Most of our students hold their initial session with Managing Partner Mayssoun Bydon. After getting to know you and your story, we will work together to determine which consultant is the best fit.
Once you are placed with your consultant, the process begins with getting to know as much as we can about you, including grades, classes, high school reputation and demographics, test scores, desired career/major objectives, target geography, as well as your family and legacy connections. We then work with you to generate a list of schools divided into “high reach,” “average reach” and “low reach” programs, and we help you determine your Early Action/Early Decision options. We are intimately familiar with all the major universities in the country and across Europe.
Your consultant will help you address such topics as standardized tests; the appropriate tone and content for all communications with schools; appealing to an admissions committee by leveraging particular aspects of your background; selecting recommenders and soliciting effective letters of recommendation; utilizing connections to a particular school; mitigating bad grades or disciplinary issues; preparing for interviews; waitlist strategy and deposit advice; obtaining and maximizing scholarships; and managing communications with alumni and development offices.
Your consultant is a world-class writer who can advise you on résumé development, Common Application essays or other Personal Statements, school-specific supplemental essays, and letters of commitment and statements of continuing interest. He or she will oversee the entire process including the submission of your application itself.
Wherever you are in your academic journey, it's never too early or too late to start the consulting process. We advise freshmen and sophomores on course selection, extracurricular activities and other ways to make the most of their high school experience. With juniors and seniors, we focus on honing narrative, personal statements, essays, résumés, and other key elements of the college application.
