College Consulting
We help students get into colleges that are the right fit, and we do so in a way that leaves them feeling more confident, enthusiastic, and ready for college than when they began.
While we’re at it, we give you tools to keep the whole family sane and supported throughout the process.
Our Three-Pronged Approach:
GROW THE INDIVIDUAL
We help your child identify personal interests & passions and guide them toward relevant courses, extracurricular activities, and colleges.
How our approach is different:
We don’t tell your child what will “look good” on college applications. We help your child make choices that are in line with who they are and who they want to become. That way, they emerge from the college process with greater maturity and a stronger sense of self, and they become stronger applicants who are able to choose & gain admission to colleges where they will thrive.
SHOWCASE THE APPLICANT
We help your child craft applications that showcase their unique gifts and tell a coherent and compelling story about who they are and what makes them an asset to each school.
How our approach is different:
We don’t ask students to market themselves like products. We help them paint polished self-portraits that are truly authentic and captivating. In the process, we help them get to know themselves more deeply, so they arrive at college ready to grow and be their fullest selves.
EASE THE PROCESS
We speak openly with you and your child about ways to minimize anxiety during the college process, and we facilitate any tough conversations or tensions that may come up within your family.
How our approach is different:
The college process can be a time of growth and discovery…and stress. We take care to address the emotional challenges that can come up during this time. When your child is less distracted by internal and external stressors, they’ll have more energy and focus to put toward being the strongest college applicant and future college student they can be.
College consulting is unique among our offerings in that we will be working primarily (though not exclusively) with your child, rather than directly with you. We invite your child to start working with us any time between 10th and 12th grade.
After a complimentary 15-minute consultation with you, we’ll create a personalized package that meets your family’s needs and helps turn your child’s college process into a positive experience with a positive outcome.
