Getting to Know You
My goal in the college application process is getting to know you, so that you can go where you will shine the most. What do I mean by that? Will you be happy at a large school in an urban setting, or are you better matched with a liberal arts school, or somewhere in between? Do you have goals of research projects and internships? Are you aiming for grad school or a gap year? Let’s find out.
Prep, Planning, and Scholarships
It all begins with an idea of what your interests are and what you have done to lean into them. Have you joined clubs or organizations focusing on your interests? These small acts will demonstrate your personality, inclinations and your character. Having a well rounded resume will show the type of person you are, and the achievements you’re most proud of.
Hourly Rates $150/Hour
Sometimes you will need tailored advice specific to your situation or your interests. Hourly rates can be a more cost-effective way to work together. These meetings will be based on the level of support you need. Hourly rates may also be supplemental to standard grade level packages that require more consulting.
Examples of when an hourly rate might apply:
Targeted Support
Athletes Entering NCAA
Performing Arts Portfolios
Essay Reviews
Flexibility
CTE or Career & Technical School Advising
Essays, Testing, and Interviews
Essays and interviews are as much part of the process as sending in your test scores and transcripts. Identifying what essay topics suit you best, and practicing for interviews, means you are headed in the right direction. If we’ve worked together for a while, you will have the foundation to jump right in and show what value you bring to the table. If we are just getting started, there is no time like the present to demonstrate your accomplishments and practice those skills.
Highlighting your character and values in the right way can be the game changer you need. Show an admissions team that you’re ready to contribute to their community.
Our Mission
At College Copilot the goal is to meet you where you are.
Together we will discover the best options for your future, have realistic conversations, and see where you can be challenged. Topics of discussion will involve your academic history, the social vibe you are aiming for, and your best financial match. Let’s find the right school for you!

Industry Trends
I have experience in helping students that are looking into specialized industries. Continuous learning to stay knowledgeable on the requirements and industry growth trends over the next ten years. Fields of interest to consider are AI, Construction Management, Aviation, Environmental Engineering, Cyber Security, CIS, and Finance.
Taking assessments will help highlight your natural abilities. This will give us perspective on the right matches for you to succeed and thrive.
I will provide guidance and resources for those interested in non-traditional pathways, such as Career & Technical Education programs.
College Visits
Visiting colleges is part of my job and I love it. I add to my list each season and I’m happy to share what I have learned. By going on college visits I gain insight, knowledge and connections that can benefit you when working with me. I continue to add to my list, so feel free to ask me if I’ve visited the ones on your list! I know there is a wide range to choose from. Let’s work together to find the right fit for your needs.
Where you go is not as important as what you do when you get there.
About Me
Nice to meet you, I’m Jamie from Sammamish, WA, and Founder of College Copilot. Before making a career shift into college advising I spent 26 years in the marketing and branding industry. I have a Bachelors in Business from Miami University, Ohio, a College Counseling Certificate from UCSD, and a few other certificates from Dale Carnegie. Part of being an IEC (Independent Education Consultant) means I get to work with students that are “still figuring it out” as much as those students that have it “dialed in.”
I’m eager to see what my clients are naturally inclined to do, and help them find where they can shine doing it.
