How We Craft Your College Application
Step 2
Get feedback
Discuss the results of your assessments. Establish career and education goals. Your homework is to acquire your high school transcripts, and course offerings book to prepare for the 4-year academic planning and activity inventories session.
Step 3
Academic Planning and Activities Inventory
We analyze your course load to see if you have the required credits to graduate and meet your goals. We will also discuss your past notable extracurricular experiences and create a resume of activities for later use.
Step 4
Families learn to research colleges and create a “right fit” list. Next, we set expectations to define clear communication between consultants, students, and guardians.
Homework: Complete a list of the Top 10 schools the family agrees on and why.
Step 5
2nd Family Session
Analyze your Top 10 schools list and then decide on college visits. The goal is to gather information to prepare your final balanced college list.
Homework: Attend Group FAFSA Webinar to learn about the estimated Estimated Family Contribution (EFC).
Step 6
The list will explain why to choose a school, the pros/cons, highlights, and features.
Homework: The family provides email feedback about the list.
Step 7
3rd Family Session
Review the feedback about the college list in person. Next, we will refine the list. The goal of this session is to decide which schools to apply to.
Step 8
Apply
During this stage, our students and consultants exchange communication through check-in encouragement, problem-solving, and managing deadlines. Consultants are dedicated to getting families to the finish line.
Step 9
After Applying
You will anticipate your acceptance letters and financial aid offers. A fourth family session is set to discuss the pros and cons of each package.
We will decide which package you choose. A Senior Transition Workshop and Graduation Celebration complete the program.
