Choose the level of support that fits your family
Four packages, from free self-guided tools to monthly one-on-one guidance. Every family starts with a free 30-minute conversation to find the right fit.
One hour. Two counselors. Here's what got done.
A real first session from this fall, with a senior applying to engineering programs.
Jackie: The Essays
- 1 Common App personal essay, edited to submission-ready
- 3 supplemental essays (200 to 500 words each), edited to submission-ready
- Student made every revision during the session, not homework after
- Replaced summary sentences with specific scenes and details
- Narrowed each essay to a single, clear theme
Spencer: The Application
- Common App errors fixed
- Honors section rebuilt
- Test-score strategy, school by school
- Entry terms and plans confirmed
- Resume completely rewritten
- National scholarship app reviewed
- Two more scholarships nearly finished
Every student arrives with different materials, so every session looks a little different. This is one real example, not a guarantee.
