What We'll Accomplish
Identifying and learning about colleges and universities that fit.
Learning how to make the most of a college visit and shine in the college interview when it is available.
Building a final college list that features both risk and safety, in a balance that is appropriate to him or her.
Making sure his or her standardized testing plan is sound.
Choosing the best strategy among application plans, including thoughtful consideration of early decision and early action options.
Completing the college application in a way that highlights his or her best qualities and true potential.
Brainstorming for and writing compelling application essays. There will be lots of drafts!
And, perhaps most exciting, making a final choice among offers of admission!
If we start early, I also can offer advice about curricular choices and extracurricular and community involvement.
Let’s talk about your specific needs and determine a plan. We can begin as early as your sophomore year.

Calming kids down
Motivating kids who are too calm
Calming parents down (yes, I say that twice)
