We believe that getting into college isn’t about looking like a great applicant – it’s about becoming one. Setting your child up for success isn’t about writing a great essay. It’s about empowering them to make their greatest choices at this important time in their lives. We want your student to not only “get in,” but to feel ready to thrive wherever they go. That’s why we partner with you and your student on everything related to their college admission – and we do so through a guided process of self-discovery. For so many students, applying to college is the very first opportunity they have to engage in self-awareness and reflection. With this in mind, we take a much more comprehensive and personal approach than most college counseling practices. As experts and accountability partners, we empower our students to choose their own best-fit colleges, prepare for interviews, and (yes!) write essays. In work that’s critical to reaching those goals, we also show students how to better understand their weaknesses, leverage their strengths, and develop their unique skills along the way. We help them uncover their spark and intentionally put it into action through powerful projects, activities, and more. During our proven process, students get to both improve their applications and create positive impact for themselves and their communities during their high school careers. In short, they don’t just look like a perfect fit for their ideal schools – they fully become one. We know that the new world of college admissions can be confusing, complex, and overwhelming. Our team has led more than one thousand students (and their families) through it, and we’re ready to help you have the best possible journey, too. 100% of our students have received admissions acceptance and have completed applications to their entire college list. And we’re thrilled to share that our acceptance rates have been more than double the average at highly selective colleges. But most importantly, we love that our students (and their parents) grow through this process. Students go from worrying about essays and deadlines, to planning their futures with intention and - dare we say it - hope. So, every time we help a student discover their own light, we all celebrate. Because we believe that applying to college shouldn’t be so stressful – it should be your student’s time to shine.
