Our educational advisors work with students and families applying to boarding and independent schools, undergraduate colleges and universities, transfer, and various graduate school admissions.
Here is the list of services for college and university admission advising:
STUDENT ASSESSMENT
We will get to know you, we will learn about your passions, motivations and aspirations, and advise you on course and activity selection.
CREATING THE LIST
We will work with you on selecting appropriate schools given your needs, aspirations and qualifications.
STRATEGY AND ORGANIZATION
We will help you organize the complex pieces that comprise the application process and think about strategies that will maximize your chances at the schools to which you’ve applied.
STANDARDIZED TESTS
We can help you plan and prepare for standardized testing, recommend tutoring as needed, and help you understand and evaluate your test results.
ESSAYS
We can help you articulate and express yourself in your essays, providing admission offices with accurate and compelling insights into who you really are.
INTERVIEWS AND VISITS
We will help you prepare and set expectations for your visits and interviews, either virtually or on campus.
RECOMMENDATIONS
We will advise you on the selection of teacher recommendations and also assist you in thinking about additional recommendations and/or contacts.

DECIDING WHERE TO ATTEND

In addition to our comprehensive services listed above, we also offer:
RoadMap. Our distinctive introductory 90-minute session includes a full assessment of the student and a complete discussion of the current admissions landscape and what colleges and universities expect from students who apply. The RoadMap serves as the initial meeting for our comprehensive service, but is also offered as a stand alone opportunity for families who seek an independent opinion or who need a jumpstart as they navigate the college admission process.
Essay-Only. This service assists students in their essay-writing process (brainstorming ideas, outlining, drafting, editing) including the personal essay for all U.S. college and university applications and any applicable supplemental essays. We can also assist with UCAS personal statements and as appropriate, boarding school essays. As the name implies, the Essay-Only service is focused solely on this dynamic and important application element. It does not include any strategic or tactical guidance relating to the admissions process.
