Holistic Strategic Academic & Extracurricular Planning
The first step towards achieving admission into your best fit school is to start with a strategic plan that’s tailored around your intrinsic interests and strengths. In customizing the appropriate strategy for you, we first conduct a student profile analysis, which is based on a range of factors including academic records, personal interests, extracurricular activities, standardized testing scores and more.
Once we’ve established your background and have an understanding of your goals, we will create a holistic and actionable plan that encompasses academics, extracurriculars, summer optimization, and standardized testing. We help you achieve each goal, step-by-step. In working with you on a one-on-one basis throughout the entire process, we’re able to provide unparalleled personal attention and customized solutions to the various challenges you encounter.
In the process of helping you overcome problems and achieve your goals, we also help you develop your critical thinking skills by working with you in analyzing and thinking through more efficient and creative solutions. The development of these critical thinking skills is ultimately what will help you achieve success in the long-term.

College Applications
As you progress through middle school and into high school, we will continue developing and executing on a customized strategic academic and extracurricular strategy to best fit your interests, strengths and goals. Then, starting in your junior year, we will begin the college application process.
Given that there are so many different components with your college applications, we need to stay organized. Thus, we will first develop a college application timeline that details out the deliverables in order to ensure that we stay on track with deadlines. We’ll help you develop a comprehensive mix of schools that best fit your intellectual, social and personal goals.
Furthermore, we’ll collaborate closely with you to refine your main essay and school-specific supplemental essays in order to effectively highlight your unique personal story, strengths, and accomplishments. Our tailored approach aims to help you craft memorable narratives that captivate admissions committees and distinguish you as an exceptional candidate. We’ll also work with you in preparing your recommendation letters for both your guidance counselors and teachers, refine your resume/activity sheet to showcase all of your activities and accomplishments in a meaningful way, and prepare for interviews with college admissions officers and/or alumni. We can also help plan out your college visitation tours in order to get the most out of your trip, as well as determine if there are any additional supplemental materials that could be useful in submitting with your college application in order to stand out.
Throughout the entire process, from beginning to end, we will guide you on a one-on-one basis across all aspects of the strategic planning and college application process, which will include customized services such as:
