Services

While every student will benefit from college consulting services, not every student requires the exact same services.

Tree Street offers an initial complimentary consultation to learn more about the student and their family, and share information about how Tree Street can help them navigate the college admissions process.

While meeting early in a student’s high school career is most beneficial, Tree Street helps focus and ease the admissions process whenever work together begins. Tree Street guides students in any year of high school, college students considering transferring, and gap year or other students taking a break from their education looking to either apply or reapply to colleges. Whatever a student’s background and whenever they are ready, Tree Street helps each student navigate college admissions with guidance specifically tailored to them. 

Students and families decide which services they would like and work together begins.
