Why Senior Year Requires Strategy

Years of preparation — presented in one application

Our work during this phase is often curatorial in nature — helping students refine the story they are presenting, identify and address gaps, manage deadlines and milestones, and ensure that every component reflects the best of who they are and who they are becoming.

Senior year is not the time to figure things out.
It's the time to put it all together — beautifully.
