THINK DIFFERENTLY

A great college application starts with a great conversation.

OUR MISSION

An excellent educational consultant can help spark that conversation so you can put your best foot forward for admissions committees and create a personal statement which showcases your strengths.

Great Minds Education Consultants works intensively with students from start to finish, helping to brainstorm, write, and proofread applications, getting to know our students along the way so that we can help them effectively communicate what makes them special. While most elite educational consultants charge high premiums to meet with students just a handful of times and make suggestions and light edits via email, Great Minds takes an innovative and highly personalized approach, working closely with students, either at our office in Los Angeles, or in-home. We can help you find and gain admission to a college where you will flourish.
