Application Year Support
Senior year — full guidance through one application cycle.
Rising seniors with a clear academic record who want senior-level guidance through the application year only. Best for students who have already done the long-term work of building a profile and now need help executing the application.
- Initial profile review and college list construction (10–14 schools)
- Common App essay coaching from idea to final draft
- All supplemental essays for every school on the list
- ED / EA strategy and timing decisions
- Interview preparation
- Financial aid and scholarship application review
- Decision-day review and waitlist strategy
3–4 sessions per month from June through March. Heaviest concentration in August–November (essay drafting) and December–February (decisions and waitlists).
- — Building a profile from scratch (the senior year is too late for this)
- — Test prep
- — Underclass academic planning
When should we start?
Ideally May or June after junior year. Starting in August is workable; starting in October significantly limits what we can do.
Will you write essays for our student?
No. We coach, edit, and push back hard. The student writes every word. Admissions officers can tell when an adult wrote it.
What if we already have a list?
We'll review it and either confirm or rebuild it. About half of incoming lists hold up; the other half need significant revision.
