Our Process
Freshman Year
As a freshman, the student would meet with the College Solutions counselor once per semester to focus on curriculum planning, leadership development, summer planning, and overall narrative development.
Sophomore Year
As a sophomore, the student would meet with the College Solutions counselor twice per semester to focus on curriculum planning, college visit planning, leadership development, summer planning, PSAT discussion, and overall narrative development.
Junior Year
As a junior, the student would meet with the counselor once per quarter to focus on curriculum planning, grade management, college visit planning, leadership development, summer planning, SAT/ACT planning, application planning, and overall narrative development.
Senior Year
As a senior, the student begins work on the college applications in the summer prior to the beginning of the academic year. College Solutions brainstorms and edits all application essays with the student before the school year begins. We divide the application work into achievable tasks (and deadlines), so that the student and the counselor can work together on finishing this work well before the school year begins. As a senior, the student meets with the counselor as needed to discuss application deadlines, admission deadlines, scholarship opportunities, financial aid questions, and any other application details. Once admitted, the family meets with the counselor to discuss where the student should attend college.
