On the matchmaking call, we hand-pick the independent counselor who fits your student. Don’t think it’s the right fit? We keep matching until you’re confident.
Book a matchmaking call ›Before your first meeting, your counselor receives everything we learned on the matchmaking call: your student’s goals, grades, school list so far, and what’s keeping you up at night. Your student never has to start over or repeat their story. Day one starts at step two.
Family and counselor work from the same live plan: every deadline, checkpoint and goal in one place, synced to your calendar. You always know what’s done, what’s next and who owns it, from the day you join to decision day.
The match isn’t where we leave. We check in with your family throughout the process, and if anything feels off, from slow essay feedback to a missed deadline, we step back in for your student and make it right.
Any admissions question, any hour, free. Ask 2by2 gives straight answers in seconds on lists, essays, testing and aid, so small questions never wait for the next meeting. Everything you ask helps your counselor understand your student better.
A short note only when something changes that affects your student: test policies, financial aid rules, new deadlines. No spam and no pitch. Joining the 2by2 family puts you on it.
Small on purpose. If they’re on your call, they earned their seat.
A few from our network. Names and faces are shared on your matchmaking call.

A lesser‑known route in, built for students whose first transcript doesn’t tell their whole story. She maps out the AP and college credit that can carry a student into UCLA or Berkeley as a junior.
Learned the playbook inside two of the biggest admissions firms, then went independent to work closely with fewer families. Your student gets that insider strategy without becoming one of hundreds on a roster.
Leads a team of expert counselors at an established independent practice. Your student gets more than one set of eyes on every list, essay and deadline, from the first draft to the final submission.
Spent 20+ years on the USC and UCLA committees that decide who gets in. Most consultants guess what admissions officers want. She was the officer, and she shows students exactly how files get read.
There are a lot of so‑called “consultants” out there, selling packages to anxious parents and treating the student like a project. We don’t sell. We represent. 110+ counselors have applied to our network. Only a select few made it in, so the one on your call is the one who actually fits your student.
