Getting into college is tougher than ever.

Every year, more and more students try their hands at getting into the top academic institutions in the world, competing for a handful of spaces available -

and more and more students are getting help. The rise of college consultants has grown right alongside college admissions, to the point where the question isn’t if a college consultant is needed,

but which.

Cosmic is different.

The majority of college consultants come from exceedingly similar backgrounds - consultants, admissions officers, the like. Not a bad background!

But among hundreds, if not thousands, of agencies, they struggle to bring anything new to the table that their peers don’t. Cosmic wants to change that. We actively seek out and promote advisors from lateral fields, whether they be doctors, industry professionals, or any other niche that a prospective applicant might benefit from specializing an application in.

We aren’t just giving guidance on what flowery language to put in an essay to hopefully resonate with whichever admissions officer is reading your application. We’re working from real-world experience to guide you to the best possible application, however we can.

We don’t just want to make you look better - we want to help you be better.

  • Don’t panic - it isn’t too late to start worrying about college! 

    As a senior, you’ve already been through the majority of your high-school years - and we’ll be working with you to sculpt the story of those years into the best application possible. We’ll go over your prior extracurriculars and identify if any new ones could be helpful at this stage of your schooling career, and help laser-focus on whatever academic niche you believe you’ve been, or will be, most successful in. We’ll work hard and fast to make sure your essays are in perfect shape, as will we for any waitlist or deferral letters that crop up along the way. We’ll prep you and your resume for interviews, and pick up anything else that comes up in the final stretch of applications as needed. This is a scary time for everyone, but don’t worry - we’ve got you.

  • This is the big one. 

    Of all the years that’ll factor into your college admissions, this may be the most important. We’ll be here for you every step of the way, from your senior course load to your extracurriculars, to your summer plans (this is the last summer you’ll have before admissions season - we’ll make sure it counts with a project that really matters!). We’ll also help you formulate your academic niche, and craft your application around that. Personal statements, letters of recommendation, lists of colleges to apply to, arranging campus tours and helping make sure the colleges remember you: it’s all on the table, and we’re here for you through it all.

  • Here’s when things start to kick into gear. 

    Many students wait until junior, if not senior, year to start preparing for college. Starting now means you have a leg up on them, and we’ll be there to help you capitalize on that advantage. We’ll help plan your course load, extracurriculars, and take all the steps you need to enable some really impressive work your junior and senior years. There are a lot of prestigious summer programs for juniors in STEM, for example - to have a shot at getting into those, we’ll start helping you prepare now. You have a few years ahead of you still, but there’s no time like the present! Get started now and you’ll thank yourself later.

  • This is where it all starts. 

    Most students without advisors won’t even be thinking of college at this point, and that’s a good thing for you. At this point, we’ll be working with you to help you discover what it is you’re passionate about, and what you might want to do come your college years. We’ll be helping you craft a roadmap for the rest of your high school career, and get you ahead of your peers from the starting line. You have time, and we can take full advantage of that: we will make sure you’re able to find something you’re truly passionate about, and we’ll help you lay the roadmap for a high school career that takes full advantage of that.
