HOW TO WORK WITH ME
Foundations Package (Grades 9–10)
Long-Term Strategic Planning
Designed for motivated students who want to build a strong and intentional foundation early.
Competitive applications are not created in senior year. They are built through strategic academic decisions, meaningful extracurricular depth, and a clear evolving narrative over time.
This package includes:
• A personalized four-year academic roadmap
• Strategic course selection and rigor evaluation
• Intentional extracurricular positioning
• Summer enrichment planning
• Leadership development strategy
• Early standardized testing roadmap
• Ongoing narrative development
• Structured check-ins and refinement
Families gain clarity and confidence early, avoiding reactive decisions later.
Students move forward knowing their efforts align with long-term goals.
The Blueprint Package (Grades 11–12)
Strategic Positioning & Application Execution
Designed for high-achieving students ready to strengthen positioning in junior year and execute with confidence in senior year.
This experience begins in 11th grade — not in the fall of senior year allowing time for thoughtful refinement rather than last-minute execution.
Positioning, testing, and leadership development are refined early so applications feel intentional and cohesive.
This package includes:
• Junior-year positioning refinement
• Personalized standardized testing strategy
• Leadership and capstone development
• Recommendation strategy and teacher selection
• Thoughtfully curated college list
• Common Application personal statement development
• Activities list and student profile refinement
• Supplemental essay strategy and polishing
• High-touch deadline support through submission
Applications are not simply completed — they are strategic, cohesive, and memorable.
