Comprehensive Package
THE MOST POPULAR PACKAGE!
Recommended for college-bound students in 9, 10, or 11 grade.
The Comprehensive Package provides ongoing consultation and support throughout high school coupled with the college application process. An assessment identifies each student’s strengths, interests, goals and needs, including a review of each family’s financial parameters. This criterion is utilized to develop a list of schools that match the characteristics identified by the assessment. My Academic Advisor works with each family, on a scheduled basis to provide advice about college visits. Tips include how to gather information that will help each student narrow their options and find the right college-fit. As the senior year approaches and the application process begins, My Academic Advisor provides assistance with each step of the application process. Sessions include: advice and critique of essay development, application review, interview preparation, organization strategies, resume development, timeline management, and more. My Academic Advisor can consult based on the student’s needs and each family’s parameters.
