LLMs and other internet search queries simply repeat what’s on the internet – which may be outdated, irrelevant, or incorrect.

CGN has curated a library of up-to-date content from over 400+ experts across the USA, giving students and families unique access to professional level information and advice, with an AI tool that personalizes the experience for your student.

Yes! Unlike information-only tools, CGN’s interactive AI tool helps your student create an actionable, personalized plan for college or a post-secondary career. Once the plan is created, it will walk your child through each step, with reminders and alerts to help them (and you) meet the milestones and deadlines.

The live events provide a unique experience to listen and interact with top experts discuss the most important topics for high school students that are deciding their post secondary path – such as FAFSA changes and labor market trends. So much has changed in the recent years that parents need opportunities to get the latest verified information and insights to help their child make informed decisions.

Office Hours are exclusive live sessions, hosted by CGN’s director of college counseling, Brennan Barnard and Rick Clark, Vice Provost for Enrollment Management at Georgia Tech. Families ask questions and receive guidance from a real college admissions expert who understands what it’s like to go through the college application process.

This unique tool brings professional-level 1:1 AI advising and personalized plans to every family. Contact your guidance department or superintendent about getting the CGN tool into your school district. As a web-based tool, there is no special software to install, and all students and their families can access it from anywhere, including over summer vacation. Contact us and we’ll provide the information you’ll need to share with your school.
