Family-first
We work with families, not clients.
Every family has specific needs, and we go the extra mile to give them empathetic, personal support wherever necessary.
We’re holistic, full-service college admissions guides. We’re experts on every part of the process: test prep, special projects, college and major selection, essays and the Common App, athletic recruiting, negotiating financial aid, and more.
The transition from high schooler to college student is complicated, not just for students but for mom, dad, siblings, and even Grandma Jo.
We give parents no-nonsense advice. We offer kids understanding and respect as young adults. Instead of making college admissions a hyper-competitive, results-driven process, we encourage personal growth and help build our student’s self-esteem. We get the ready for school, not just as applicants, but people.
we help students, not applicants.
Most test prep companies are obsessed with the SAT/ACT. Most college counselors care about elite admission (and the business that flows from it.) For them, your life may as well end when you get that last score or open that last “Your Admissions Decision” email.
We’re about building a kid’s future. For us, their story begins at freshman orientation.
We are experienced in guiding students with the following learning and unique needs:
- ADHD
- Autism Spectrum Disorders
- Dyslexia/Processing Disorders
- Bipolar & Personality Disorders
- Communication Disorders
- Head Injuries & Post-Concussive Disorder
- Gender Dysphoria
- Eating Disorders
Often we interact with students who have not been diagnosed or just recently had a diagnosis.
We will guide you through the process, make recommendations, and help you fill out the proper paperwork for test accommodations. We also help you write additional notes in your Common Application.
We coach kids on how to navigate their learning issues, find a college that will suit their unique needs, and show them how to use these challenges as an asset in college essays and personal storytelling.
Data-Driven
We focus on achieving tangible results, driven by genuine data about colleges.
We adopt a systematic methodology that harnesses the full potential of superscoring, as well as incorporating hacks, tricks, and time-saving techniques.
With our cutting-edge research, we stay ahead of the curve on college trends and data, providing valuable insights before they even become mainstream.
