APPLY NOW!™ Advantage Program
Welcome to KD’s newest college counseling solution! We’ve taken the expert guidance and success of our popular APPLY NOW! Boot Camps and blended it with the proven experience and results of our Complete Program for a program that offers more access to college-bound students nationwide at an affordable price.
The APPLY NOW! Advantage Program guides 11th graders through the entire college application process in small-group sessions led by our college counseling team. Sixteen lessons, some of which parents are encouraged to attend, cover essential topics such as finalizing a college list, writing personal statements, financial aid, and so much more. (See a list of program lessons below.)
The program also includes two Pinnacle Sessions, which are one-on-one, hour-long sessions with a member of the college counseling team. These individual sessions focus on specific areas of the college admissions process based on the student’s individual priorities and areas of need. APPLY NOW! Advantage students may also purchase additional Pinnacle Sessions at a reduced hourly rate.
The APPLY NOW! Advantage Program will take place via Microsoft Teams, Zoom, or a similar online collaboration platform. Schedule a free consultation to find out more.
Registration for the Class of 2025 closes on 5/1/24.
