College Application Assistance

College admissions committees ask what you plan to study. Do you have an answer?

Whether you’re ‘Undecided’ or have a major in mind, how you declare your academic path in college applications has a tremendous impact on your admissions decisions.

Some majors are more or less competitive than others, and understanding the nuances of different majors within a broad discipline of study can open or shut higher education doors. We show students How to Choose a Major, identifying their best option at each university to align with career goals, as well as admissions dreams and potential!

Personalize Academic Counseling

We engage students in one-on-one academic counseling sessions to discuss our assessment results and gather additional information about their goals, aspirations, and challenges. During these sessions, we create a personalized academic plan that aligns with their objectives and supports good study habits, time management, or subject-specific skills.

Track & Measure Progress

Track & Measure Progress: We utilize organized systems to ensure all goals are being met. Periodic reviews of personalized academic plans allow for adjustments based on achievements and challenges, and we communicate progress to both students and their parents to foster a collaborative approach toward academic success.
