What students are saying:
I’m David Montesano, owner of College Match US and creator of the Montesano Method.
I was the first college admissions strategist to bring a business-minded approach to getting into college.
Throughout my 20 years of experience, I have helped countless students and their families navigate the waters of college admissions, consistently achieving a 95% success rate of getting students into their first choice school. {Read more}
I see my role as your partner in helping your child achieve their dreams. This can be a stressful time for both you and him, and having someone on your side who knows the ins and outs of college applications is invaluable. Not only does it increase the odds of success, but it makes the entire process less trying for everyone involved. Just like you, I wholeheartedly believe your child has what it takes to reach her goals. {Read more}
BRAND U
My book, Brand U, further details my strategy to get an admissions officer to sit up and take notice of your application, rather than quickly tossing it in the “no” pile.
By not only focusing on HOW to apply but WHERE, I help set students apart from the pack by getting colleges to think of them as an asset, rather than an applicant.
