Phase 1 - Foundation

Spring of junior year

This is where we slow down to get it right. Before a single application is touched, we build the strategic foundation that everything else rests on.

🌿 Individualized College List A thoughtfully researched, balanced list of schools built around your child's strengths, values, learning style, and vision for their college experience.

🗓️ Personalized Application Timeline A clear, custom roadmap so your family always knows what's coming next. No more guessing. No more waking up at 2am wondering if you're behind.

📊 SAT/ACT Strategic Advisement Expert guidance on testing strategy - whether to test, which test, how many times, and when to stop. This is strategic decision-making, not tutoring.

🎯 Extracurricular & Summer Program Guidance Strategic, authentic guidance on how your child spends their time - in ways that genuinely reflect who they are and position them well for the application ahead.

🏫 College Touring Guidance How to tour colleges with intention, including what to look for, what to ask, how to evaluate fit, and how to know when a school feels genuinely right.

📄 Resume Development A polished, strategic resume that frames your child's experiences with context, meaning, and narrative.

Phase 2 - Creation

Summer before senior year

This is where your child's story comes to life. With the foundation in place, we turn our full attention to crafting an application that is strategic, authentic, and completely theirs.

✍️ Personal Statement Development & Refinement Your child's voice, elevated. We work together to uncover the story only they can tell, including brainstorming, developing, and refining their personal statement from first idea to final draft.

📝 Common App Completion Full, expert guidance through every section of the Common Application, from activities and honors to the details that complete the picture of who your child really is.

🎤 Interview Preparation Confidence-building preparation so your child walks into every college interview feeling grounded, articulate, and ready to tell their story.

Phase 3 - Execution 

Senior year - fall through decision day

This is where everything comes together. With a strong foundation and a compelling application, we move into execution mode - strategic, calm, and fully supported.

📬 Supplemental Essay Support Expert guidance on every supplemental essay: the "why us" essays, the short answers, the additional information sections. Each one strategically crafted to add dimension to your child's application without repeating what's already been said.

✅ Application Submission Support Full support through the submission process - reviewing every application before it goes out, catching errors, ensuring consistency, and making sure nothing is left on the table.

📞 Ongoing Strategy Calls & Check-ins Regular touchpoints throughout senior year so your family always feels supported, informed, and calm - through applications, decisions, waitlists, and everything in between.
