Congratulations! You made it to senior year!
Potentially Tough Question: Where are you going to
go at the end of senior year?
If you’re not certain yet, now’s the time to think
about it! If you’ve been thinking about it and not
taking action, now is the time to take action!
If you’re caught in one of those uncomfortable
circles, where you know you ought to be taking
action to complete those college apps, but you’re
certain what needs to be done first, and you really
don’t have time because you need to get this
homework done, now is the time you should call or
email me!
Some of the main topics and services I offer Seniors:
- Brainstorming potential universities and major
interests
- Developing reasonable, achievable goals from
brainstorming
- Planning and organizing applications & related
materials
- Essay brainstorming and proof-reading
- Timeline mapping for Early Admission application
and/or standard admission applications
- Interview Practice for college admissions
In addition to college application preparation, I can
also focus on obtaining financial aid. Some services
for this include:
- Identifying viable scholarships and grants based on
students’ interests and background
- planning and organizing scholarship/financial
aid/grant materials
- timeline of application due dates and elimination
rounds
- Assistance completing FAFSA
- Essay Brainstorming and proofreading
Depending on what you want to accomplish with me,
I organize a multi-week program/timeline that
completes all tasks by the last application due-date.
For most universities, this is January 1st for standard
admission and November 1st for Early Admission.
In most cases, I work with students for one hour,
once a week, for as many weeks as desired. I offer
the first 30 minute meeting free, where we outline
goals and limitations with both you and your parents
present. During the week, I contact parents by phone
or email to keep them updated and hear their
concerns or questions. However, I am very flexible
and can easily shift to meet your needs.
While we work with the timeline to meet your goals
in a timely fashion, I’m also available for simply
asking first-hand experience questions about colleges,
or helping you contact resources for information. I’ve
discovered that part of using your time effectively is
walking in armed with as much information as
possible. Many times, there are vast resources
available to help you sort out what you want or
achieve what you need, but if you don’t know where
to look, they can be quite elusive! As a recent
graduate, I’m familiar with hunting up those hidden
resources, from talking with a student group to
emailing a nearby alumni to navigating the official
(and unofficial) websites.
If you are curious about how I can help you, or
interested in scheduling an meeting, please give me a
call or send me an email (jcg1563@gmail.com)! I
look forward to hearing from you!
