART goals. We walk students through the process of developing an effective schedule, and help them visualize time well spent versus time wasted.
College Assurity counselors also oversee students as they execute their goal plan, offering advice, assistance, and accountability every step of the way.
The prospect of choosing one major and career path can feel overwhelming for many students. Our approach helps college hopefuls identify their true interests, allowing them to focus their time and energy into mastering one area of interest while eliminating additional stressors that don’t fit into their long-term goals.
Exploration often results in students finding more joy — and success — in college preparation because they can focus on their true interests, rather than cramming unnecessary activities to boost their application.

How Does College Assurity Track Student Progress?
Keeping track of deadlines, application requirements, and admissions decisions can be one of the most challenging parts of college planning. When you work with College Assurity, you’ll have access to our Student Enrollment Management (SEM) software that helps parents and students stay on top of their college applications.
SEM software stores information about each school’s demographics, acceptance rates, and costs to make side-by-side comparisons simpler than ever before. It also ranks the student’s GPA and standardized testing scores against others who were previously admitted to their schools of choice.
