CAPSTAR

A clear path to college starts here.

Black background with white topographic lines depicting a terrain map.

At CAPSTAR, we offer something different: honest, student-centered guidance from a seasoned admissions expert—without the gimmicks, the pressure, or the sky-high price tag.

We support families through one of the most exciting chapters of life—with clarity, compassion, and a deep understanding of how college admissions really works.

CAPSTAR may be a great match for you if:

01.

You feel judged and intimidated by what the internet says about college admissions.

02.

You want a partner, coach, and supporter who is focused on you, not on their 'method' or ego.

03.

You are confused by consulting packages and shocked at the prices.

If that sounds like you, we’d love to meet.
We welcome first-in-family and gap-year applicants.

What my students are saying…

“I just want to add that I know my classmates and I feel and are so lucky to have you as an advisor and advocate. You truly go above and beyond and I hope you know how appreciated you are!” – TS

“I truly appreciate all of the resources you continue to share with me. Thank you so much for all that you have done for me. It has been a huge blessing to learn from you and receive your support. It means so much to me. ” – OC

“Thank you so much for all your help the past couple years. More than just giving me information and statistics, you have given me hope and encouragement to be my best. I don't think I would have thought I [would succeed] unless you had encouraged me a couple years ago and along the way. ” – AS

We don’t sell fear.
We don’t sell packages.
We keep you excited, not on edge.

Instead, we offer one simple, powerful thing:
One-on-one admissions coaching from a real human who’s been on the inside for 28 years.

Your $2,000 fee covers everything. No tiers. No extras. No expiration. If your child joins as a freshman, we’re with them until graduation.

You won’t find this level of transparency—or this kind of support—anywhere else.

What makes CAPSTAR different

Book a Call

There’s only space for 25 students each year.

CAPSTAR is intentionally small so we can stay deeply personal. If you’re curious whether this is the right fit for your family, let’s talk.
