We make students more competitive navigators of the higher ed marketplace by helping them fully communicate their value to schools. In seven years of guiding students towards admissions success, we’ve found that applicants who shine authentically have the best edge.
Yet no matter how radiant the student, properly conveying their character to an admissions team can be daunting. This wild-card era of admissions demands strategic vision impartial to higher ed’s web of profits, scores and rankings. Together, we will demystify the arena, clarify your goals, assemble your strategy, and execute.

Here's how we'll navigate four key phases:
EXPLORE
After defining clear goals and developing a strategic list, we use analytic software and honed intution to categorize your student’s college list into four categories: target, reach, wild-card, and safety.
EVALUATE
Mapping application timelines, we’ll assess workload requirements, coordinate with teachers for recommendations, streamline the logistics, and clear the slate for the most important parts of the process.
EXECUTE
With our roadmap established and schools selected, we’ll implement our timeline through focused writing and deadline management. This intensive phase forms the core of the season.
AWAIT
Between February & March, as decisions roll in, we’ll navigate this period with patience and perspective.
Throughout the process, our students become better writers, thinkers, and self-advocates. In the foggy world of college bureaucracy, we believe this experience will set them on a path to articulate and advocate for the best outcomes in undergrad and beyond.
