Julian Brooks was my counselor for the 2020 admission cycle. At first I was very nervous and didn't think I had much of a chance with many of my targeted colleges. But with his help, the application process was very smooth and my confidence … More grew. Julian did a great job communicating deadlines and advice to keep me on track. He knows exactly what he is talking about as I ended up getting into many of the UC's. I am overjoyed with my result! He actually saved my parents more money in the long run with financial aid than they spent for EdMD college counseling. This is definitely a worthy investment.

How We Can Help
EdMD’s unique process and most current data will help you in preparing and applying to colleges.
College Prep & Roadmapping
Roadmapping is the first step in your college admissions journey where we lay out the college prep process, step-by-step, into a manageable timeline as well as the roles and responsibilities for all involved. We also provide a list of optimal colleges and majors based on your student’s life goals.
College Applications
Based on your chosen colleges list, we will determine which applications are required: Cal State, UC, Commonapp, Coalition App or College Specific App. We then guide you through the actual application submission process.
College Essays
Some of the colleges you may have chosen to apply to may require either basic or extensive essays to be written and submitted as part of your application. We offer several levels of essay assistance based on the essay requirements.
Financial Aid
We will complete various first-year student financial aid application forms based on the colleges to which you are applying. The college you attend will determine which financial aid forms are required for your second year and beyond. We help with the FAFSA, CSS Profile, NCP, and Business Farm forms, etc.
Matriculation
Matriculation is the final step of the EdMD process and is required for each student and family to finish the process of acceptance and all that comes thereafter.

Julian Brooks is truly one of the best college counselors out there. If you are looking for one I highly recommend going to him. He is incredibly efficient, … More knowledgeable, and trustworthy.
He has a lot of insight into what particular schools look for and because of that he is able to tailor your application to be more pleasing to specific schools. After assessing my academic strengths and personality, Julian identified that a business-related major would be the perfect fit for me. He informed me that Cal Poly’s Business Administration major is difficult to get into so he provided an alternative major that would improve my chances of getting into the College of Business. Julian not only helped me gain an acceptance to Cal Poly, but also helped me receive a Cal Grant and other financial aid. He is easily accessible via text, email, phone, and video conference - to this day I still text him about random questions that I have lol. Navigating college applications on your own, while possible, can be very challenging even with the help of a school counselor. If you have the extra money and are looking for someone to make your college application process much easier to manage I highly recommend him! I cannot say enough good things.
