What packages do you offer for college admissions?

We offer two core types of service, based on where a student is in the process.

The first is application consulting, designed for students in the second half of junior year through senior year who are actively applying. These packages focus on strategy, storytelling, and execution during application season. They come in three tiers — Silver, Gold, and Platinum — and are further scaled by the number of applications a student is submitting. An application is defined simply: one Common App plus that school’s required supplemental essays. Apply to one school, that’s one application; apply to five schools, that’s five. Clean, transparent, no games.

The second is mentorship consulting, designed for students in grades 9–11 who want structured, ongoing guidance before application season begins. Mentorship is offered in one-year engagements at three levels — Silver, Gold, and Platinum — based on how many consulting hours a student needs over the year. All mentorship engagements begin with the same strategic discovery process, then shift into a bank of hours. We’ve studied the patterns closely, and most students’ needs fall cleanly into one of these three levels. The flexibility is intentional: families can dial support up or down year-to-year as needs change, rather than being locked into a rigid multi-year contract.

Across all packages, our model is the same. Every student works with a lead consultant and a dedicated essay specialist. That’s not an add-on — it’s the baseline. The difference between tiers is scope, not quality: how early we start, how many applications we support, and how deep the strategic work goes beyond essays. We deliberately avoid nickel-and-diming because it distorts incentives. Your consultant should be focused on what strengthens your application, not on whether a recommendation triggers an upsell.
