Personalized Application Counseling
Our team of experienced, passionate and knowledgeable
admissions experts are here to help showcase
the applicant’s passions, goals, and aspirations
We aim to make the pathway to admissions and college easier by roadmapping a path forward, establishing a comprehensive college list that fits the student, and approaching essays efficiently to best utilize the student’s limited time. We are with you from start to finish, and we hope to guide both the student and parents through this stressful chapter in their lives. We limit ourselves to a few students per counselor each year because we pride ourselves on quality and aim to help our students get into their highest reaches!
What We Offer
We guide the younger ones with course selection and polishing their applications/essays for summer programs and internships. For seniors, we help narrow down/ expand college lists, brainstorm essay topics, edit essays, expand upon extracurricular activities descriptions, and write continued interests/waitlist appeal letters.
History
We’ve done college counseling since we started tutoring hundreds of students. We’ve been there for our students from the beginning to the end of the entire college application process, and all of our past students say that they couldn’t have gone through their application process without us.
