3 Proven Steps for Parents & Student Athletes

FIRST STEP

We begin by truly getting to know your student—their strengths, interests, and aspirations, along with your family’s social, geographic, and financial considerations.

During this stage, we:

• Review transcripts, teacher reports, recommendations, testing, extracurricular activities, and personal interests
• Connect your student with opportunities such as academic tutoring, enrichment programs, music lessons, athletic teams, or specialized camps
• Refer trusted specialists for additional academic or cognitive testing, when appropriate

SECOND STEP

Next, we shift toward preparation and strategy, setting expectations and ensuring your student is ready to shine throughout the admissions process. In this phase, we:

• Arrange and guide campus visits and admissions interviews
• Build and refine a curated list of schools uniquely suited to your student
• Create a detailed action plan to keep applications and requirements on track
• Finalize the list of best-fit schools for applications

THIRD STEP

As applications take shape, we provide expert, hands-on guidance to help your student present their best self.

This includes:

• Coaching on essays and parent statements to ensure authenticity and impact
• Advising on the choice of additional teacher and personal recommendations
• Guidance on supplemental materials such as awards, art portfolios, or performance/recruitment videos
• Guidance on final submissions and applications to selected schools
