First Step: College-Specific Gap Analysis (GAP)™

Each package is custom-built based on your College-Specific Gap Analysis™ (GAP). Some families find this single meeting provides the complete roadmap needed to navigate their process independently until we reunite for college applications. Should you require further guidance, the GAP provides total clarity on whether hourly support or a right-sized package is the optimal path to your goals.

Package Benchmarks


Our packages are highly adaptable, accommodating everything from discreet, low-visibility maneuvers for introverts to high-visibility leadership initiatives for extroverts. Whether your student’s gaps are academic, extracurricular, intellectual, or a combination, we right-size the engagement to meet the demands of specific colleges' expectations.

We model your actual child's roadmap in the GAP session. The milestones below serve as illustrative benchmarks to show what a custom-designed package can achieve. However, much like siblings, no two students have the same baseline, capabilities, interests, or HeroType™. Your child may advance faster than the benchmarks below, and packages may bypass stages to focus elsewhere, like clinical or scientific research. We personalize your package to fit your student’s unique personality strengths, pace, and goals.

3 to 10 Hours: Laying the Strategy & Direction
Goal: Reach Colleges with 10% – 20% Lower Admit Rates Than Your Baseline

✓ Smarter Course Selection: Calibrate course selection to achieve competitive rigor within the context of your specific high school environment.
✓ Personal Brand: Define your proprietary "HeroType" to begin building a distinct brand of exceptionalism.
✓ Standing Out: Separate yourself from applicants with identical titles and activities.
✓ Clear Roadmap: Execute a roadmap for the academic year and high-leverage summer opportunities.
✓ Summer Strategy (Optional): Integrate external validation, such as summer program placement or internship outreach.

The Result: The student moves from "talking about college" to "executing the roadmap." At this stage, action steps are defined, and the student begins closing the specific narrative gaps that stall most applicants.


12 to 15 Hours: Building Leadership & Impact
Goal: Reach Colleges with 30% – 40% Lower Admit Rates Than Your Original Baseline

✓ Test & Grade Strategy: Establish "study smart" protocols and SAT/ACT score thresholds to ensure academic viability.
✓ Teacher Recommendations: Strategically manage professional relationships with teachers to secure tier-one letters of recommendation.
✓ Study Habits: Build subject-specific study rituals that sustain top-tier performance without burnout.
✓ Beyond Titles: Move beyond standard titles and "expected participation" by channeling your HeroType™ into unique contributions.
✓ Hands-on Projects: Launch initiatives that demonstrate tangible leadership and the ability to turn abstract ideas into community impact.

The Result: The student becomes independently motivated and self-propelling. Meetings become strategic check-ins as the student begins leading projects and mentors autonomously.


20 Hours: Standout Projects & Ivy-Level Profile
Goal: Reach Colleges with 50% Lower Admit Rates Than Your Original Baseline

✓ Connecting Interests: Connect disparate academic fields to meet the sophisticated intellectual "bar" of Ivy+ admissions
✓ Research & Portfolios: Develop multidisciplinary research projects or tangible portfolios that demonstrate deep curiosity.
✓ Signature Project: Design and execute a "Legacy Project"—high or low visibility—that leaves a permanent footprint on the community.
✓ Application Positioning: Package reflections from the entire journey for the college application.

The Result: The student is now an emerging leader in their chosen field. The focus shifts to widening systemic impact and perfecting the narrative that will define their legacy.


How Packages Work: These planning packages focus on profile building. Final college application execution is handled separately via hourly support ($350/hr) or a dedicated college application package.

Additional Support: Extra hours may be added at the discounted rate of $300/hr.

How Hours Are Managed: Your time balance is dedicated to live 1-on-1 meetings. Routine administrative check-ins and email updates initiated by us and built into our homework's action steps are complimentary. However, hours may be applied for urgent phone coaching, time-sensitive analysis, or emergency email responses initiated by the client between meetings.

Unused Hours: Can be converted into a cash value credit and applied towards college application services.
