About Us
We believe in empowering students to shape a college process that clarifies their vision for the future.
We believe success is individual to each student.
We believe in advising as a profession.
We hone our craft through reflection, professional development & mutual learning & growth in every client relationship we build.
Philosophy
We help students tap into what is most important for them to thrive in college, identify colleges that match their vision, build experiences that will lead them in the direction of their goals & passions, & craft compelling personal applications they will be proud to submit.
Experience
What sets us apart at The Best U is our experience.
In addition to knowing the ins and outs of the admissions process, and keeping up to date on the latest trends and data in the field, every member of the TBU Team is deeply experienced in advising students to maximize their potential through crafting their best applications and shaping a strong and strategic admissions process.
We understand that knowing what a great application looks like is not the same as knowing how to support students to maximize their potential in life and on the application.
Our team's decades of experience working closely with high school students in the admissions process gives us this edge.

Brave & Safe Space
We honor and respect the multifaceted identities of our students including sexuality, gender identity, race, ethnicity, class, religion, ability status, national origin, culture, and creed.
We provide a safe and brave space for students to fully express who they are, communicate authentically, be open to courageous conversations, and learn from each other.
