Year-Long Packages
One-on-One Consulting Services
Full-service, unlimited advising through every stage of the college admissions process.
Comprehensive support, from first conversation to final decision
These programs are for families who want comprehensive, ongoing support. Not just at application crunch time, but throughout the entire process. Both packages include all three stages of my process: Self-Discovery, Explore & Match, and Apply.
Like every Story Fingerprint™ service, these programs are built on a simple belief: your student's story is as unique and unrepeatable as a fingerprint. The earlier we start, the more fully it can take shape.
The difference between the two programs is when we begin. The Upper-Level Student Package starts in junior year, when the application timeline is active. The Early High School Package begins in freshman or sophomore year, giving your student time to build the experiences and self-awareness that make a more compelling application.
Both programs include coaching throughout the year, and parents and students can contact me as often as needed.
Choose When to Start
Both programs deliver the same depth of support. The Early High School Package simply gives us more time to craft a compelling application.
