Service Agreement
What We Do
Meeting Details
All meetings will be conducted via Google Meet. Sessions will start and end promptly. If either of us anticipates a delay, we will make every effort to notify the other via email in advance.
Consultation Calls
We encourage prospective students to schedule a consultation call prior to booking paid appointments. This allows us to assess fit and discuss the scope of services. The consultation link is available at the top of our services page. If, following the consultation, we believe your needs may be better met by a trusted colleague, we will gladly refer you.
Undergraduate Support
For undergraduate applicants, we offer guidance on applications to universities in the U.S., Canada, the U.K. and select programs in Asia, Europe, & Oceania. Support is available hourly or in comprehensive packages, focusing on effective application management and reducing stress.
University List Development
We help students create a balanced list of 6–12 target universities. Lists are crafted to provide strong options and ensure a balanced mix of applications, with a focus on fit and realistic admissions chances.
Application Timelines
We offer advice on managing timelines and selecting application plans. For internal school deadlines, please notify us at least two weeks in advance. It is important that you abide by the guidance being given to you by the school you are attending.
Writing Support
We guide students through the writing process using six traits of effective writing: ideas, organization, voice, word choice, fluency, and conventions. Our goal is to help each student's unique and authentic voices shine through in their application essays.
Final Application Review
We offer comprehensive reviews of applications before submission to ensure readiness and clarity.
Decision Support
Once offers and financial aid details arrive, we help students weigh options to make the best decision.
Additional Support
We advise on high school course selection, summer programs, scholarships, and other topics as needed.
Appointment Scheduling
Appointments of 20, 40 and 60 minutes can be booked through our services page. To ensure efficient progress, students are encouraged to maintain no more than two future bookings at a time.
Package Options
For comprehensive review, undergraduate applicants can opt for a variety of packages which will be discussed during the consultation meeting where student needs will be assessed.Packages require upfront payment. Students may start with hourly support and switch to a package later if space allows. Packages must be purchased by June 1 preceding senior year and expire on August 15 of the student’s graduation year.
Hourly Options
Peak-season rates apply during certain times of the year. We encourage students to gather questions between appointments for discussion during meetings.
Commitment to Confidentiality
We respect the privacy of our clients and keep all aspects of the college application process confidential.
Expectations for Parents/Guardians
Support
While parents are welcomed to provide encouragement and support, this process ultimately belongs to the student.
Financial Transparency
Open discussions, with your child, on budget are essential for creating a realistic list of schools.
Appropriate Involvement
Avoid involvement in application authorship. We expect parents to trust their students to complete their work.
Open Communication
Maintain open dialogue with us but include students in relevant discussions.
Final Note
We strive to provide students with the highest quality guidance to maximize success while acknowledging that admission decisions remain beyond our control. Our priority is to offer the support and strategies needed to approach this process confidently, authentically, and ethically.
