Applying to college is one BIG project. Fortunately, we are experts at college admissions AND project management so we’ve got the knowledge and tools to manage application requirements, hit deadlines, and time it so students are not overwhelmed or rushed. Each comprehensive package student also has an online portal to manage the applications and communicate with their counselor. We provide specific advice on this and much more:

• Which college application deadline to use
• Which colleges track demonstrated interest and how to show it
• Whether or not to apply to college test optional
• The Common App essay from idea generation to final draft
• Supplemental essays and application materials
• College financial-aid considerations

The transformation in the student’s junior year is remarkable with this program. We start the junior year as a family investigating college options, and end the year with independent young adults ready to self-advocate and take on the college admissions process with the counselor and parents in a supporting role. We provide:

• A detailed timeline/plan for junior and senior year application related activities
• In-depth discussions about factors that are important when selecting a college
• Advising on a standardized test plan based on the student’s goals
• A customly curated prospective college list report with detailed stats on each college and an outline of the potential majors and programs for each college
• Preparation of college application supplemental materials such as activities lists and resumes to minimize time pressures later.

Creating a stand-out college application start early in high school. We introduce the world of college admissions, what colleges are looking for in an applicant and the latest trends. Additional emphasis is placed on self-exploration. The best college applicants demonstrate that they have developed a self-identity. We help students create a path to self awareness.

• Personality and skill assessments
• Career exploration
• High school course advising
• Extra-curricular activities discussions
• Summer enrichment and other opportunities to learn more about themselves and who they want to become.
