Admissions Offering

From College Coach

Many of our advisors came to us from prestigious private high schools, including single-gender schools, boarding schools, religiously affiliated schools, and international high schools. They understand the inner workings of these institutions and know what private school admissions committees look for in applicants.

Look to your dedicated advisor for help with:

• The Process: Curricular and extracurricular planning, letters of recommendation, and testing timelines
• Organization: Establishing deadlines, managing requirements, and breaking the process into manageable tasks
• List Analysis: Evaluation of whether your student’s school list is balanced and achievable
• Essay Review*: Guidance on developing an essay-writing strategy that includes time for brainstorming and reviewing work
• Interview Preparation: Practice interviews with feedback
• Visit Guidance**: Expectations and guidelines for campus tours
• Parent Assistance: Completing the application, preparing for your own interviews and essays, and understanding the parent's role in the private school admissions process

*Essay assistance not available for any independent school specifically prohibiting outside help
