Important notes:
- There is no guarantee of admission to any institution.
- The goal is to help the student and family find schools that fit academically and personally.
- The student will write all of the essays and applications. I’ll be there to support and advise, but it’s important that the college hear the student’s voice and perspective when they read the application.
- We’ll review the necessary tasks for each application, but the student will push submit and be responsible for ensuring that all components of the application are completed.
- The comprehensive package includes an email with a meeting summary after each meeting sent to both the student and parents.
- The list of services is a typical outline. We will adjust as necessary to meet the particular needs of the student and the family as the student progresses toward the goal of completing the college application process.
- The package is comprehensive and includes responses to emails, phone calls, and questions as they arise.
