Common App Strategy & Support
Limited 1:1 | Seniors - Spots Open August 1
Every section of your Common App tells a story. We'll make sure they all tell the same one.
Your personal statement is only part of your application. The activities, honors, and additional information sections all shape how colleges understand who you are.
We'll help you strategically position each written section so your application tells one clear, cohesive story.

Your Questions, Answered
-
Not always.
Many students benefit from starting with the Personal Statement Intensive to build clarity and direction. However, for students who have already begun or have a working draft, we’re happy to recommend the best starting point based on where they are in the process.
-
That’s completely fine.
The Personal Statement Intensive is designed for students who are starting from the beginning or feel unsure about what to write. It provides structure, direction, and a strong starting point.
-
That’s a great place to begin.
Students with an existing draft may benefit from either refining their narrative through the intensive or moving into more targeted support, depending on how developed their ideas are. We’ll help guide that decision.
-
As timelines become more compressed, support shifts to an expedited model based on availability.
We’ll always be transparent about what is realistic and what level of support we can provide within the remaining time.
-
Our work is a combination of small-group experiences and individualized support, depending on the offering.
We prioritize thoughtful guidance, clear feedback, and structured progress so students always know what they are working toward.
-
The best place to begin is by reaching out.
We’ll learn more about your student, answer any questions, and recommend a clear starting point based on where they are in the process.
