College admissions consulting done differently
Our service is unique because we are entirely holistic. 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…with integrity and an original voice. This approach has ensured that our students not only have incredible success in the application process but that they also end up at the schools that are truly right for them.
Here’s an overview of what I accomplish with my clients in the stages of college admissions consulting:
9th-11th grade:
When parents bring me on to work with their 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.

Student Profile Strategy Session
(Done anywhere from 9th – 12th grade)
For each of my clients, I do a Student Profile Strategy Session during which we discuss the landscape of the process as it relates to the individual student. This includes but is not limited to:
-Academic history & profile
-Student’s interests & passions
-How the student/family envisions the college experience
-Whether the student has an idea about small/large/rural/urban universities
-Testing
-Summer plans
-Tours
-Recommendations
We cover a lot of territory in about 90 minutes, after which we come up with a preliminary list of schools for the student to research and begin crafting the through line of the student’s application (their “story” based on their interests and profile). In addition, we’ll discuss plans for test prep and when/if the student will be taking his first round of SATs or ACTs.
