Consultation

Our free consultation is an opportunity for us to learn more about a student’s goals and provide valuable insights into the college admissions process. This is not a typical introductory call—it’s a strategic conversation designed to help families understand how our services can best support their student’s journey.

With over 20 years of experience in counseling and teaching, Erin Robison will guide the discussion, sharing expert insights and outlining the ways our team can assist with college planning. While this consultation does not include a free session with a college counselor, it provides meaningful context and direction for families navigating admissions.

Consultations are available Monday through Friday between 9 AM and 6 PM. To schedule, call 858-793-7737 or email us.

Student Placement

After learning more about a student in the consultation, our Director will match a student with a College Admissions Consultant. The placement is based on learning style, list size, and availability. We’ve learned that the right mentor is critical in making the admissions process a success.

Comprehensive Counseling for Freshman, Sophomores, and Juniors*

We start with our comprehensive clients as early as freshman year and as late as May of junior year. The earlier we start, the more guidance we provide with extracurricular activities and high school course selection. Regardless of when you sign up for the comprehensive counseling program, the price is the same.

We work with our comprehensive clients to optimize their school list and to ensure that they have everything they need to make them the most attractive candidate possible. Once students begin the application process, counselors and students meet as often as needed until all applications and supporting documents are submitted.

Comprehensive clients work primarily with Andrea Scalero, our Director of Admissions, but their essays are reviewed by our other professional essay coaches for a fresh-eyes approach.

* Please note that our Comprehensive Counseling for Juniors is SOLD OUT. We can still provide application support to current juniors and soon to be seniors.

Essays and Applications for Seniors

Our Application Booster program is designed to help students efficiently tackle their college essays with expert guidance. With 10 hours of focused essay writing and editing support and 2 hours of strategic counseling, we help students refine their personal statements, supplemental essays, and other written components to stand out in the application process.

Most students complete the bulk of their application essays in just 12 hours, though individual needs vary. We provide detailed feedback after every session, ensuring that essays are clear, compelling, and authentically reflect each student’s voice. To maximize efficiency, we discourage writing during sessions—instead, we focus on brainstorming, outlining, and refining drafts to make the most of our time together.

We limit enrollment in this program each year to maintain our high standards. We strongly recommend starting in June before senior year to stay ahead of deadlines.
