By the time it feels urgent,the easy wins are gone.
Your child is in grade 10. Scholarship deadlines pass and nobody tells you. The big essay gets written in a panic in November of senior year. By then the classes, the activities and the test dates are already set.
None of this looks like a crisis on any single day. That is why most families spot it two years late. A clear plan fixes the order, so every piece supports the same story instead of fighting for the same weekend.
Everything connected around one student.
Know what to do every semester
A written plan from grade 8 to submission, so nobody is guessing in November of senior year.
An essay only your child could write
We find the real story and help them tell it, without the fight at the kitchen table.
Find the money you qualify for
Scholarships and aid identified before the deadlines pass, not after.
Sit the SAT once, at the right time
A test plan built around your child's schedule, not a generic calendar.
A college list that is actually balanced
Reach, match and safety, chosen on fit rather than on rankings.
Activities that mean something
Fewer commitments, done properly, with real depth to show for it.

Having a clear plan made the college process much easier. I knew what to focus on each year and which schools were a good fit for me.

What we will and will not do
From Grade 8 through Grade 12, we meet your child where they are and build from there.
No package on the first call
You leave with a next step. Buying anything is a separate decision, later.
We do not promise admission
Anyone who promises that is selling you something.
Every counsellor is background checked
Verified before they ever meet your child.
Created By a Parent Who Understands How Difficult This Journey Can Feel.
Founder Venkat Munjeti saw how challenging college planning becomes when families are expected to coordinate dozens of decisions on their own.
Dream College Path was created to bring those decisions into one clearer system – with a real plan and people families can turn to along the way.
“I built Dream College Path so no family has to figure this out alone.” Venkat Munjeti · Founder, Dream College Path

What we will and will not do
Whatever grade your child is in, it’s not too late. We’re transparent about our role: we’re not financial advisors, we never handle your money, and we never take a cut of scholarships your child earns.
STEP 1
Tell us where your child is today
Fifteen minutes on grades, activities, tests and the colleges they like.
STEP 2
See what is missing and what you can still win
We show what is on track, what is slipping, and what you can still fix.
STEP 3
Get a written plan for the next year
Term by term. Classes, test dates, activities, projects and deadlines.
STEP 4
Meet every month and stay on track
Your counselor updates the plan as grades and deadlines change.
Find out where your
child really stands.
Give us thirty minutes. You will know what matters most in the next year, what is going well, and what is slipping. You get it in writing, even if you never work with us.

Before You Get Started.
When should we start?
Earlier is better. Most families start between grade 8 and grade 10, while there is still time to change course choices, activities and test plans. Starting later still helps. It just narrows what we can change.
What does this cost?
Pricing depends on the services and level of support your student needs. We offer flexible packages designed to fit different goals and budgets. Contact us to discuss your needs and find the right option for your family.
What actually happens on the free call?
We’ll learn about your student’s goals, academic background, and college plans. We’ll answer your questions, identify where you may need support, and explain how DreamCollegePath can help—no pressure or commitment.
How much time does it take, and who do we work with?
Most families work with us throughout the college application process, with the timeline depending on their goals and needs. You’ll work directly with experienced college admissions professionals who provide personalized guidance and support along the way.
Is it too late if we are in Grade 11 or 12?
Do you guarantee college admission?
No. No one can honestly guarantee admission to a specific college. We focus on helping students build stronger applications, make informed college choices, and navigate the admissions process with a clear, personalized strategy.
How is this different from our school counselor?
School counselors support many students across a wide range of academic and college needs. DreamCollegePath provides more personalized, one-on-one guidance focused specifically on your student’s college goals, application strategy, essays, activities, and overall admissions plan.
Can services be combined into one plan?
Yes. Services can be tailored and combined based on your student’s specific needs and stage in the college process. We’ll help you choose the right combination of support rather than paying for services you don’t need.
