• An initial meeting of approximately one hour to discuss educational history, goals, and current needs

• A freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior year planning session with parent and student. We send follow-up notes and specific suggestions following each session
• Four additional check-in meetings as needed during high school to fine-tune suggestions or make changes

• Review of all student documents to help determine the best college fit

• Up to 5 hours of additional live meetings to discuss college list, applications, interviews, or essays
• Guidance and reminders of deadlines and suggestions of how to connect with colleges
• Support with final college choices

• College search support and research geared toward the parents’ needs, including basic guidance about financial aid and merit aid
• Support helping parents and students to create a complete package that works together to showcase the student
• Support creating the following documents, which include document creation, review, editing, and discussion of how to best present the student:
  • Student transcript

  • School profile
  • Counselor letter
  • Midyear report
• Guidance and reminders of deadlines
• Up to 2 additional meetings to discuss the parent counselor role and review documents, college choices, or practically walkthrough document submission or questions

Ideally, we start working with families in May/June prior to freshman year, so we have time to create an effective freshman year plan. We divide our package into four payments, with the first payment due before the initial meeting, the second payment due in March 2023, the third payment due in March 2024, and the final payment due in March 2025. 

We’d love to support you and your student!
