While every admissions journey is different, each of them begins with a comprehensive sixty-minute consultation. During this critical first meeting, we will discuss academic and extracurricular accomplishments and aspirations as well as any sources of anxiety. Based on the information, we will design the admissions package most effective for applicant and family. The initial consultation includes a follow-up report outlining recommendations for moving forward with the admissions process.
