Our Services
Comprehensive Plan
The Comprehensive Plan starts with a meeting with the student and parents/guardians to understand their interests, goals, and plans for college. Together, we will construct a thorough college list, and I will provide advice on areas including high school courses, extracurricular activities, and standardized testing. The Comprehensive Plan includes all of the services listed under Individual Services.
Individual Services
With our Individual services, families can select one or more of the services that are right for their student. I am happy to consult with families on how to integrate the different individual services.
✓ Standardized Testing Schedule
It is important to create an individualized standardized testing schedule that meets the needs of each student. This service includes creating a schedule for ACT or SAT testing and AP Exams.
✓ College List
There are two key aspects to creating a complete college list, understanding the student’s goals and interests and knowledge of individual colleges. I work with students to uncover what they are looking for in their college experience and help them research schools to determine which schools meet their needs. Depending on when we begin our work, students will have a fairly complete college list by the summer after junior year or fall of senior year.
✓ College Visits and Research
For those families who already have a college list. I can help plan visits to campuses. If the research is done virtually, I can work with a student to help put together a schedule to research the different institutions and assist them in finding majors and ares of study that are of interest.
✓ Applications
When it comes time to do applications, the key to success is organization and time management. I work with students to set deadlines that work for them for completion of the Common Application, the Coalition Application, and supplemental essays. This service also includes help with the FAFSA and CSS Profile. This work should ideally begin the summer before senior year.
