A comprehensive approach to college advising.
Our services
Standardized test preparation
Customized instruction and coaching from teachers who aced the ACT and SAT. We’ll review the most commonly tested topics, learn testing tips and time management strategies, and give you plenty of practice so that you’re confident on test day. We’ll also help you navigate the new world of test-optional admissions to help you determine which test to take and which scores to report.
Application and essay
preparation
Should you use each school’s application, the Common App, or the Coalition App? Early decision, early action, or regular decision? We’ll help you expertly navigate the process, meet all the relevant deadlines, and make sure your application showcases your best qualities that will enhance a college’s community. We’ll work with you to develop essays that authentically communicate your unique voice, and we’ll even help you find opportunities to apply to schools for free!
College selection
and match
College isn’t just school — it’s where you live, study, play, and discover your interests and passions. We help you understand that their options may be broader than they realize, and with our guidance students identify a list of potential schools that could provide good fits. We also provide tips about how to find out what life at a school is really like so that you can make as informed of a decision as possible.
Financial aid
counseling
Don’t let sticker shock keep you from discovering a great fit for your college education — colleges want to make their education affordable and attainable for all students! We’re here to help you understand the financial aid process and maximize the value of the aid you receive. We’ll help keep you on track by guiding you through the steps of the FAFSA and CSS Profile, and we’ll sit down with you and your family to evaluate each college’s financial aid offer.
