Comprehensive Service
We work with students and guide them through the entire college application process. From the initial planning to the final decision, all consultations are included.
(does not include ACT/SAT preparation)
College Advising
During this consult, we meet with students and their parents to learn about student’s interests, grades, courses, extracurriculars, and any additional information to understand what they hope to gain through the college process. We develop a plan of action to give students the best possible opportunity to gain acceptance at his/her first-choice schools. Follow-up meetings can be scheduled on an ongoing basis.
Personalized College List
After our comprehensive evaluation of student information, we create a personalized list of schools. These lists are based on student’s interests, academic standing, and test scores. Additionally, the list will be revisited as more progress has been made with academic classes, extracurriculars, and college visits.
Common Application, Essay, Supplements, and Resume

We work with students to generate topics for their essays and supplements to convey their stories in a compelling way. Throughout their writing, attention is focused on maintaining a student’s voice. Revisions will be offered until the essay and supplements are complete. In addition, resume writing includes helping students identify and build a resume that clearly states their experience and skills.
College Test Preparation
We review the ACT/SAT test format, teach test-taking strategies, and target specific areas where students can make improvements. Assigned practice problems are provided to reinforce skills. Additionally, we encourage students to take practice tests to evaluate progress.
Interview Coaching
The goal is to help the student articulate why they are interested in the colleges they select and what academic areas and other programs they are interested in pursuing at the college. Additionally, students may at times be asked questions to catch them off guard, so we rehearse responses to give students an opportunity to formulate a thoughtful response.
Transfer Application
We guide students as they explore different college options. We help students position themselves to be a strong transfer applicant and ensure all aspects of the transfer process are complete.
Athletic Advising Process and Strategy
We work with students and families to understand the recruitment process and to gain the knowledge and resources to become a recruited college athlete. We advise students in the following areas: identifying colleges and universities that are the right match for the student athlete’s academic needs; advise students with what advice coaches look for in their athletes; provide guidance on how to communicate with coaches; help increase player exposure and create a player profile.
