Our Approach
At College Advisor Group, we understand the college admissions process can be stressful and we aim to alleviate much of that stress and make the journey a positive and even enjoyable one. We work with students to help them gain self-knowledge and then provide comprehensive guidance tailored to each student's preferences and aspirations.

Our Story
Ginny and Missi became passionate about college admissions over six years ago as they each started navigating the process with their own children. Since then, they have spent countless hours researching colleges, visiting college campuses, and learning from various admissions professionals. In preparation for launching College Advisor Group, Ginny and Missi have taken classes through UCLA in pursuit of earning the Certificate in College Counseling and are Associate Members of the Independent Educational Consultants Association.
This education paired with their first-hand experience provides them the foundation and expertise to successfully advise their students about all aspects of the college admissions process.
At College Advisor Group, we believe in success through self-reflection. We empower our students to make wise college choices guided by the discovery of their personal values and ambitions. We believe this is the best way for a student to truly find a college that is the right fit.
