How often do you meet with students?
It depends on when I begin working with your student. During spring of junior year I generally meet with students every 4 - 6 weeks depending upon their school schedule. The summer before senior year brings a much more personalized schedule based on the student's summer activities, travels and family time but usually includes at least 2 or 3 meetings per month. Once senior year starts I generally meet with students once a week or every other week depending upon their needs and level of discipline. We continue meeting until all applications are completed and submitted.
Do you help families complete financial aid forms?
No. I do not assist in the completion of financial aid forms. I do, however, advise you on which forms should be completed and by what deadlines.
Can you guarantee acceptance to my student's first choice college?
No. I cannot guarantee acceptance to any college or university. Colleges base their decisions on a holistic review process. I help students put their best foot forward so they can have many college options to choose from but there are never any guarantees of acceptance.
