Because we know that not every students' needs are the same, we have two "basics" plans covering different elements of the college admissions process:

​

The Basics 1: The College List

This plan is for those students who aren't quite sure what colleges they want to apply to. After the Initial Consultation, we work with students to compile an individualized, balanced list of colleges that will be a good fit for who they are.

​

The Basics 2: Essay Coaching

This plan is for those students who are looking for guidance on application essays. We start with brainstorming exercises that help students to identify topics that resonate with them. Through the writing process,  we help students to craft essays that feature their unique voices. Through editing and ongoing suggestions, we help students hone their work until they have a final product that they will feel proud to submit to the colleges of their choice.

The name says it all - this plan covers more than we have space to detail! Here is a summary:

• Recommendations for  student activities and classes
