Services Offered

Full Cycle Comprehensive Application Package

A boutique, high-touch partnership for families seeking clarity, calm, and expert guidance through the entire admissions process.

This is my most intensive and personalized offering. Because this level of support requires depth and presence, I take a maximum of five full-cycle students per year.

What’s Included

1. Comprehensive Intake Meeting

A deep 90–120 minute conversation where I learn:

  • the student’s background, identity, academic trajectory

  • interests, values, and ways of thinking

  • fears, pressures, and goals

  • family context, expectations, and support structures

This meeting sets the foundation for the entire application narrative.

2. Parent Meeting (Expectation + Misconception Reset)

A vital session for anxious or overwhelmed parents. We discuss:

  • how selective admissions actually works

  • what matters (and what doesn’t)

  • how to support without micromanaging

  • how to avoid the most common misconceptions

  • how the student’s strengths will be positioned

This meeting establishes alignment and emotional steadiness for the whole family.

3. Full Application Arc + Strategy

Together, we build:

  • a clear admissions strategy

  • ED/EA choices and rationale

  • a college list that fits the student (not the frenzy)

  • a master timeline that protects mental health and avoids burnout

  • narrative cohesion across Personal Statement + supplements + activities

4. Personal Statement Process

This includes:

  • narrative mining

  • identity and meaning-making work

  • pattern analysis

  • story direction selection

  • a custom outline

  • 2–3 structural revisions

  • final polishing

This is the deepest, most reflective part of the entire application.

5. Supplemental Essays (ED/EA + RD)

I help students develop:

  • Why Us

  • Why Major

  • Identity/Community essays

  • Short answers

  • School-specific prompts

All with individualized strategy, structure, and deep line-level refinement.

6. Activity Section + Additional Materials

I support:

  • positioning of activities

  • ordering, phrasing, and clarity

  • honors/awards

  • optional or additional information sections

  • application coherence

7. Final Application Review

Before submission, I do a thorough pass through the entire application to ensure narrative alignment, voice consistency, clarity, reflective depth, and positioning.

8. Emotional + Organizational Support

This includes:

  • pacing guidance

  • anxiety reduction

  • helping students stay grounded

  • gentle accountability

  • communication support for deadline-heavy periods

Best For

Students and families who want:

  • a partner they can trust

  • a calm, steady presence

  • someone who deeply understands the student

  • a process that feels human, not industrial

  • high-level admissions strategy

  • narrative excellence

Essay & Application Story Package

For students who need expert guidance on the most challenging, narrative-driven parts of the application.

This package focuses entirely on the qualitative components of the application that require reflection, clarity, and meaning-making.
It is a high-touch, high-depth experience designed for students who need thoughtful support with:

  • The Common App Personal Statement

  • All Supplemental Essays (ED/EA + RD)

  • Activities Section (positioning, phrasing, clarity, impact)

  • Additional Information Section

  • Resume (optional)

These pieces shape how an admissions officer understands a student, and they require a level of narrative and structural guidance that large agencies simply can’t provide.

I take a narrative-first approach, rooted in identity, reflection, and intellectual clarity. This package is ideal for students who don’t need full-cycle strategic planning, but who want high-level support on the parts of the application that matter most.

What’s Included

1. Narrative Intake Session (Student-Only)

A deep conversation (75–90 minutes) where I get to know the student:

  • their background, personality, values

  • moments that shaped them

  • intellectual orientation

  • identity threads

  • emotional world

  • early ideas for essays

This is where the narrative direction begins to emerge.

2. Personal Statement Process

  • narrative mining

  • identity + meaning-making

  • selecting a story direction

  • custom outline

  • structural revisions

  • line-level refinement

  • final polish

This is deep, careful work, not rapid-fire editing.

3. Supplemental Essay Strategy + Drafting

I work with students through all supplements needed for Early Action / Early Decision and Regular Decision.

This includes:

  • Why Us

  • Why Major

  • Identity / Community

  • Short answers

  • Unique or school-specific prompts

Each essay receives:

  • individualized strategy

  • structure

  • reflection guidance

  • meaningful line-editing

  • narrative alignment with the Personal Statement

4. Activities Section Positioning

I help students shape:

  • the order of activities

  • phrasing

  • verbs

  • quantification

  • clarity and impact

  • the underlying narrative logic

This section matters more than families realize, and I ensure it strengthens the overall story.

5. Additional Information Section (If Applicable)

Guidance on whether to use it, and if so, how to write it:

  • contextual information

  • academic circumstances

  • responsibilities

  • personal or family context

  • health challenges

  • learning differences

  • special projects

6. Resume Support (Optional)

Creating or refining a clean, effective, admissions-friendly resume.

7. Narrative Consistency Review

Before the student submits, I do a final check to ensure coherence across all essays, voice consistency, alignment with the student’s identity and strengths, and quality and clarity.

This is the high-level thinking that ties the entire application together.

Best For

Students who:

  • don’t need help building a college list or ED/EA strategy

  • already have a working application plan

  • but need deep support on the writing, reflection, and narrative clarity

  • are overwhelmed by the hardest parts of the application

  • have complicated stories, identities, or lived experiences

  • feel lost in template-based advising or large agencies

  • want someone who will take the time to understand them

  • want an application that feels like them, not like a product

This is a premium package for families who value depth and quality.

How This Differs From the Full Package

Full Cycle:
includes everything: strategy, college list, ED/EA choice, timeline management, parent meetings, emotional support, and application structure.

Essay + Application Story Package:
focuses intensely on the writing and narrative identity, without the structural strategy.

It’s perfect for students who already know where they’re applying and simply need expert guidance on the heart of the application.
