COLLEGE

The process of applying to college is different for every student. It comes at a time when students are discovering their interests and passions and deciding how they want to shape the next phase of their lives. We get to know our students and families well and provide support throughout the college admissions process. We offer guidance based on each family's needs, from targeted guidance at specific points in the process to comprehensive, start-to-finish support. Our goal is to take unnecessary stress out of the process and make it a journey of self-discovery for each student. 

• Our initial consultation with students and families helps to identify goals and to determine a college application plan
• We spend time getting to know each student, reviewing school reports and testing records, creating a resume, and doing other pre-application work to get ready for the application process
• We work with students on essay writing, from the Common App personal statement to the UC Personal Insight Questions to the supplemental essays for each school
• We provide advice on how to research schools and determine which are a good fit, and we help students put together a college list that is in line with their interests and goals
• We help to keep students and families organized, and we create a timeline so that applications are finished well before deadlines
• We assist with interview prep where necessary
• Generally, we provide assistance at every step along the way
