Admissions Essay Review with Real Impact

Your college essay is often the first impression a school gets. We help you make it count.
Our team offers in-depth reviews for spelling, grammar, tone, and structure—with the insight of someone who’s sat in an admissions office.
We don’t write it for you—we teach you how to make it great.

FAFSA & CSS Profile Filing

Getting financial aid starts with filing the FAFSA and, for many private colleges, the CSS Profile. Errors or inconsistencies between the two forms can trigger delays or even cost you aid.

We don’t leave it up to chance. We file these forms on your behalf, ensuring they’re accurate, aligned, and submitted early to maximize your student’s eligibility.

Understanding and Reducing Your SAI

SAI (Student Aid Index) is what colleges think you can afford to pay. If it’s too high, you could miss out on financial aid—even if your situation says otherwise.

We review your full financial picture, recommend legal strategies to lower your SAI, and help you qualify for more free money.

Appeal Award Letters to Get More Aid

The first offer isn’t always the best offer. If a school’s financial aid package falls short, we guide you through a professional appeal—using real numbers, competing offers, and strategic positioning to request additional scholarships or grants.

College Search & Expert Counseling

We don’t just help you find schools—we help you find the right fit.
With one-on-one coaching, we match your student to colleges that align academically, socially, and financially. We go deeper than basic rankings:

• Search includes over 2,500 four-year colleges

• Sort by fit, graduation rates, and financial generosity

• Learn which schools will pay your student to attend

Essay Coaching, Interview Prep & Application Strategy

Applying to 10+ schools is overwhelming. We help manage it all:

• Build custom timelines and track key deadlines

• Coordinate teacher recs, essays, transcripts, and forms

• Prep for admissions interviews with real questions and mock sessions

• Monthly check-ins with students and families to keep things on track

College List Building & Research Sessions

Once your student is matched with the right schools, we help them narrow down the final list of 8–15 colleges to apply to.

We look beyond surface-level rankings to find schools where your student will thrive—and where you’ll get the best return on investment.

Support with Student Loans

When loans are part of the plan, we guide you through the options.
We help you understand federal vs. private loans, repayment structures, and strategies to borrow only what you need—while keeping long-term costs manageable.
