Colleges as
unique as your
student.
Garrett Educational Consulting guides students and families through the college admissions process, from building a best-fit college list to the final decision. Our team is led by founder Katie Garrett, a Certified Educational Planner (CEP), Professional Member of the Independent Educational Consultants Association (IECA), and Chair of IECA's Charlotte Regional Chapter, with a graduate certificate in Independent Educational Consulting from UC-Irvine.
Based in Charlotte, we work with families across the Carolinas and throughout the United States, in person and virtually. Students can begin College Admissions 360 in any year of high school, from freshman year through senior year.

OUR APPROACH
We support students through every step of the college admissions process - from building the right school list to submitting the final application.
The process has a lot of moving parts. We keep them organized - clear deadlines, consistent check-ins, and a structure that keeps families on track without getting overwhelmed by the details.
Realistic and
ambitious. Calm
either way.
