What We Offer

College Consultation

This one time consultation is designed for families who don’t know where to start with the college application process. In this 60-90 minute meeting, we will walk you through an overview of the admissions and financial process and review the general admissions timeline and goals. We can also use this time to answer any and all questions that you have. If you choose to move to a more comprehensive package, the cost of the consultation can be used toward that package price.

We will give you an overview of the general admissions timeline and goals and send you on your way to build your college list and apply to your dream schools.

Premium Package

This is our most frequently selected package, and our most hands-on level of service for sophomores and juniors where we are with you every step of the way from your first question until your move in day at college. This service allows us to explore every possible college option and to make sure we are not missing any admission or scholarship deadlines.
We get to know who you are using our parent questionnaire, student college preference indicator, Achieve Works Personality assessment, and in-person meetings, and provide a custom college list with up to 20 institutional profiles, hand-tailored to suit your personality and your brain. You will also have access to our Custom College Planner where you can review information about the schools on your list, and access files and information we share with you. We will give you an overview of the financial process and review our general admissions timeline and goals.

While you start to examine and explore the resources provided to you, we will begin meeting regularly one-on-one to discuss your thoughts and inclinations. We can also assist in planning college visits. We will review course-load, identify dates for standardized tests, help you construct your resume, begin the college essay-writing, with guidance and suggestions along the way. We work with you to help you keep track of application dates and deadlines, and answer questions as they pop up. We will also assist as you navigate FAFSA, scholarship applications, supplemental essays, and help you to prep for interviews.
