We offer tailored admissions coaching: one-on-one calls, essay editing, timelines, summer planning, and interview prep. All designed to guide families through every step of the college admission process.
Application Year Consulting
A comprehensive offering for seniors to strategically put together the strongest application.
By selecting this package, we will work on each section of the application to really help your profile shine for success. We will strategize about the application rounds, school list, and narrative.
Through a series of meetings, workshops, and asynchronous editing sessions, this package is a full wraparound support of the college application process.
01
Regularly Scheduled Meetings
We will meet regularly to make sure your application is where you want it to be by the time you click submit. We typically meet monthly beginning in June before your senior year, and jump to weekly by the time we hit August.
03
Available Support
By selecting this package, I'm available via text and email with rapid response times to answer questions.
02
Workshops
I host workshops and provide materials to help you get going on each section of the application. By the time the application opens, you'll be ready to go!
04
Comprehensive Review
Once your application is complete, I will go through as if I was reading your application and provide a detailed written review of the file.
À la carte Application Reviews
Full written evaluation of an application with actionable items to improve before submission.
Each review includes one Common Application (or UC/MIT/Georgetown) and one set of supplemental essays.
Additional supplemental reviews are available for an additional fee.
01
Full Core Application Review
Almost ready to press 'submit', but want a set of expert eyes to give feedback? I'll take a close look, as if I was an application reader, at each section of the application and provide detailed feedback.
02
Supplemental Application Review
Supplemental applications for each school can be a great place to help your application stand out in the pool. The nuances of each question require just as much thought as the full application.
9 to 11th Grade Consulting
Starting early can help you be as prepared as possible for each step of the application process.
By selecting this package, you guarantee a spot when you are in your application year and you'll have done everything you can to put together the strongest application.
01
Class Selection
Your application will always be reviewed in the context of your school and the opportunities available to you. We will meet to select the courses that put together the strongest profile for you.
03
Summer Activities
The summers between each year of high school can be used to strengthen your academic and extracurricular profiles. It's also a great time to reset and prepare for the academic year ahead. We'll discuss ways to maxmize your time to strengthen your profile.
02
Extracurricular Support
Your extracurriculars tell a lot about you and who you are outside the classroom. It's important to select the activities that you want to do, but also important that they work together to paint a clear picture of who you might be on a college campus.
Hourly Meetings
Call an Expert
Don't want to commit to a full package, but still want to talk with an expert? I provide hourly meetings, where I can review applications in real time, answer your questions on college admission essays, provide insight to your profile, and talk through your school list.
