college counseling services for students beginning in the early years of their high school career. Families who onboard with us in junior and senior year often say they wish they had started earlier. The decisions that students make from the beginning of high school regarding course selection and how they invest their time in extracurricular activities and summer plans can significantly impact their college options and admission candidacy. In addition to supporting students in the college search and application process, we provide guidance with the selection of classes and extracurricular options. Many families also turn to us for help finding meaningful summer plans, including internships and research opportunities. Lastly, our clients benefit from scholarship recommendations that can help alleviate the cost of college.
