Senior year can feel like one long list of things you’re supposed to already know.
Which colleges make sense? What goes in the Common App? Is the essay good enough? Are the activities written the right way? What are we forgetting?
You don’t have to figure out what kind of help you need before you ask for it. Start with the problem that sounds most like yours.
WE’RE NOT SURE WHAT WE NEEDWhat are you trying to figure out?
Find the situation that sounds familiar. We’ll show you how we can help.
“We’re not sure which colleges should be on the list.”
Maybe the list is too long. Maybe it’s mostly reaches. Maybe you’re wondering whether the schools actually fit academically, financially, and personally.
We look at the individual student and build a thoughtful college list with clear reasoning behind the choices.
“The Common App is overwhelming.”
There are activities to order, honors to list, testing decisions, Additional Information, and dozens of little choices that affect how the application represents your senior.
We review the student’s information and create a personalized strategy for using the Common App to represent them clearly and accurately.
“They have no idea what to write their essay about.”
Or there’s already a draft, but you’re not sure it’s showing colleges something meaningful about your senior.
We help students find the right story, develop it in their own voice, and strengthen the essay without turning it into something that sounds adult-written.
“We thought the main application was it. Now every college wants more essays.”
Why this school? Why this major? Community? Leadership? And somehow every response is supposed to add something useful without repeating the rest of the application.
We help students decide what each supplemental essay needs to accomplish and develop responses that add to the application instead of repeating it.
“We think it’s finished. We just want someone else to look at it before they hit submit.”
You may not need a full application service. You may just want experienced eyes to catch anything worth addressing before your senior submits.
Jennifer and Heather review the Activities section, Personal Statement, and Additional Information, if used. We tell you what’s working, what may need attention, and the #1 priority before submitting.
“Honestly, we don’t even know where to start.”
Maybe several things feel unfinished. Maybe you don’t know what matters most. Maybe this is your first time through the college application process and you’re not even sure what questions to ask.
Tell us where things stand. We’ll help you identify the right starting point instead of asking you to diagnose the problem yourself.
“Honestly, we don’t know what we need.”
You don’t need to understand college admissions terminology or choose a LaunchPoint service on your own.
Tell us where your senior is in the process, what’s already done, and what has you concerned. We’ll help you determine the right starting point.
HELP US FIND THE RIGHT SUPPORT We won’t recommend more support than we think you need.
