A MAP FOR
YOUR JOURNEY
The path to college shouldn’t be intimidating. Year by year and step by step, we’re by your side.
The earlier we can inoculate against toxic admissions stress, the better! Beyond just planning high school classes, we believe college prep in middle school is about creating connections between school topics & personal interests, improving executive functioning skills, and bringing strengths to light that go unrecognized during the course of the school day.
We worry about college this year so that students don’t have to! When they eventually apply as seniors, applicants will be expected to show depth of involvement and passion—so our focus this year is on helping students put down roots in interests and activities to explore in the coming years.
Sophomore year is all about low-key college discovery! We want to expose students to excellent-fit colleges that genuinely excite them because it sets off a virtuous cycle of self-motivation that helps them accomplish this year’s goals: strong study skills, solid relationships with teachers, and a clear game plan for low-stress, successful test prep.
Surviving junior year isn’t enough—we want students to thrive! Tasks that seem intimidating (making a college list, tackling standardized tests, demonstrating interest, requesting recommendation letters, writing essays over the summer…) get broken down into manageable steps so students have more time for academics, co-curricular interests, and their overall well-being.
If you’re starting college prep this year, you’re not alone! Wherever students are on their college journey, we guide them towards the application strategy that’s best for them. From learning how to share their unique story to acing interviews and maximizing financial aid offers, students get the resources they need to achieve happy outcomes in the spring.
Every year, millions of students in the U.S. who pay deposits don’t make it to campus in the fall. Often, the problem is a lack of guidance (just mistaking the FAFSA verification alert for an ineligibility notice causes 400,000 students to abandon their hard-won college plans). Over a million more withdraw before sophomore year. We want to support students when they need it most.
