How We Work
Our ASSESS + MENTOR + POLISH approach allows families and applicants to select comprehensive plans or pick specific, on-demand services.


Assess
Every new client relationship begins with a detailed review session, culminating in a summary report & action plan along with follow-up to commit to next-steps and timelines.

By assessing each client’s academics, experiences, and goals, we make recommendations to help amplify their strengths and map their application pathways.


Mentor
Through regular meetings, we work on executing each client’s action plan, including working together on applications and building their candidacies to help achieve their best personal outcomes.

We handhold applicants in researching best-fit programs, strengthening their profiles, formulating an application strategy, and crafting essays and resumes that perfect their stories – helping them stand out in a sea of applicants.


Polish
We bring it all together at submission time, supporting applicants in presenting their strongest candidacies, including by partnering with specialists on music and arts portfolios.

We help applicants finalize their applications through second reader essay and resume reviews, application proofs, and observed mock interviews and/or video feedback.

About Me

Why Work With Us?
You aspire for a transformational education for a successful future. We have gone down that path and know how to approach it. We help you connect the dots between school, college, graduate school, and larger life dreams, with well-intentioned, honest advice.

We do not believe this can be a one-size-fits-all approach. We invest personalized effort into understanding your individual needs and strengths. This could mean helping one mentee develop better study habits or helping another to make a positive contribution.

The application process can be overwhelming in complexity. We break it down into simple steps, supporting you and leveraging the right partner resources. The skills we teach are meant to serve you through your actual degree program years!

Our support does not end with submitting applications. Our mentorship extends to the decision-making process and well beyond – even in college itself. We understand that higher education is a vital launchpad for realizing your dreams and aspirations.
