private consultant

CAJ+ Subscription — $89.99/year. Full access to all tools, checklists, presentations, and templates for your entire family. Compare that to a private college consultant, who typically charges $150–$300 per hour. CAJ gives you the same expert-built framework for less than the cost of a single consultation.
Expert college admissions app saving families money with guidance from an experienced Assistant Dean of Admissions. He has 18+ years of experience reviewing thousands of applications at the undergraduate and graduate levels- including at T20 universities and top 5 programs. CAJ's mission is to make college admissions prep both accessible and easy.
Private college consultants are valuable — but they' re expensive, and not every family
can afford thousands of dollars in billable hours. College Admissions JumpStart was
built to bridge that gap. CAJ won't write your student's essay for them or sit across a desk from you. But it will give you an essential framework, checklists, tools, and expert presentations you need to navigate the process confidently — for just $89.99 a year.
The app is designed for students in grades 9–12. The earlier students start, the more
value they get — outgoing 8th and incoming 9th graders can use the grade-level checklists to build great habits from the start.
College Admissions JumpStart is currently available on the Apple App Store for iPhone.
Android availability is coming in the future.
CAJ provides all the expert-built foundations and tools that a college consultant would
walk you through. It won't provide one-on-one essay feedback or apply to college for
you — but it will save you hundreds of dollars in billable hours and make sure you never
miss a step. If you do hire a consultant for those things, this app will greatly compliment that relationship.
Parents subscribe and create an account. Students download the app separately and
link to their parent's account using a unique profile code. Both can access the tools from their own devices.
