Back-to-campus season is here!

Across the country, college students are getting ready to move into dorms, settle into apartments, reconnect with friends, and prepare for another year of new experiences and opportunities.

For first-year students, this is the beginning of an entirely new chapter. For returning students, it’s a chance to build on everything they’ve already learned and continue growing both inside and outside the classroom.

And to the parents helping with the packing, move-in, last-minute errands, and goodbyes, we know this transition is a big one for you, too.

From all of us at Custom College Consulting, we’re wishing every college student a wonderful start to the year filled with learning, growth, new friendships, and plenty of memorable moments along the way.

EdPro Collaborative is proud to present our first FREE webinar of the season:

“What’s Happening in College Admissions? And Why It Matters”
Tuesday, August 25

College admissions continue to change quickly, and understanding those changes can make a real difference in how families approach the process.

Allison Grandits and Ellen Kuppersmith will break down the trends shaping the upcoming admissions cycle, including testing policies, application strategy, financial aid, direct admission, and the growing role of AI.

Whether your student is applying this year, beginning the college search, or still a few years away, this is a great opportunity to better understand what is happening—and why it matters.

Senior year is almost here... Is your student ready?

While many seniors will spend the first weeks of school wondering where to begin, our Bootcamp students will start the year with confidence, momentum, and a clear plan.

Congratulations to the incredible students who recently completed Custom College Consulting's College Application Bootcamp! They've already made significant progress on their applications before the school year has even begun.
If your student missed one of our earlier sessions, there's still one final opportunity.

🚨 Our LAST College Application Bootcamp of the season will be held August 29–30.

Designed for busy families, this special Weekend Intensive is offered in a flexible hybrid format. Students may attend in person at our Rockville, Maryland office or join virtually from anywhere, allowing them to participate in the format that works best for them.

During this intensive weekend, students will:
• Make significant progress on the Common Application
• Strengthen (or complete) their personal statement
• Finalize their college list and application strategy
• Gain clarity, confidence, and a head start before senior year gets busy

This isn't just about getting applications started—it's about reducing stress, staying ahead of deadlines, and beginning senior year with purpose.
Seats are limited, and this is the final Bootcamp we'll offer before application deadlines begin.

Don't let your student fall behind before the race even starts.

It’s that time of year… cars are packed to the brim, mini-fridges are being hauled up staircases, and families are making that unforgettable first drop-off at college. For students, it’s the exciting leap into life as a college freshman. For parents… it’s the beginning of learning how to let go (while doing their best not to cry in the parking lot.

These students are ready—years of hard work, determination, and maybe a little guidance from Custom College Consulting 😉 have prepared them for whatever comes their way: new classes, new friends, inspiring professors… and experiences that will shape who they become.

It’s a season filled with pride, excitement, and just the right touch of bittersweet. Here’s to an incredible freshman year—one full of growth, adventure, and memories that will last a lifetime. And parents, don’t worry, they’ll be back with all their laundry soon enough.

Last Chance to Register: UCAS Application Workshop

Planning to apply to universities in the United Kingdom this fall? If so, this is your final opportunity to join Custom College Consulting's live UCAS Application Workshop before application season begins.

The UCAS application is very different from the Common App. From choosing the right course of study to understanding admissions requirements and completing each section correctly, every decision plays an important role in building a competitive application.

From Start to Submit: The UCAS Application Workshop

Designed specifically for U.S. students applying to UK universities, this interactive workshop will guide students through the UCAS process from beginning to end.

During this three-hour session, participants will learn what admissions tutors are looking for, avoid common mistakes, and leave with a clear plan for completing their applications.

📅 Thursday, August 13
🕐 1:00–4:00 PM ET
💻 Live Virtual Workshop
💲 Tuition: $250

During the workshop, students will:
✅ Set up and navigate their UCAS application
✅ Learn how to strategically select university courses
✅ Understand timelines, references, and application requirements
✅ Develop a plan for the UCAS Personal Statement
✅ Receive personalized guidance and have questions answered live

Please have a laptop ready! This is a hands-on workshop where students will actively work on their applications—not just watch a presentation.

Whether applying to one UK university or several, students will leave with meaningful progress on their applications, greater confidence, and a clear roadmap for the months ahead.

This is the final UCAS workshop that Custom College Consulting will offer before the application season is fully underway, and registration is closing soon.
