College admissions
A considered strategy.
A cohesive application.
Work with your advisor on your college list, essays, and applications over an agreed schedule. For students who want ongoing support, including through Regular Decision deadlines.
Who it’s for
Several applications.
One plan for the work.
You may be starting your college list, preparing for Regular Decision, or planning applications across both early and regular rounds.
We help you organize the decisions and writing ahead. Your program is built around the schools and deadlines we agree to cover, with time for you to develop ideas and revise between meetings.
Areas of support
From choosing schools
to submitting your work.
College list and timeline
Discuss your interests, academic record, and preferences. Review your college choices and organize the application deadlines and tasks.
Personal statement and supplements
Choose essay topics, develop drafts, and revise with written feedback. The schools and revision schedule are agreed before work begins.
Activities and application details
Review how you describe your activities, work, responsibilities, and awards. Check the application for clarity and accuracy.
Interview preparation
Practice talking about your experiences and academic interests, and preparing questions about the colleges you’re considering.
Final review
Read the agreed applications in full before submission and identify any remaining changes for you to make.
Getting started
Agree on the details
before you begin.
During your consultation, tell us where you’re applying and what you’ve already completed. We’ll discuss which parts of the process need support.
Before you commit, we confirm the schools and application rounds included, the meeting and feedback schedule, and the fee. Support for additional schools or later rounds is discussed separately if it falls outside that scope.
