These small-group sessions (3 days, 2 hours/day) are offered in the summer and fall of each year. These events guide 12th grade students through the development of a college essay/personal statement, which can be used or adapted for college applications. Advantage students get the first-round pick on session dates.

• Students will have two one-on-one, hour-long sessions with a member of the college counseling team. These individual sessions focus on a specific area of the admissions process based on the student’s priorities and/or areas of need.
•  APPLY NOW! Advantage students may also purchase additional One-on-One College Counseling Sessions at a reduced hourly rate of $375, normally priced at $450/hour. 

• Some Lessons (Letters of Recommendation, Resume, Activity List, Personal Statement, Supplemental Essays, and Common Application) also feature structured work times, in which students will work on and produce items such as a resume or personal statement. The labs, each of which can be attended multiple times, provide students with additional opportunities for individualized feedback from members of the college counseling team. (Please note that some of the items produced in labs will need more work or editing before being submitted as part of an application process.)

• An aptitude assessment helps students understand “how their brain works in the real world” by identifying strengths and interests through a series of activities. The resulting data and the one-on-one counseling session following the assessment can help guide important decisions such as course selections, college list, field of study choices, career opportunities, and more. 

• During specific “office hours”, members of the college counseling team will be available via online collaboration platforms such as Microsoft Teams, Zoom, or phone to answer questions or provide additional help.
