Elite College Advising is a boutique college admissions practice founded by Amit Khemka in Chicago (read our story). We work with families across the United States and around the world, so where you live does not limit what we can do together.
How we work, wherever you are
Most of our sessions happen by video, scheduled around your student's school, activities and time zone. I also travel once a quarter to meet families in person, especially those in long-term engagements. SmartTools keeps every deadline, document and session note in one place for the student, parents and advisor, whether you are across town or across the world. Every family has access to the same services, from early planning through applications, which you can see on our Offerings page.
