How pricing works

Four things worth knowing before you call

The discount is already in

Between 10% and 20% is applied to every line on this page depending on scope. The larger number is the list price, the bold one is what you pay.

Flat fees, not hourly

Every service is a flat fee for a defined deliverable. You know the cost before the work starts, and a long session does not cost more than a short one.

Packages beat à la carte

If the services you want add up to more than the matching package, we move you to the package price. We will point that out on the call.

What is not included

Hourly SAT / ACT tutoring is billed separately from test planning. Application fees, score reports and third-party costs are paid directly to the institutions.

Common questions

Questions parents ask about cost

Have more questions? We’ll cover them on your free call.

Do I have to buy a package?

No. Every one of the 22 services can be purchased on its own. Families starting in grade 11 or 12 often begin with a single service  a profile assessment or essay support – and add more only if it helps.

For the multi-service packages, yes. We will walk through the schedule on your free call so you know exactly what is due and when.

We scope down to the work that still has time to matter and price it from the à la carte list, so you are not paying for months that have already passed.

Test planning is included – the timeline, target scores and study strategy. Hourly SAT / ACT tutoring is a separate service billed on its own.

No one honestly can, at any price. What we commit to is a complete, authentic, well-argued application built on good decisions made early enough to count.

They are published prices for defined scopes. If your situation needs something wider or narrower than what is listed, we will quote it against the same rates rather than inventing a number.

Start with a free call

Not sure which one fits?

Tell us what grade your child is in and where you need help. We will point you at the right package – or tell you that you only need one service, whichever is true.

Free 30-minute call. No commitment. Individual outcomes vary.

All prices are in US dollars and apply to services delivered online nationwide. Prices shown reflect current published rates and may be revised; the rate quoted on your call is the rate that applies to your engagement. Application fees, official score reports and any third-party costs are not included. Dream College Path is not sponsored by, affiliated with, or associated with any university or college.
