Advising Pathway

Our comprehensive advising process guides you from your initial consultation to the final steps of your college journey. Discover how we chart your course for success.

Advising Timeline

Initial Consultation

During the initial consultation, we discuss your goals with you, talk about the schools you're applying to, and what they're looking for. Then, if you have essays, we take a look at them and give you general advice, or we look at your extracurriculars and formulate a plan to improve them over the next month.

High School Foundation (9th-10th Grade)

We start by helping you choose the right extracurriculars, classes, and clubs while you acclimate to high school. By 10th grade, we transition to building out your extracurricular profile for impact, working toward developing passion projects that will become the foundation of your college essays.

Project Expansion (11th Grade)

While early high school focuses on taking passion projects from 0 to 1, junior year is about taking them from 1 to 100. We focus on expanding projects, accelerating partnerships, and applying for scholarships and awards to maximize your impact and recognition.

Application Phase (Summer-12th Grade)

Starting the summer before senior year, we work on developing your story and begin essay writing. During 12th grade, we shift focus almost entirely to applications - compiling your college list and perfecting essays through our iterative process. We work together to create outlines, provide feedback, and refine until deadlines (November 1st for early admission, early January for regular decision).

Ongoing Support

Our commitment doesn't end with acceptance. We support you through the college decision process, scholarship negotiations, and transition planning to ensure you're set up for success at your chosen university.
