COLLEGE VISITS offers the college bound student a first-hand look at colleges and universities throughout the United States. Their experience in working with a multitude of higher education institutions, enables them to obtain meetings with admissions representatives, student led tours, and campus housing. This helps to take the hassle and worry away from the student and parents in organizing a family visit. COLLEGE VISITS tours cover all aspects of college life. They tour small, medium and large schools, rural and urban, and public and private schools. The tours cover almost every region of the U.S.
Note from Corey: I worked with Robert when I was at Johns Hopkins and have also had very positive feedback about his tours, so I feel very comfortable recommending his service.

The College Board

They are also the managers of the CSS/PROFILE (the financial aid application service of the College Board that many of the member colleges, universities, and scholarship programs use to help them award nonfederal student aid funds).
The ACT administers the ACT, a popular alternative to the SAT, that tests a student's knowledge in the areas of English, Math, Reading, and Science (and the optional Writing portion).
The Common Application is a not-for-profit organization that provides an admission application - online and in print - that students may submit to any of the more than 300 member institutions. Membership is limited to colleges and universities that evaluate students using a holistic selection process.
