Individualized Guidance

If you're the parent of a soon-to-be rising senior, we have several options to help support your student through their college search and application process.

And to help you maintain your sanity this fall.

Our 20-hour Silver package is now available. This gives us enough time to get some work done over the summer, which will make fall less stressful - and then through the fall application season.

Our 10-hour package, available starting in August, is for students who are only applying to their in-state universities and/or to a limited number of colleges.

Does your rising senior need JUST A BIT of help with their college apps? Our very popular COLLEGE APP ZAP is a 3-week program with both group and one-on-one meetings with our counselors. We'll run it twice this fall - once starting August 30, and again starting September 13. Same content, so just sign up for one course.

Register for ZAP or request more info here.

PARENT CORNER

College admission looks very different today than it did when we applied 20-something years ago. Admission rates are a fraction of what they were when we applied - and the process is much more unpredictable. You can work with your child through the process, but it's ok to ask for help from experts.

We'll take you from
#HotMess to #StressLess!

Our counselors are now booking clients in the Class of 2023, 2024 and 2025.
