Leading the way for personal and academic excellence.
Starting in Grade 8 or 9, we help students through the entire college planning process. This may include a variety of strategies such as:
- College selection
- Choosing volunteer opportunities
- High school curriculum planning
- Matching internship opportunities
- Learning time-management skills
- Practicing for interviews
- Preparing applications
- Summer planning
- Writing college essays
We go a step further than the status quo
Our high-performance programs include academic mentorship, community engagement, and personal development. Our method aligns with the expectations of top colleges and universities, which not only focus on external accomplishments like grades but are intrigued by who a student is from the inside out.
We work with students all over the world
We work with students from New York to Shanghai. Being a global company, we understand higher education on an international level. Regardless of your location— California, New York, the country of Georgia, or the city of Chengdu—remote and online education continues to be immensely impactful. We guide USA and International students through our comprehensive programs that are at the forefront of admissions and career trends.

No star shines as bright as the BLUE STAR
Did you know that blue stars are the brightest in any celestial constellation?
Blue stars are hot, massive, and emit a blue-white light with surface temperatures reaching tens of thousands of degrees Celsius (~25,000 K) and a mass that is 60X larger than the sun.
Their high energy output and intense radiation make them important in shaping the environments around them, influencing the formation and evolution of planets and other celestial bodies. It is the Blue Stars philosophy that every academic applicant has the potential to be a blue star among a constellation of stars in the admissions pool.
In order to get to this great state of luminosity, teens must be prepared, organized, and strategic to present themselves with clarity, style, intensity, and distinctiveness. Oftentimes, this tall order is best achieved through a collaborative partnership with a team of college and admission prep consultants with a proven track record for success.
Blue Stars helps teens — future college applicants — as they explore their interests, demonstrate their passions, showcase their achievements, and define their aspirations.
