My all-inclusive, holistic College Admissions service is tailored to meet your specific needs. And I consciously limit the number of families I work with so you can always feel free to call, email, or text as any questions - big or little - arise.
The college admissions process should be exciting - a moment of introspection with an eye towards a future brimming with possibility and potential. Of course, if you ask the average teenager or parent, the first word that typically comes to mind is stressful. But it doesn't have to be. I've spent the past 20 years helping hundreds of families to navigate this transition with ease. My goal is to empower college applicants to recognize their strengths, find their unique voice, and embrace happiness as a fundamental criteria in plotting out the next four years of their lives.
During the early years of high school, I typically meet with families 1-3 times per year to discuss broader strategic planning including academic courses, potential extracurricular opportunities, summer programs, passion projects, research, internships, etc. Big picture, we'll shape your academic profile and plan out meaningful experiences, setting you up to tell the story of how the work you've done has impacted your life, your community, and your future goals.
We'll start early, laying the foundations for the college application process and developing a clear plan for the rest of the year.
It's time to start thinking about who you are as a student, a college applicant, and a human. Over the next six months, I'll help you figure out what you might want to study in college, where you might hope to study it, and, most importantly, why. Together, we'll work on:
This is it! Starting in July, as applications go live and things get real, we'll build on the work we've done to stay calm and ahead of the game. Over the next few months, I'll manage your entire process, tracking deadlines and to-do's and providing support, mentorship, and encouragement for the whole family, every step of the way. Together, we'll execute a comprehensive, individualized plan to make sure everything gets done on time and nothing gets missed. I'll be there to:
You'll have full access to a personalized, tech-driven dashboard that lays out:
A calendar of all application deadlines and to-dos.
Personal statements & UC personal insight questions, all school-specific supplements, optional and special program essay supplements, audition & portfolio requirements (if necessary).
Interviews, school visits, school tours, contact with admissions reps.
Every high school senior is more complex and interesting than a GPA, a test score, and a checklist of accomplishments. Like you, your well-crafted college application should be three dimensional, showcasing your humanity, your aspirations, and your potential. I'm excited to have the chance to help you bring that to life.
