OUR APPROACH TO COLLEGE PLANNING

​
​We love working with teens (and have raised several of our own). 

Our role as private college consultants is to guide students and families through the maze of college admissions. In equal parts, we are coaches, counselors, advisors, managers, information resources, and expert strategists. We are your up-to-date source for the ever-evolving field of college admissions.  
 

Our approach is tailored to each student's interests, strengths, goals, and preferences. We offer a range of college counseling services depending on your needs. We can work together on specific tasks or the full spectrum of college planning activities. 

We have successfully guided a wide range of students, including Ivy League applicants and kids with learning challenges; performing artists and athletes; future educators, doctors, nurses, lawmakers, business leaders, filmmakers, scientists, engineers, and more. Every student receives customized and in-depth support, guidance, and advice. 

Our work encompasses creativity, sensitivity, and humor. We also believe strongly in schedules, organization, and early preparation.  

While we love working with students face-to-face, we are currently offering all services virtually through a combination of text, email, chat, and Zoom.​

FINDING THE RIGHT MATCH

There are wonderful colleges for every student, no matter their
​academic strengths, interests, priorities, and future goals. Our job is to tell families what guide books and websites don't, find unique programs and opportunities, and help students identify "best fit" schools they are truly excited about.  


ESSAYS AND APPLICATIONS

Our students write genuine,
beautifully crafted essays that
enhance their applications and showcase their best qualities. We discuss
strategies for standardized tests,
campus visits, interviews, and demonstrating interest ​in each
​college, and ensure that each application is authentically crafted.  


STAYING SANE

Applying to college can cause anxiety for students and families. It helps to have a neutral party on the team - people who know the process and provide expert guidance. We keep students organized and moving forward, reduce stress through humor and a long-term perspective, and make the best use of everyone's time.
