College Planning Services, Inc.
About
Upper East Side families think ahead. College Planning Services, Inc. specializes in demystifying the admissions process—from SAT strategy and financial-aid forms to crafting a balanced college list that matches both aspirations and budget. The office sits at 111 E 85th St, a quiet stretch between Lexington and Park where brownstones and prep-school storefronts set the tone for serious conversations about next steps.
Guidance here covers every phase: early-action deadlines, essay workshops, scholarship searches, and even mid-year transfers. Seniors and juniors meet one-on-one to review transcripts, extracurricular narratives, and interview prep; younger students can start building a four-year roadmap so nothing catches them off guard. The neighborhood’s mix of private academies and public-school pipelines means the advice is tailored to diverse academic backgrounds and financial realities.
Appointments fill quickly during peak seasons, so calling (212) 671-1972 a few weeks out is wise. Directions and current availability are easiest to check on the map.
