Personalized Admissions Roadmaps

We combine time-tested trajectories with our bespoke service model to help our students and their families carve out unique admissions pathways that are backed by expert guidance—so your child gains admission to their dream schools, where they can truly thrive.

Initial exploratory meeting

The first step—establishing a set of goals that are flexible to change while concentrated upon your family’s highest goals.

Ongoing prep & assessment

Test preparation and developing a college list are pathways that are intertwined and grow together. Score increases bring new colleges into the fold, and newly considered colleges can conversely push upon existing score targets.

Application, prep & tours

In the latter stages of prep, college lists and score targets jointly narrow, and efforts become focused around gathering information on, and applying successfully to, the top colleges on a family’s list.

Deciding & responding to offers

Cue the confetti showers. The time has come to reap the rewards of your high school career and all your admissions prep. We’re here to help you and your family weigh offers and make the big decision.

Assuring readiness

You’ve made it to your dream school, now make sure you’re ready to hit the ground running and truly get the most out of your college experience. Through a combination of in-house college readiness coaching and connecting you with the right pre-college programs suited to your major, we’ll have you ready to go.
