College and High School
Advising & Application Services

College Admission: At every step of the way, our goal is to keep the student at the center of the conversation, supporting them as they take charge of their research and transition to college. Everyone’s strengths, needs, and priorities are different, and our support will be personalized in response to those self-assessments–- while ensuring timely progress.

​

Typically, we work with students primarily over the 11th and 12th grade academic years as a two-year package. We can begin a consulting conversation in 9th or 10th grade, which might include advising on course choice, activities, summers, standardized test strategy, and general advice on making the most of high school, to set up students to be informed decision-makers when we turn to the explicit conversation about college options.

​

These plans include:

• accounts for a college research and list shaping platform also used by independent college prep schools and by colleges to reach students

• a College Kickstart account for final list balancing, financial aid/ merit scholarship prediction, as well as application timing and early app strategy advice based on historical data

• unlimited meetings as needed, including expanded hours during application season

• access to exclusive webinars, Q&As and resources for financing college with an expert partner at no cost

• referrals to vetted test-prep providers

​

Making sense of researching and applying to colleges can feel like an overwhelming undertaking. We can help break it down into manageable pieces for everyone involved. 

​

We can also offer more targeted support for your student's needs, including options for hourly packages to help with things like rounding out college lists, essay writing, choosing next year's classes, strategizing visit trips, finding potential merit money, or untangling concepts like early action, early decision, deferral, and waitlist.

Independent/ Boarding School Admission: I bring the same mindset and scaffolding to the search for an application-based high school choice, for students looking to enter grades 9-12. With two decades of experience as a school administrator and admission reader in the tight-knit US independent school world and in international schools, I can help your student (and you, parents!) find the best fits and put their best self forward in the application and interviews.
