Successfully navigated admissions to several highly selective institutions, now mentoring students through the strategic decisions that shape competitive applicants
For families seeking intentional, personalized support at each step of the application journey:
The college admissions process is not just about strong grades or impressive activities. It is about timing, positioning, and clarity— understanding when to invest effort, how to present growth, and how to make decisions that compound over time.
The Ready–Set–Go Admissions Mentorship is a full-cycle academic and admissions mentorship designed to support students through each major phase of preparation and application.
This is not a crash course or a one-size-fits-all program. It is a selective, high-touch mentorship built around the individual student.
Enrollment is strictly limited to ensure depth of support.
READY: Positioning & Foundation (Feb–Apr)
Students establish a strong academic and extracurricular foundation, clarify interests, and identify early priorities before junior-year decisions accelerate.
Includes:
Detailed resume review and advising to maximize extracurricular activity over the next two semesters
Set of SAT or ACT strategy sessions and a practice test triage
*Spots may be available for single-cycle students if full-year enrollment has closed
SET: Planning & Narrative (May–Aug)
Students develop a clear application narrative, refine their college list, and begin essay drafting well before deadlines.
Includes:
Essay development and college list refining
3 rounds of feedback on personal statement
Financial planning plus one scholarship application mock interview (if applicable)
GO: Execution & Support (Sep–Dec)
