Admissions
Let's face it -- whether applying to middle school, high school, or college,
the admissions process can seem daunting, impersonal, and labyrinthine.
Fortunately, there is an art and a science to it!
I believe that the admissions process can be a phenomenal opportunity for self-discovery. After working together, students consistently report feeling more confident; they understand themselves better and like themselves more. (Many even admit that applying to schools turned out to be fun!) They learn to self-advocate, strengthen their writing, and devise organizational systems that work for them. These skills apply across contexts and far beyond the admissions process.
Results-driven and process-oriented, my approach centers on fit. This revolves around two questions:
1) Is the student an excellent fit for the school?
2) Is the school an excellent fit for the student?
​
It is a two-way street. It is not about getting into a school; it is about getting into the right school.
​
Specifically, I assist with:
-
Big Picture Strategy and Timeline
-
Organizational Plan and Prioritization
-
School List (Research, Campus Visits, Info Sessions, & Notes)
-
Letters of Recommendation (When, How and Whom to Ask and Thank)
-
Application platforms (Common Application, University of California, Georgetown, Ravenna, etc.)
-
Writing (Personal Statement + Supplemental Essays)
-
Activity List + Resume
-
Portfolio
-
Interview Preparation
-
Final Review
-
Decision-making (i.e. Choosing the best-fit school once the results are in!)
