Hoven Educational Consulting was started with the idea of taking the process out of the admissions experience. The search for and applying to college should not be viewed as a conveyor belt with boxes to check along the way. Instead, Hoven Educational Consulting focuses on the needs of the student and family, individualizing the search and building an experience that offers growth and desired options for their future academic path.
