Our Process


Our professional staff guides you through each step of the college admissions process, ensuring every application tells your individual story and maximizes your chances for acceptance. We are here to help you reach your goals and achieve college admissions success.


Establishing Goals

 

Our staff works with you to establish grade goals, set test score goals, and select courses during your high school years.  We also will work on your goals for career and college selection.

 
Making the List
Together, we create a personalized list of colleges from "reach schools" to "safety schools" that are the right fit for your needs, interests, and qualifications.
 
Organization
Receive assistance to set a manageable schedule ensuring that you set aside time to visit the colleges you can and meet all application deadlines. Our team will develop a flexible timeline that will accommodate  and measure your progress.  Our goal is to give you a place for all of your documents and information and easy access to templates, samples and resources.
 
Presenting Yourself
Colleges are evaluating far more than just grades and test scores. We work with you to highlight your assets and individuality, so the admissions committee will remember your application.  Remember your board scores, GPA and transcripts are only the "paper you", you need to also show your soul....the "real you".
 
Essays
A college essay needs to be more than a great piece of writing. You will learn how to communicate your strengths and accentuate your individual personality and knowledge in order to leave a significant impression on an admissions officer.
 
Interviews
We will prepare you with a better understanding of interview questions so that you will learn to respond appropriately to highlight your strengths.
 
Recommendations
Learn how to select teachers and counselors to write letters of recommendation. We will also help you create a follow-up schedule to ensure they are received by the appropriate deadline.
 
Continuous Support
Even outside of your scheduled in-person meetings, you receive on-going support via the telephone and email until your acceptances arrive in the mail. Our staff are the experts you contact when questions arise.
