STUDENT SERVICES

THE ROADMAP

 Are you planning to study abroad? Are you currently in 10th standard or above? Preparing for the next chapter in a student’s academic trajectory begins long before the college application process commences. The Roadmap is an opportunity to engage with students and parents from a 35,000 foot view in order to define a personal strategy that blends together academic, personal interest, hobbies, and social service.  Sessions are in blocks of 2 hours.  

THE ESSAY

The essay is one of the most integral aspects of a college application. The essay is an opportunity for a student to articulate their life journey to an admissions board. The essay is what can shine a spotlight on one student’s application among many finalists. Writing is a voice that has the potential to open doors. The personal essay requires two essential ingredients; A) Life Experience and B) Rewriting. Let us work with you to find your voice.  The Essay Package includes up to 8 hours of 1:1 consultation and up to four drafts. 

SECOND LOOK
