The Difference
If you have a child entering the world of college admissions, there can be many questions, thousands of turns, and multiple decisions to make. We take on a small cohort of students each year and work one-on-one with students while maintaining communication with parents/guardians all to encourage a space that will allow the student to ultimately thrive – on and off the college application.
Meetings are mapped out, goals are made, and dreams are created. Whether there are dreams for the UC system, international institutions, highly selective, private, or out-of-state, we carefully work with each student beginning with self-exploration and identifying strengths and unique characteristics, while exploring and building a list of colleges that fit best (academically, socially, and financially).
From there, the application process begins. Organizing and managing deadlines, carefully developing and crafting college essays, and all of the extras that make a real difference. Reach out below for a free 30 minute consultation to learn more.
