Early College Planning for 7th, 8th, or 9th grade students

You and your student should start here if you have a highly driven academic student or would like to try and be admitted to the highly selective or ivy colleges. There are many ways to make your student’s application stand out. Our experienced staff can help your student choose appropriate extracurricular activities, volunteer opportunities, school clubs, enrichment activities, and more. This is accomplished through our comprehensive proprietary program.

Primetime College Planning 10th and 11th grade students

A lot of parents have asked when the best time is to start. The answer is: as early as possible. There is an ideal window of opportunity to develop and implement your specific college plan. The sweet spot is during your student’s high school sophomore year or junior year, when you have actionable tasks. Our team will help your student choose the appropriate actionable tasks that can help make your student stand out.

This includes understanding exactly what is needed to complete the college application and understanding what a college values. As an example, if the college does not value volunteer community service, then don’t do that for that specific college. It is critical to learn early on what a certain college values so that your student can add those actionable tasks to their list.

From required ACT or SAT tests, understanding GPA and transcript needs, choosing the best essay topic, these are just some of the areas where we can help your student(s).
