About My College Counselor

My College Counselor was formed to help students, from freshman to senior year, get all of the information they need to make an informed decision about their college choice. 

As counselors with over a decade of experience working with students across the country, we understand the stress that comes with selecting majors, writing essays, and completing lengthy applications.

College isn’t just 4 years after senior year. It’s a wonderful experience that shapes you and gives you invaluable skills to start your career after graduation.

Background

Our Director of College Counseling, Mike Ford, has worked in/around higher education since 2011.

Having worked on the college side, within a high school, and as an independent counselor, Mike discovered that many high schools lack the necessary support their students needs during their college search and application experience. He also saw the benefit of the level of service provided to students in private high schools and wanted to make that accessible to all students.

These experiences led to the formation of My College Counselor. We strive to provide all students an effective, efficient, and affordable option to receive support during their college search and application experience.
