Through our college admissions practice, we guide high school students along their college admissions and application journey. We have worked with over 9,000 students globally, and this would not be possible without our amazing college admissions coaches.

Lead students in the exploration, research, and discernment of a balanced college list that reflects their academic, professional and personal interests.
Mentor students through the writing process for personal statements, supplemental essays, résumés, etc. by helping students identify their personal narrative and providing meaningful and actionable feedback on their materials.
Tailor guidance with awareness of each student’s geographic location, financial needs, and long-term goals.
