Services

We generally work with families to provide an “all in” approach, where we help you through the entire process and get to know your student and family well.  We strictly limit the number of students we work with in each grade cohort, to make sure we give the personalized service to achieve great results.

Many of the students and families we work with have college in the back of their minds as they are laying a foundation for future success in 8th, 9th, and 10th grade.  This gives them time to fully explore and develop their interests and abilities.  Assessing your educational context and specific strengths, weaknesses and opportunities at this stage affords the flexibility to still impact most of what matters: course selection, standardized testing, outside of school pursuit of your passions, extracurricular activities, summer programs, competitions, etc.  Our services for these students are described here:  Grades 8-10.

As applications loom on the horizon during junior and senior years, students focus on gearing up for the application process, including: making effective college visits, preparing an appropriate college list, making wise early decision/action choices, selecting and effectively interacting with recommendation letter writers, managing time and stress, and making last minute changes to standardized testing, course selection, and activity plans.  Of course, we help clients with the actual applications as well, including helping students choose which aspects of themselves to highlight, how to concisely and compellingly communicate those aspects, specific essay brainstorming and editing, etc.  Our services for these students are listed here:  Grades 11-12

We help candidates with other essential elements of their candidacy, such as:
