It's Not Too Late To Get College Application Help
Senior year has a way of sneaking up on you. Maybe you planned to handle college applications on your own and you're realizing it's more than you expected. That's a really common place to land and finding support late in the game can feel stressful. I work with a small number of 12th graders each year on their applications. Here's what that looks like:

FAQ
Is it too late for me to get help from a college counsellor?
Probably not! Book a free consultation with us and we’ll tell you what’s possible with a realistic timeline.
Should I choose Late Stage or Final Review Advising?
If you have a completed Common Application, polished essays, and a finalized list of schools you want to apply to, a Final Review is best. If you’re still working on any of these, then choose Late Stage Advising.
Do you only offer college application help in NYC and NJ?
No, Sessions are virtual 1:1 first, meaning all students can take advantage nationwide.
How soon can we start?
Once you book your initial consultation, we will go over your needs and hit the ground running within days. Every week is crucial for 12th graders, so I recommend starting quickly.
