As you approach Senior Year, there's only so much left that you can control in your college application. You might be able to add one or two more activities, perhaps try to make an impact the summer before the school year, and you might consider taking the SAT/ACT once more during the Fall semester. You grades are all but settled (save for your first semester senior year grades), so what's left? In my view, this is where the fun begins!

I will do a complete inventory check with you and begin to strategize how best to prepare your college applications. We will meet weekly beginning the summer before your Senior Year in order to maximize our time together (keep in mind, I have no time limits in my meetings, and we can meet twice, three times, or even everyday if you'd like!). During the summer, we will work on and complete your Common Application essay. In addition, we will begin to formulate your college list and I will give you ideas/tips on application strategy. In addition, we will discuss and ensure that you have an impactful activity during the summer. In August, we begin working on your supplemental essays, reaching out to your teachers to secure letters of recommendation, and schedule/prepare for any upcoming standardized testing. We'll also work on aspects like the additional information section, extracurricular activity summaries, mock interview preparations, and polish any awards/honors you may have.

Prior to submitting any application, I will go through each application question line-by-line with you so that we're all on the same page. My goal is to ease the stress of this process by being on-call to you every step of the way!

*Flat Rate for up to 15 applications

Junior year is the time to focus on all aspects of your college application: academic profile, having impactful activities (in school, outside of school, and summer activities), SAT/ACT testing plan, building a college list, and developing your personalized college application strategy.

At minimum, we'll begin to meet once a month, as our priorities will be to do everything we can to shore up your profile and make you as compelling as possible.

Please note: These prices reflect all college counseling work for the following years as well, which means this package includes all of the benefits up until Grade 12 college counseling! That means when you start with me in Grade 11, the $15,000 is for a total of 2 years. We will continue year-by-year until you gain admission into your dream institution!

Sophomore year includes all of the elements of Freshman year, with an additional emphasis on refining and showcasing the extracurricular activity and academic profile. In addition, we will begin to work together to practice reflective writing. I've noticed that this is something students tend to struggle with come Senior Year as they're scrambling to write their essays. Students are so programmed to write a certain way for their English classes in high school that it produces an unintended consequence. The essay and short answer they write for college applications calls for depth, reflection, and character; we will work together to develop your reflective writing skills using writing exercises, sample essays, monthly journal entries, and reading assignments.

Please note: These prices reflect all college counseling work for the following years as well, which means this package includes all of the benefits up until Grade 12 college counseling! That means when you start with me in Grade 10, the $17,000 is for a total of 3 years. We will continue year-by-year until you gain admission into your dream institution!

I believe that the first two years of high school is an essential time for students to try (many) new things, engage with others who may be different from you, and to step outside your comfort zone. During these times, that is how you develop, mature, and gain new insights into yourself and your peers.

Beginning freshman year, we will work together to create a college admissions plan that will set you up for success. We'll identify activities and interests and build upon them by making them meaningful and impactful. You'll learn to develop your skills, interests, and values along the way, as these will be essential when it comes time to working on the qualitative components (essay, short answer) of your college application.

In addition, I will also help counsel, advise, and guide you throughout your high school journey. In the early high school years, I'm more of a counselor, covering all aspects of your social, emotional, and academic development.

Please note: These prices reflect all college counseling work for the following years as well, which means this package includes all of the benefits up until Grade 12 college counseling! That means when you start with me in Grade 9, the $18,000 is for a total of 4 years. We will continue year-by-year until you gain admission into your dream institution!

$4,000 for each application

$6,000 for 3 transfer applications

The transfer review process is quite different from the first year review process. While the application itself is similar, what colleges look for, value, and prioritize varies greatly. When I worked at USC, I probably did over 200 Trojan Transfer Plan (TTP) meetings with prospective USC transfers. I'll apply my direct skillset into shaping your transfer application into the compelling for admission. I also have experience in the UC application process, as well as other private colleges (Northwestern, Cornell, Vanderbilt, NYU, and others). The transfer process is all about planning, so let's get started today!
