Not sure what to expect? Here's what one of our parents had to say about their experience with College Match, 

"Choosing College Match is one of the best investments I have made in my life. We were scrambling as a family to understand the complex college admissions process. The best part of working with David’s system is that he will not change your kid, but rather identify his/her strengths and help polish them. My kid got offers from multiple dream colleges."

- Parent of Ayush Nag, University of Washington, Allen School of Engineering Freshman

What is the Montesano Method?

The Montesano Methodology begins with the student’s grades and test scores but goes well beyond to identify and communicate each student’s unique profile to college admissions officers. It focuses on each student’s distinct qualifications within a particular college’s applicant pool.

There are four distinct and powerful stages:

  • In the first stage, the Sparks, our students take stock of their own priorities, passions and interests and establishes an authentic foundation to construct a college path.
  • The second stage, the Fire, develops those sparks into experiences that test the student's passion and commitment and reveals the enduring values and interests that will maintain their momentum.
  • The third stage, the Vision creates an unique and accessible objective for each student that incorporates their Fire and the successes they have already achieved.
  • The fourth stage, the Brand, matches the Vision with the best schools and formulates an application for each school that highlights the student's unique qualities to make them stand out in the crowd.
