Applying to college in the U.S. is a years-long process that involves a multitude of hard and soft factors.  We walk you through the necessary steps needed to apply successfully.  No matter where you are in the process, we can help you carve a path that will lead you to your goals.

The roadmap is a chance to receive input from our admissions experts on what you can do NOW to improve your admissions results. It’s full of specific advice including a personalized testing schedule, summer options, ways to sharpen your scholarly focus and gives insight into the schools you are interested in from an admissions perspective. 

We make the nontransparent admissions process clear and give specific ways you can rise above the rest by taking action as well as ideas for an application strategy.

Included is a 2 hour personal consultation via video chat to discuss your Admissions Roadmap and review next steps.
