Ways to Work with Us

Starting in 12th Grade

College List

For families of 11th or 12th graders who would like a one-time consultation, the 90-minute College List session provides a preliminary list of colleges and general orientation to admissions strategy and timeline. Additional discussion topics can include, when relevant, 12th grade course selections, extracurricular and summer activities planning, standardized testing, letters of recommendation, campus visits, and demonstrated interest.

  • Before the session, families will complete background questionnaires and provide a copy of a high school transcript.

  • We will follow up with meeting notes and a tailored list of colleges across a range of selectivity levels based on the student’s profile and priorities.

  • While the college list is fluid and will change as the student researches and visits colleges and earns new grades and test scores, this session will provide a solid foundation for a successful college search.

Senior Strategy

The Senior Strategy session is a 60-minute consultation for families of 12th graders who would like to shore up an existing college list and application strategy.

  • Before the session, families will complete background questionnaires and provide the student’s high school transcript, as well as a list of the colleges that the student has and/or will apply to.

  • There are a range of topics that current seniors may wish to discuss with us, including their college lists, choice of deadlines, and how to best present themselves in their applications.
