Early Start is a Good Start
Most college admissions pages recommend starting your application process in 12th grade or during the summer between 11th and 12th grade. However, at College Simple, we believe that waiting until the last minute isn’t the ideal path to success
Start early with us to take control of your four-year academic and extracurricular activities journey and craft your application step by step.
See our services for 9th and 10th grade students below to choose the level of commitment you can make and start your college readiness journey right away.

Enhance your options
Early preparation means you can learn about every college type in the US to explore various college options thoroughly and select the one that truly suits your goals and ambitions.
Quality over Quantity
Starting in early years of high school and thinking ahead gives you opportunity to compose high quality and meaningful extracurriculars portfolio.
