Distinctive

Are you unsure of where to go to school? Taking a holistic approach, your child will work individually with us to identify schools where your child will thrive. Your consultant will also help you figure out how to arrange campus tours and arm you with questions to ask so that you make the most of your visits.

We help you to mitigate the financial impact of sending your child to college. This service also includes assistance deciphering and comparing each school’s financial aid package after your child receives his or her acceptance letters. If a package that you receive does not reflect your real financial needs, we will also help you appeal your award.

The essay section of college applications can make the difference between being admitted to a top choice school and not. We will help your child brainstorm and develop, draft after draft, essay topics that will highlight your child’s unique characteristics and grab the attention of admissions officers.

What do admissions committees look for when they read your applications? How do you know which information to include and which to leave out? With Application Completion, your consultant will read through your child’s college applications, to ensure that they showcase his or her best attributes, activity involvement, and talents.

What do alumni and admissions officers want to know from you in person? Our mock interviews guide your child through the types of questions to expect and the best ways to respond. We also provide your child with a recommended reading list to enhance his or her conversations with admissions personnel.

What plans do you have for this summer? If you don’t like your answer, chances are college admissions committees won’t like it either. We help you discover the right summer experience for you to keep you on the competitive track.
