About Us
Why Not?
It all began with a simple question posed by one particular unassuming yet over-achieving high school student. “Why should I even bother applying to that college - people like me that go to high schools like me don’t get into schools like that, right?”. Almost 10 years ago, Coach Vince came up with a simple answer to that very question. The answer was “Why not?” and would eventually become the basis for who and what ITS Solutions is today. From humble beginnings helping a small number of students in the San Francisco Bay Area, ITS has since expanded its reach to include all of California and much of the Western United States and Hawaii. We have helped hundreds of students gain admission to the top California State Universities, UC’s and to the top Private Colleges and Universities in the country - including the Ivy League.
Our Mission
ITS has advised students and families from a diverse set of backgrounds to reach their educational goals both academically and financially. More importantly, the ITS family has come to understand that there isn’t just one way to help a student succeed - that each student and family really does have their own set of unique needs. This is where the ITS philosophy has grown the most - How we understand that each student is different in their own way and that there isn’t one method or process that works best. Instead, we have learned that a personal and personalized approach is where the greatest returns have been realized.
Personalized Approach
Whether a student is from a public or private school, charter school or preparatory school - ITS makes the extra effort to learn as much as possible about each student. Starting as early as middle school, we purposefully find ways to learn more about who they are and where their passions and dreams come from. At the same time, ITS takes the time to learn more about their families and their history - who the positive influencers have been and who has a vested interest in the success of the student. ITS sincerely believes it takes more than one person to help in this success. We also are a firm believer that each student’s educational aspirations and life goals are equally important.
Community Outreach
Through our years of experience and access to a wide network of expert consultants and educators we have developed this individualized approach and methodology. We hope to share more about what we do with the communities we are a part of. We are constantly looking for ways to extend our reach to those underserved communities and school districts that need our help - communities that don’t ordinarily have the resources necessary to meet the needs of a deserving population of students and families. We hope to use our platform to foster these relationships with educators and local governments for the benefit of all students.
ITS looks forward to being an active partner in your student’s educational journey. We understand that the future is in the hands and minds of this next generation of young adults. We believe that each and every student deserves the same opportunities to determine their own path to college and beyond. Most importantly, our Team at ITS believes in the Greek term “In•Terra•Somnia” translated as “In The Land of Dreams”. Because in the Land of Dreams, we believe that anything is possible.
