Choosing a college can be overwhelming!

Hi, My name is Mike Davila.

 I am the founder and one of the partners at College Inroads. I would say that one of the biggest concerns that families have when they come to us is that they’re having a hard time finding the right fit college for their students.

And that’s understandable, considering that there are 2400 4-year colleges out there, and let’s face it, everybody’s really strapped for both time and resources these days. So one of the things that we do here at College and Roads is look at everything through the lens of College Affordability, and we help students narrow that bigger list down to a much more manageable list for them to consider and apply to.

One of the other things that we always have believed is that
there is a college out there for everybody.

One of our biggest success stories isn’t necessarily a student getting into the Ivy League or the upper tier one schools, even though we do have students that attend those institutions. This one student I’m thinking about actually was 480th out of his class of 500 students.

So we’re not talking to the most stellar student here, but he got accepted into six out of eight colleges that he applied to and even got a $20,000 scholarship for the one that he ended up attending.

So if you’re ready to get started, if you’re ready to find the Right Fit college for you, just please contact us and consider setting up an appointment with us. Thanks so much.

With the help and support of College Inroads, my high school senior went from ambivalent about college to getting accepted into a fashion program at a 4 year university and feeling excited to start the next chapter in their life! This service gave my child guidance and counseling to help them find their passion, narrow down the search for school, complete the applications and get accepted into their top choice!

College Inroads helped us clearly understand the requirements, steps and key dates for the college application process. They then worked with my daughter to stay on track and coached her through the steps. She was accepted at all the schools she applied! I would highly recommend them!

Annmarie is located in austin tx but has been an incredible resource to my friends and family with high school seniors in Ohio and in San Antonio. She makes finding the perfect college so smooth. She is extremely knowledgeable with paperwork. She has saved the relationships between teen and mom by being the “naggers” of paperwork leaving room for mom and kids to savor those last few months together!

College Inroads is fabulous!! They guided us through the daunting college search, essays, applications and financial aid process. They pace the process so its manageable for both the kids and the parents. I am certain that the money we saved from the scholarships and reduced college fees more than covered the cost of their service. Looking back, I can't imagine doing this process without the College Inroads team!

College In Roads has been a great partner to our family in navigating the college selection and admissions process. Having a trusted third-party advisor was a huge bonus for our daughter, it really broadened her perspective and gave her someone to work with in a safer way than just her parents :). For my wife and I, CIR also was invaluable in the project management of the entire process, making sure we hit deadlines and engaging our daughter's accountability in that process. We have recommended CIR numerous times and signed up for our younger daughter as well - great experience.

College InRoads was a phenomenal experience from the very beginning. When my son was a sophomore, we sat down with Mike and Dee and they walked us through a summary of what to expect for the upcoming year and through to graduation. We received a binder, log-ins for their student portal and appointments for several assessments. They walked my son through everything from narrowing down to a few potential majors, best schools suited to him for his preferences AND a ton of essay tutoring and mentoring. We didn't have to worry about missing any deadlines or stressing about my son's admission process! We got a short list of schools to visit and updates on admissions, essay deadlines and financial aid information. I truly believe that College Inroads helped my son maximize his opportunities and he ended up with a FULL SCHOLARSHIP to the college of his choice! Thank you, Mike, Dee and Annemarie!
