East Coast Admissions Is First to Offer Self-Checkout Site
A First in the College Counseling Industry
East Coast Admissions has officially launched the nation’s first self-checkout enrollment platform for comprehensive college-admissions counseling.
Families can now review programs, choose the service level that fits their student’s goals, and enroll instantly, with no discovery call required.
This milestone represents a major step toward transparency and accessibility in an industry that has traditionally required multiple phone calls, consultations, and opaque pricing before a student could even begin.
“Parents are busy, and serious families already know what they want,” says Cleopatra Kotey, Founder of East Coast Admissions. “We wanted to remove friction, publish clear pricing, and give families the ability to start guidance the same day they’re ready.”
Why We Built It
For years, admissions consulting has operated behind closed doors, pricing hidden, timelines unclear, and students forced to wait for a “free consultation” that often feels more like a sales pitch.
East Coast Admissions decided to do things differently.
Transparency: All package details and pricing are visible up front.
Speed: Enrollment takes minutes, not days.
Accountability: Every package comes with defined deliverables and results tracking.
Access: Families nationwide can work with former college-admissions officers without scheduling barriers.
This model mirrors how modern families already make high-trust purchases: clear information, secure checkout, and immediate confirmation.
What It Means for Families
With self-checkout enrollment, families can:
Browse programs and compare options directly on the website.
Complete payment through Shopify’s secure system.
Receive an instant welcome email and onboarding instructions.
Begin working with their counselor within 24 hours.
It’s college counseling made modern, efficient, credible, and built around student readiness rather than sales cycles.
Setting a New Standard
East Coast Admissions believes this move will set a new precedent for transparency across the counseling landscape.
“We hope competitors follow our lead,” adds Cleopatra Kotey. “Families deserve clarity and confidence from day one.”
The company continues to expand its mission through the East Coast Admissions Scholars Award, The College Compass, a monthly magazine, and the East Coast Admissions podcast, all designed to democratize high-quality admissions guidance.
