Services

One service. One price. Full support.

We believe college admissions coaching should be simple, transparent, and focused entirely on your student’s success.

At CAPSTAR, there’s no “package” to choose from and no hidden costs—just comprehensive, one-on-one guidance from the moment you join until your student starts college.

We work with students who want more than quick tips or generic advice. Our role is to be your student’s steady guide—answering questions, easing stress, and making the process feel achievable and exciting.

01

Clarity on the Process

We explain how admissions decisions are really made so you can focus on what matters and feel confident about your application.

02

Finding the Right Fit

Together, we identify schools that match your student’s goals, values, and personality—not just their test scores.

03

Support from Start to Finish

From early planning to final decisions, we keep your student motivated and on track every step of the way.

Your $2,000 fee covers everything:

  • Comprehensive one-on-one guidance (email, calls, video, in person if local)

“Thank you SO much for your kind words, Dr. H!!!! I am certain that my application would not have been as strong without your letter of recommendation and full support!! Your mentorship means more to me than you can imagine, I am incredibly grateful to have you as a role model.” – SB

“Thank you again so much for your time and advice this morning. I am so grateful to know you have our backs during this application process. ” – KC

“It is still surreal to me that I'm here in Vermont doing what I love.  I find myself thinking about what you did for me and are doing for all the … students going through this process regularly.  I wanted to thank you again from the bottom of my heart, I'm so grateful to have had a mentor like you in my life.  I would not be where I am today without you.  ” – CS
