College Admissions Counseling

Counseling starts with multi-year academic plans, focusing on the big picture while addressing the most minute of details. We partner with students from beginning to end, addressing every aspect of their college admissions strategy.

Facets of CAC:

  • academic planning/course selection

  • extracurricular activity guidance

  • college research & selection

  • summer program & internships

  • college applications & essay writing

  • application strategy

  • interview preparation

Our Approach

For students in middle school, a four-year high school plan can be set into place. The student then begins enrichment study in preparation for their high school plan. For high school students, we assess their academic profile then build a bridge from where they are to where they want to go. Our process is far more personal than typical college admissions counseling. Instead of focusing on superficial traits and general college attributes, we focus on intellectual curiosity, personality, and exploration. Our students are not only allowed, but encouraged, to build a college plan that fosters academic and career discovery.

A key component of our college admissions process is putting the student’s voice and personality into their application. We do so by removing the attention to them as students and instead shifting that attention to them as individuals. This allows for a far more authentic and personal, and reflective and introspective presentation.
