a wide range of college admissions fundamentals will be covered, such as:

  • Planning for course selection, extra-curricular activities, and testing – can begin just prior to 9th grade

  • Identifying the student-based narrative – this is the thread through college application pieces: specific recommendations for additional depth across those activities that align most with narrative, as well as with summer experiences and so on

  • Developing a college list based on both quant data and softer qualitative measures – with an appropriate range and fit. Equally important are methods to reveal the culture of each college.

  • Ideating on Common App essay topics and supplemental essays

  • suggesting essay edits

  • Building an organizational framework to manage college tour travel, evaluation of each visit and guidance on completing the Common App
