Consulting Stages & Packages

Each year of high school invites a new stage in the college search and application process. See below for some insights into what you can expect each year and to select which advising package is best for you.

Freshman Year

Be present. This is the time for students to open their minds to new things, to try things outside their comfort zone, and enjoy learning.

For students interested in NCAA recruiting, your application process may start as early as Freshman year.

Sophomore year

The beginning of the college search process is the most exciting! It’s a time for visiting campuses, exploring new areas of study, and learning what subjects students likes most in school. Sophomore year consulting topics include:

• College fair preparation

• Course selection

• College visit preparation

• PSAT preparation

  …and more.

Junior Year

Junior year is when we lay the foundation for a successful college application. We work not only to narrow the college list but also to develop other important parts of your student’s application. Junior year consulting topics include:
