We offer strategic advice on how to fit your student's accomplishments, interests, and activities into their college application to help fit all the puzzle pieces of their high school life together.  This helps their application better reflect who they really are! 

It's simple-everyone is busy!  To do it right, the college application process takes a considerable amount of time.  College counselors at private, public, and charter high schools are understandably exceptionally busy during each year's application cycle. Families are also busy--and often stressed-during the process as well.  We take the time to get to know your student, their stories, and their interests so they can better incorporate into their college applications what makes them unique. 

From our initial consultation to however many follow up appointments you and your student require, we get to know your student's story.  We ask questions about their accomplishments, activities, classes, experiences, future plans, and interests.  We then help them determine how to fit all these puzzle pieces into their college application so schools can see the full picture of who they are! 

We have over 15 years experience helping students succeed in school and in their college application processes. In addition, we hold degrees from the University of Notre Dame, Vanderbilt University, and Thunderbird so we understand the effort that is required for a good application--and the stress that it sometimes can bring.
