A Warning

50 Days. There Are Fifty Days Until Early Decision Applications Are Due. Are You Ready? The college application countdown has begun. Whether you’re a student or a parent, it’s time to get serious about deadlines. I’ve come up with a new service to help with just this. My One-Month Sprint package is designed to help students tackle the entire college application process in just four weeks.

College Applications Are Like A Gas: Work Expands to Fill All Available Time

The college application is greedy. If you give the college application process unlimited time, it will expand endlessly. But by condensing the work into one focused month, I help students (and concerned parents) to complete everything on time without (much) stress. Go from a scattered to-do list to a streamlined, efficient approach that saves time and energy for both you and your folks!

What We’ll Achieve Together

This sprint is all about getting students from wherever they are—whether just starting or halfway done— to a fully prepared, polished application package. Here’s how we’ll do it:

• Bi-weekly Zoom Check-ins: We will meet 8 times to jump start the student’s progress, answer their presssing questions and finalize the app’s various elements.
• Balanced College List: First, in collaboration, we’ll create a list of 8-12 schools, carefully selecting a range of reach, match, and safety schools to ensure there are both aspirational and attainable choices.
• Personal Narrative Development: Together, we’ll simulatenously craft a unique story that reflects the student’s strengths and interests, weaving this narrative throughout essays and applications.
• Essay Writing: From first drafts to polished pieces, we’ll refine the Common App essay and write two standout supplemental essays over 4 weeks abd multiple rewrites, making sure the student’s voice shines through.
• Time Management and Support: I’ll guide students on how to stay on top of their schedule, managing applications with ease while still juggling schoolwork and extracurriculars.
• Interview Prep: Whether it’s mock interviews or question strategy, we’ll ensure students feel confident heading into interviews

Continued Support Beyond Meetings/After 1 Month

Parents, rest easy knowing that nont only will students have one-on-one meetings with me twice a week, but I’ll also be available via text and email between meetings for questions, feedback, and support. I’ll be there whenever students need guidance. Plus, the one-month sprint is just the beginning. Once the sprint is over, we can continue working together to fine-tune and polish any additional aspect of the applications that may come up on an hourly basis. I don’t abandon students before the finish line—we’ll continue the journey to the end!

Why the One-Month Sprint is Ideal for Both Students and Parents

Becuase it’s late September already!

Just kidding. (Sort of.)

This package is perfect for students feeling the pressure of looming deadlines or families looking for a clear, efficient plan. Whether the student has procrastinated (unimaginable, I know) or wants to aboslutely fine-tune their application before submitting, this focused one-month approach offers everything they need— just without the stress. If you’re a parent or student ready to make the next month count, the One-Month Sprint package is here to help.
