The college application process requires numerous meetings. In the beginning, our counselors will discuss your academic portfolio to get to know you. As deadlines approach, we will meet more frequently to ensure consistency and accuracy in every step.

Once our counselors get to know your preferences–location, majors, school size, lifestyle–they help you create a varied list of schools that meet your goals and potential. Also, goals change during the process, so your list may change too.

Some students wish to work on their own. We encourage this as it allows them to own the process of building their portfolio and making important life choices. At the same time, we always include parents in our communication. Some parents wish to know all details along the way while others give their child the freedom to learn on their own. We can customize the communication and reporting process to fit your family’s needs.

Our counselors can begin working with you as early as you’d like as there is always something you can do. During freshman year, you can choose classes that might interest you and begin establishing your academic portfolio. In sophomore year, you can enhance your community involvement. With junior year comes college essays and deep dives into the subjects or activities you like best. As a senior, we help you meet deadlines, fine tune your college essays, and prepare for graduation.
