We believe college counseling involves two distinct steps: the Selection Process and Application Process.

Selection Process

During this process we get to know the student and select colleges where the student would be most satisfied. We pay particular attention to a student’s unique talents or special needs.

  • Evaluate student’s personal achievements, academic record, extracurricular activities, and personal interests
  • Offer specific suggestions and strategies to strengthen student’s academic and extracurricular profile
    • Assist with curriculum and extracurricular planning
    • Help plan types and dates for standardized testing (SAT, ACT, AP and Subject Tests)
    • Brainstorm summer activities
  • Create a thoughtful list of college choices with a range of school choices

Application Process

We assist students in preparing college applications that best showcase their interests and talents

  • Teach students how to emphasize assets in activity section
  • Utilize innovative and collaborative approaches to brainstorming essay subject matter and structure for main essay and various supplemental essays
  • Advise on securing recommendations
  • Expertly address unique learning circumstances, such as learning differences, and special talents, such as arts (art, architecture, film, music, theater, etc.) and athletics
  • Tailor process to each student’s needs
    • Create application timeline
    • Address early action/early decision choices
    • Campus visit information
    • Merit scholarship information
    • Arts and athletic supplements, portfolios, and auditions
    • Interview guidance

We are flexible and will work with the student and his/her parents in-person or by phone, FaceTime, Skype, or email. All students commence our process with an initial consultation and then are billed hourly for subsequent meetings and editing fees.
