LifeLaunchr provides expert coaching to help students find their best-fit college and get in. Our coaching has helped students get into top universities in the U.S., U.K, and Canada. One client said it’s like having a “professional counselor in the family.”
Our proven process is based on intensively researched templates for every step of the process: college selection, academic fit, extracurricular activities, essays, financial aid, scholarships, recommendations, and more. The platform provides tools and a proven methodology for coaches to work closely with students. For each student, our credentialed coaches create a personalized task plan that coaches and students update as they work through the process. Students receive text message reminders of key deadlines in the process, including tests, applications, and scholarships. Students, coaches, and parents use LifeLaunchr’s tools to find the best-fit careers, majors, colleges, and scholarships:
- Aptitude and interest tests to identify majors and careers.
- College Match creates a college list based on over 35 criteria, including culture, cost, and academic fit. Identify the likelihood of admission, estimate costs, and consider future earning potential.
- College Research tools to help students research colleges systematically and meticulously.
- Scholarship Match to identify scholarships tailored to a student’s specific profile.
- An essay editing platform, in partnership with Prompt, that tracks every essay for every application and includes tools to develop ideas and get feedback.
