Your student has done the work. Make sure the plan and application show it.
From grades 9–11, we help families make thoughtful choices about classes, activities, leadership, and what deserves attention next. During senior year, we help students build a focused college list and present their story clearly through the personal statement and key Common App sections.
Not sure where to begin? Tell Jennifer and Heather what feels unclear.
Still piecing college planning together from checklists, rankings, counselor emails, and advice meant for everyone?
Which classes matter? Are the activities meaningful or just filling time? What should the essay reveal? Does the application actually show the work?
Generic advice can give you more things to do. It cannot tell you what matters most for this student or how the pieces should fit together.
Clear help for the stage your student is in now.
Each LaunchPoint service solves a different part of the planning and application process. You only purchase the help your family needs.
Are we focusing on the right things before senior year?
We review the student’s academics, interests, activities, goals, and available time, then build priorities and a written roadmap for the year they are in now.
Where should my student actually apply, and why?
We evaluate the student’s academic profile, possible direction, campus preferences, admissions context, and practical family priorities so every college on the list has a reason to be there.
My student has no idea what to write, or the essay still does not feel right.
We help the student uncover the right story, understand what it reveals, develop it in their own voice, and strengthen it through drafting, coaching, revision, and final polish.
The boxes are filled in, but does the application actually show the work?
Send the résumé or current Activities and Honors list. Jennifer and Heather review the materials personally, ask targeted questions only where needed, and prepare copy-ready recommendations.
Still not sure which support fits?
Tell Us What Feels UnclearLess guessing. Better decisions. A clearer way forward.
The goal is not to manufacture a perfect applicant. It is to help the student’s real work, interests, direction, and voice come through more clearly.
Your family knows what matters next.
You leave with specific priorities instead of another long list of possibilities competing for the student’s limited time.
The student’s story becomes clearer.
Academics, activities, interests, experiences, and writing begin to support one accurate picture instead of feeling disconnected.
You receive something you can use.
Depending on the service, that may be a roadmap, Student Guide, College List Strategy Brief, coaching plan, or copy-ready report.
The value is clarity families can feel.
Planning before senior year“Realizing we don’t have to just fill a page with needless volunteer work and extracurricular activities gave us both a sense of relief.”

Personal strategy, without unnecessary complexity.
The details vary by service, but the work is always built around the individual student.
We begin with the student.
You share the information, materials, and context needed for the service you selected.
We do the strategic work.
Jennifer and Heather review the details personally, identify patterns, and determine what deserves attention.
We make the direction clear.
Your student and family receive specific recommendations, coaching, or written guidance built around the goal.
You know what comes next.
The family leaves with a practical result and clear next steps, not a conversation you have to reconstruct later.
Heather Jahr & Jennifer Wright · Co-Founders
Small and personal by design.
We built LaunchPoint after years in education because families needed more than generic advice and students needed guidance that respected how they think, communicate, and grow.
We intentionally limit our client load. When your family works with LaunchPoint, Jennifer and Heather do the analysis, build the strategy, and guide the student directly. No junior staff. No handoffs.
Why LaunchPoint Is DifferentYou do not have to figure out the right starting point alone.
Tell us your student’s grade, where they are in the process, and what currently feels unclear. Jennifer and Heather will review your message personally and recommend the most useful next step.
