What each phase looks like

1

Discovery & Self-Reflection (Ongoing): We start with depth interviews and values exercises (Compass, Lifemap) to understand what drives you, and look for the threads that connect your varied interests. This self-knowledge becomes the foundation for everything else.

2

Profile Building (Ongoing): Guidance on course selection, summer opportunities, and extracurriculars. We track your activities systematically through Activity Journals, building toward your eventual activities list. We meet 2-3 times per year, with regular self-reflection check-ins to capture how your interests evolve.

3

Research & Campus Exploration (11th to 12th): Learn my research methods to identify 15-20 colleges where your profile resonates. Plan meaningful campus visits with my visit form template and debrief framework. We'll decode what you're actually experiencing on campus and use those insights to refine your preferences. Your activities list takes shape as we decide which experiences to highlight.

4

Application Preparation (Spring 11th to Fall 12th): Your self-reflection work pays off as we craft your narrative. We'll draft your activities list, framing what you've done to show depth, leadership, and impact. Begin essay brainstorming rooted in the self-knowledge you've developed. Plan final campus visits to answer specific questions.

5

Application Execution (Summer to Fall 12th): Weekly or biweekly meetings during peak season. Finalize your activities list with strategic ordering and descriptions (150 characters that work hard). Complete all essays with multiple rounds of feedback. Every part of the application, from activities to essays, connects to the story we've built through your self-reflection work.

6

Decision Support (Winter to Spring 12th): Use 'Future Prototyping' exercises to envision yourself at each option. Visit admitted student days with targeted questions. Compare fit as well as cost. Your decision rests on the self-knowledge we've built together.
