Reach the lodestar of your college journey.
Premium, founder led college counseling for ambitious students. We turn rigor and ambition into acceptance letters from the nation's most selective universities.

Where our story begins.
A founder's journey · Now your roadmap
Strategy, transparency, partnership.
Every Lodestar family receives the founder directly on every revision, a transparent timeline of milestones, and a roadmap that adapts as your story grows. We measure success in acceptance letters and scholarship dollars, not billable hours.
Answers before the first call.
Who is Lodestar for?+
Ambitious freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors aiming for top thirty universities, honors programs, and meaningful scholarship awards.
How is this different from a typical college counselor?+
Every plan is built and delivered by the founder, Krish Sav, who recently walked the same road and earned over $400K in scholarship offers.
Why Lodestar?+
We believe premium guidance should not require premium pricing. Lodestar is more affordable than most major college consulting firms while delivering founder-led mentorship. The founder's own results include six acceptances and over $400K in scholarship offers; we bring that same rigor to every family we serve.
Do you work with families remotely?+
Yes. All consultations are virtual, which means we serve families across every U.S. time zone and internationally.
When should we start?+
The strongest results come from sophomore or early junior year, but we accept seniors through the early action window if capacity allows.
Your future begins with a conversation.
