College Planning Is Personal. We Think the Relationship Should Be, Too.
Good advising is built on trust, and trust is built over time. That is why StrivePath students meet face-to-face with the same advisor throughout their journey, at an office in their own community, with virtual meetings available when schedules call for it.
An advisor who knows your student, your family, and your local high school can give guidance that a generic online program never will.
-
Offices throughout California
Students meet at a StrivePath office near home, so advising fits naturally into their week instead of feeling like one more screen.
-
One consistent advisor
The same advisor works with your student year after year, so plans build on real knowledge of their strengths, habits, and goals.
-
Virtual flexibility when helpful
Traveling, in season, or short on time? Sessions can move online without losing the relationship or the momentum.

"We've worked with several college counselors for our son who is in college and our daughter who is a senior applying to college. We felt that Sunny and his team provided the most clear, concrete, and actionable advice. We feel that the input and advice we got will make a big difference."

Thank you, StrivePath! As a mom navigating our first college process, I can’t say enough about Saumya—she was patient, supportive, reassuring, and kind from start to finish. She built a realistic summer plan for my son that helped us complete the college research and essay work early, so when October 1 arrived, our applications were already submitted. The organization and calm she brought to the process were a huge relief. She reassured my son that he would have many options and celebrated each college admittance with him. We felt guided every step of the way. Get ready for Kid #2!

Strivepath really does strive for excellence. My daughter is with Strivepath for sometime now. Their counselors are very empathetic, resourceful and knowledgeable. They focus on kids mental health a lot while guiding the path for college admissions. I will highly recommend their service for anyone looking for college counseling. We are very happy with their service.
