What college counseling costs and what families should compare

Families usually compare price first, but price only makes sense once you know what level of workflow support, essay review, and counselor availability is actually included.

What to compare besides price

  • How many schools are included
  • Whether essay and supplemental review are included
  • How deadlines and planning are managed
  • Whether students get access to free tools before buying
  • How communication and meeting requests are handled

Why workflow matters

A lower price can still create extra stress if planning lives in email, docs, and separate tools. IvyPathway positions the platform itself as part of the value, not just counselor time.
