Working with Shelley was one of the best decisions we made during my son's college applications journey. From start to finish, she provided expert guidance and a clear strategy tailored specifically to his strenghts and interests. Shelley kept the entire process organized and stress-free. I plan to use her again with my younger daughter. I cannot recommend her enough as a college planner.

Turning stress into success

One-on-one meetings: Each student receives personalized attention tailored to their unique goals. To honor this commitment, we only accept a limited number of clients each year, allowing us to provide the highest level of support and develop each student’s unique path.


Support for students: Applications, essays, deadlines, and college portals can feel overwhelming. Summit Driven breaks it down into manageable steps to keep students on track.


Guidance for parents: From start to finish, we provide practical, ongoing support. By eliminating stress and confusion, we help ensure a smoother experience for both students and parents.


Flexible meetings: We work with students via Zoom nationwide or in-person if you are in the Charleston, SC area.
