Select™ Sessions
Focus on specific areas of the college admissions process and pay by the hour for just the help you need.
The program begins with your lead college counselor getting to know you— your grade level, your goals, your priorities, and more. Together, you and your counselor will build a planned series of sessions geared toward your specific areas of need.
Although sessions can focus on many different areas, below are some common ways that students in each grade level use their time in Select Sessions. Estimates for time needed with a counselor are included for general reference, but vary based on the student’s background, goals, needs, and discussions during the sessions.
Please note: Sessions are scheduled and billed in one-hour increments. Fees must be prepaid before any session will be scheduled. Select session students also have access to our online college research and admissions management portal for 30 days.
Select Session meetings will be conducted via Microsoft Teams, Zoom, or a similar online collaboration platform. Schedule your free consultation to get started.
