How should we prepare for the first meeting?

However you want. You can show up with a detailed dossier of transcripts, test scores, and a ranked school list — or you can show up with nothing but a vague sense that you need help and aren’t sure where to start. Both are fine. That’s our job — to meet you wherever you are and help provide clarity regardless of how prepared or unprepared you feel walking in.

If anything, come with questions. As many as you can get through. About the process, about our approach, about your specific situation, about things other firms told you that didn’t sit right. We’d rather spend the call answering what’s actually on your mind than running through a scripted overview you could have read on the website.
