How early should we start college admissions prep with your team?

As early as you’re ready—and sooner than you probably think. College admissions isn’t a sprint; it’s more like training for a decathlon while juggling a full class schedule, violin practice, and Model UN. Starting early allows us to guide your child through smart academic choices, purposeful extracurriculars, and meaningful summer plans.

For some families, that means starting in 9th or 10th grade. For others, the process begins in junior year. We tailor our approach to where your student is now and where they want to go. The earlier we start, the more time we have to build depth, not just check boxes. Plus, starting early reduces stress in the long run—no more frantic essay writing over Thanksgiving break or discovering a missed deadline the night before it’s due. Whether you’re ahead of the game or just getting started, we’re ready to jump in and get to work.
