Our Coaching Process
Our coaching process involves several phases.
Phase #1: This is the introductory phase where we get to know each other. We will together discuss your grades, test scores, extracurriculars, passions, skills, and interests.
Phase #2: Based upon what we find from Phase # 1, we will help you identify which major is likely the right choice for you on a preliminary basis. With the major selected, we can identify the extracurricular skills and leadership opportunities that you can explore to further enhance the application process.
Phase # 3: We will provide you with the tools necessary to pick 15 to 20 colleges. We will help you categorize them in terms of Dream schools, Reach schools, and Safety schools.
Phase # 4: Depending upon your needs, we can further refine your list as needed. We can discuss strategies for Early decisions and Regular decisions. We can help you integrate the application process and provide support in developing the essay. We want to emphasize that the essay is ultimately your work and we will help you identify a topic and review your essay.
Phase # 5 : Once you receive the acceptance letters, we can work with you to identify the right college for you.
Please note that the entire process involves several hours of discussions on Zoom. We don’t generate frivolous emails. At the end of every phase, we can provide you with a written summary of what was discussed and what needs to be done.
From our past experiences, Phases # 1 through 3 can typically take about 10 hours. This of course can vary from one individual to another individual. With more preparedness and active involvement from family members, this can be less.
Phase # 4 takes more time depending upon the number of essays.
We want to emphasize that ultimately the college that you want to go to and the major that you want to pursue is entirely your choice. We will simply provide an independent oversight where you can leverage our expertise to take informed decisions.
We are looking forward to hearing from you soon.
