Who Is On Track College Advising?
On Track College Advising was born from a passion for helping students find their perfect college fit. With over two decades of experience in collegiate athletic coaching and advising, we bring a unique perspective to the college selection process. Our founder’s background as a Division 1 Collegiate Coach and NCAA expert gives us insider knowledge that sets us apart in the field of college advising.
The OTCA Approach
At OTCA, we believe that choosing a college is about more than just getting accepted – it’s about finding an institution where you’ll thrive academically, athletically, AND personally. Our approach is comprehensive, completely personalized, and always focused on you, the student. Here’s a bit about what makes us different:
- Personalized Attention. We take the time to get to know you – your most audacious goals, your biggest fears, and your wildest dreams. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all process. This is a personal journey and we tailor our advice to your unique needs.
- Athletic Expertise. For student-athletes, we offer some pretty amazing insights into the world of collegiate sports. We understand the unique challenges you face and can help you balance your athletic requirements and academic goals.
- Comprehensive Support. We guide our students through the entire college journey, from initial list creation to final college selection. Our comprehensive support covers self-discovery, financial aid, applications, and continues through your college years until graduation.
- Family Dynamics. We know that college selection often involves the whole family. On Track College Advising is here to be a neutral third party, helping to facilitate productive conversations and ensure everyone’s voice is heard.
- Faith-Based Values. Our advice is always grounded in integrity, compassion, and a genuine desire to see you succeed. We speak truth and love, always keeping your best interests at heart.
