Building your List
At Success Koach, we take a personalized approach to building each student’s college list, ensuring it aligns with their unique goals, preferences, and priorities. Our process begins with getting to know the student’s academic interests, career aspirations, and personal preferences when it comes to campus culture. By combining these student-specific insights with our admission experts' guidance, we help students identify schools where they can excel both academically and socially.
We work to create a balanced list that includes a thoughtful mix of reach, target, and safety schools, ensuring students have a range of strong options to choose from. Throughout the process, we encourage students to think beyond rankings and focus on finding colleges that truly fit their needs and aspirations. Whether students are looking for a small liberal arts college, a large research university, or something in between, our goal is to help them feel confident and excited about every school on their list.
