College Admissions Consulting

Why College Admissions Consulting is for You!

The college admissions process can feel overwhelming; there are so many conflicting messages out there and the last thing you want to do is go about things the wrong way.

We look at the whole student – taking into account all of the aspects that contribute to their story. From the student’s academic profile to their extra curricular activities, hobbies, cultural backgrounds, and everything in between – we want our students to show admissions offices who they truly are.

Here’s an overview of what we accomplish with clients in the various stages of their journeys: 

9th-11th grade:

When we work with your students from 9th-11th grade, we focus on preparing them to have a high school career that is strategic and conducive to getting into their desired schools. We will work on selecting courses, resume-building, strategizing how to approach the SAT/ACT, creating a college list, scheduling college visits, and overall, crafting a compelling and engaging profile.

12th grade: 

Once students are in twelfth grade, we’ll continue to hone the college list and strategize deadlines as we focus on the applications themselves – from essay writing to resumes and last minute tours.
