2020 is a crazy and difficult year for working parents and students alike. With all of the change we’re seeing, we know that colleges are modifying their institutional priorities in a way that will impact this admission cycle.
Our response to this, and our advice to our clients, is to make sure you have a balanced college list, and that you truly love each school on your list. We also don’t advise falling in love with one. Having a balanced list means you’ll have good news and a less-stressed teenager!

Our team of trained, professional counselors provide personalized guidance to make the college application process more organized and less stressful for high school students and their families. Get in touch and let us help reduce the anxiety.
College Admissions Testing
Some colleges are making the decision to not require the SAT or ACT for the Class of 2021, and some for future classes as well.
Should your student still take the SAT or ACT? Will they benefit from a test-optional process or not?
Are your friends starting to think about (read: get anxious about!) college? You can host a private virtual college admissions information seminar for your friends or fellow “pandemic pod” parents! We can tailor our presentation for parents of 8th, 9th, 10th or 11th grade students, or a combination.
