Strategy-oriented support:
In 9th-10th: course planning; extra-curricular and summer activity guidance; testing strategy; planning visits; self-assessment and reflection exercises.
In 11th-12th: co-created college list; essay development; guidance framing activities list; guidance on getting strong letters of recommendation; per-college strategic application positioning; interview prep; financial aid package review; tools and techniques to 'stress test' each college, stay organized and on target, and more.
In college (if desired): guidance on course selection, club involvement, research opportunities, internship applications and summer planning including interview prep and résumé writing.
Targeted list support:
A deeply researched list of 10-15 great fit colleges. I interview student and family to ensure every college on the list meets your needs, interests and goals. I ask questions that get at underlying values, hopes and assumptions so that this list is thoughtfully constructed and does not just check off surface requirements.
I include a set of prototyping and validation tools to enable your student to stress test each college on their list.
10 hours of my time:
This could look like: course selection guidance throughout high school; suggestions and research on effective summer planning; feedback on your self-created college list; testing strategy; interview prep or much more. Essay feedback is not available in this package.
