Services
Personalized college consulting
Consulting services are customized to meet each student’s needs. In some cases, we work with students and parents as early as the end of eighth grade: helping with course selection and explaining the overall college process, particularly how the high school career ultimately impacts the students’ options. With each successive year comes a new series of questions: whether or not to take certain AP courses, the importance of extracurricular activities, the value of volunteerism, what exams to take and when, and finally the actual questions surrounding the college process itself.
