Student Assessments
We believe every student and family has a unique situation and each college selection process is tailored to meet the individual needs of the student and their family. Our advisors spend time getting to know the student’s talents, skills, interests, and preferences.
During the Preliminary Assessment we review your student’s academics, athletic potentials, and extracurricular background; then equip your student with the tools to research schools and majors to formulate an initial college search plan with us.
Student Athletes
Learn what it takes to play at the next level. Our advisors will educate you and your student athlete about playing a varsity sport at the collegiate level. Whether it's NCAA (Division I, II, or III), NAIA, or NJCAA.
We help you understand the NCAA rules and regulations, ensure your student is on target for eligibility, and create a plan that provides your child with the best options.
Course Selection
Top grades or challenging classes? What’s best for the application? We help your student make smart decisions and monitor your child’s progress on a weekly or monthly basis, depending on the student’s age and help required. We teach "life skills" that can successfully be utilized during college and in their future career/job searches.
Strategic Planning
The application process is daunting – which schools should be Early Decision, Early Action or Regular Decision? What’s the difference? Our advisors help each student develop a savvy application plan.
School & College Visits
The admission process is very selective. Top tier schools receive upwards of 50,000 applications each year and can have less than a 10% acceptance rate. Our advisors partner with each student to build a manageable college list that supports them to reach high but grounded in potential acceptance.
Budgeting for College
We will help your family understand terminology and potential yearly cost at each institution.
Summer
Summer is an ideal time to discover new ideas and skills that can be fun but good for a college resume as well. From pre-college campus programs to internships to volunteering or part time jobs, we have unlimited possibilities to share.
Standardized Testing
We help students understand the values and pitfalls of standardized testing from SAT, ACT to AP.
Letters of Recommendation
Strong letters of recommendation are key. By planning ahead, our advisors determine with each student which teacher or mentor to approach and how to acquire the best recommendations.
Interview Prep
Meetings with admission reps and professors are important opportunities to make a good impression. We make sure students are prepared.
Campus Visits
In-person visits help a student determine whether a college will be a good fit as they spend time on campus. We help you decide where to go and how to make the most of your visit beyond the student-led guided tours.
Resume Building
We help students define their goals plus highlight their strengths and achievements for job resumes and college applications.
Application Review
We work side by side with each student as they complete their college applications and do a comprehensive review before submissions to eliminate errors.
“This is what we do... and we have fun doing it!”
Additional Services
During the process there may be other services your family needs based on your situation. We can refer you to one of our partners to discuss any of these additional services and fees that might be needed. Areas include: ESSAY REVIEW, MILITARY ACADEMY NOMINATIONS and others
Essay Review
The personal essay helps the admission office understand the candidate better, whether the campus is a good fit and can the applicant contribute to making the campus a more interesting, challenging, and inclusive place. During the application season, admission reps may read through as many as thirty essays a day. Fatigue is a hazard.
To break through the tedium, your essay needs to be memorable. It should have originality, an authentic story or theme, and a strong voice that shows the depth/passion of the writer’s commitment to their story. The essay must grab the reader from the first sentence. Like any good book, each sentence in your essay should make the reader want to read more.
