Who is this perfect for?

What can I expect to accomplish?

How will this engagement work?

How much does this cost?

I have designed this group/individual hybrid engagement option for rising seniors who:

  • Already developed their college list

  • Understand the value of building confidence throughout the college admission process

  • Want to make sure their extracurricular and honors achievements support their application narrative

  • Need support in crafting a college essay that is both authentic and differentiated

  • Hope to convey true interest and personality when writing supplemental essays

We will focus on 4 key milestones of the college application process:

In May, students will complete a simple survey with their credentials and their current college list. Adam will review and outline a perspective on the relative balance (likely, target, reach) of each student’s list.

❋ College List Evaluation
❋ Brand YOU + Activities/Honors

In June, students will learn the value in creating a differentiated application narrative by completing a positioning exercise to articulate their unique narrative and then applying it to their activities/honors list..

In July and August, students will be guided through exercises to identify the lead theme(s) for their college essay. Adam will provide asynchronous and in-person guidance to ensure the final essay is in the student’s voice and avoids pitfall cliches for admission officers.

❋ THE College Essay

In August and September, attention will turn to the supplemental essays. Adam will advise the group on approach strategies and will help students develop a framework to feel confident applying to the supplemental essays required for each student’s school list.
