We assist students and families at every step of their college application journey. We are here to support and guide you as you navigate this path. Whether it’s planning your college experience from the early stages of your high school career or assisting with some last minute decisions senior year, we are happy to help!

Most of our students benefit from our private 1:1 Partnered Path to College program, enrolling late in sophomore year or early in junior year. Our goal is to have students engaged throughout their junior year so that they can hit the ground running as soon as the application process begins, complete with college selection, application planning, goal assessment, a polished essay and a clear process and timeline outlined.

Some students find themselves late in junior year or early senior year, having started the process, overwhelmed and needing help. We offer several solutions from private guidance to summer support.

For Sophomores & Juniors

One-to-One Private College Advising

This path is ideal for students who excel in one on one coaching and desire a customized path and personalized support.

Our comprehensive, fully private Partnered Path to College Program offers guidance and instruction through every step of high school and is designed for students who plan to apply to selective colleges and universities. This completely individualized program with unlimited access to your advisor provides direction on course selection, extra-curricular planning for application building, college list development, standardized test-taking guidance, and application support including essay instruction, writing, and review.

Family Strategy Package

Our Family Strategy Package was principally designed for busy students and families who need help curating a thoughtful, comprehensive college list that carefully considers academic fit, social fit, and financial fit. 

Our Family Strategy Package includes two virtual meetings with your advisor (a 90-minute first meeting and a 30-minute follow-up meeting) separated by a period of intensive, personalized research that is done for you by your advisor, according to your specifications and needs. Full detail of this process is included below.

90-Minute First Meeting

Our work begins with a virtual session designed to help your student set goals and priorities for the college application journey. Our goal will be to get a complete picture of your needs and goals, so that we can tailor a full college list to your individual needs. During this 90-minute meeting, we will also explore and make recommendations for the student’s:

• Academic and extracurricular profile
• Standardized test scores and testing plan
• Career interests and possible college majors
• Initial college list and application timeline

Fully-Customized Advisor Research Period

Following this meeting, your advisor will carefully research and analyze potential college fits based on your profile and your desired criteria. We typically spend a minimum of three hours behind the scenes, essentially serving as your private research team to find you the best possible college options, and we take tremendous pride in our customized college lists.

In addition to college list building, your advisor will also take time to identify core tasks to be completed by the student and will help build an Action Plan for getting that work done (while keeping stress at a minimum!). The Action Plan will contain step-by-step guidance for tackling the tasks and a timeline through December 2025, as well as links to essential documents and forms.

30-Minute Follow-Up Meeting

Following the family meeting, students book an additional 30-minute meeting to work on the task that is the biggest priority for them:

• Further building out of the college list to include admissibility
• Essay theme development
• Common Application activities section

All families will also have access to our resource packet which provides a host of materials for identifying college values and building a list, financial aid estimating and essential forms and “how-tos”, essay writing, college admissions office expectations and more!

For Freshmen

Early College Planning

Laying the foundation and planning a roadmap can be critical to getting into the college of your choice. Some of our students come to us with specific careers in mind and want to make sure they are on the right track to achieving those goals. Other students want a head start on learning about their options and creating a rough plan. We can help with all of that and anything in between!

Early College Planning is ideal for younger students looking to build their college admissions knowledge. These hourly counseling sessions provide an opportunity to discuss application-building strategies, such as course selection, extracurricular development, and preparation for standardized testing and create a roadmap for success.
