Senior Services
12th Grade College Admissions Consulting
All-inclusive Senior services beginning May 1st before your 12th grade year. Every step of the application process — expertly guided.
Comprehensive Support Through Every Step
Our Senior services begin on May 1st before a student's 12th grade year to give maximum time for essay development and strategic planning. We work with students through the entire application process — from initial consultation through final decisions.
Unlike many consulting services that offer limited touchpoints, we spend three times more time with students than our competitors. Every application component receives expert attention and strategic refinement.
“The essay is your voice — we help you make it unforgettable.”
