August 2026 cohort · A real person reads every application → Apply

The whole application, worked through with you

The school list, the deadlines, the CSS Profile, the aid forms, the recommender logistics. All of it. What we will not do is write your essay, draft your teacher’s letter, or invent an activity for you to have done. Those are the parts that stop working the moment someone else does them.

Everything the application asks of you

  1. University list

    Reach, target and safety schools, built around what your family can actually spend. We will argue with you about it.

  2. Essays

    Personal statement and every supplement, first draft to last, with line-level feedback. We do not write them. The words stay yours, which is the same rule the writing class runs on.

  3. Deadlines and paperwork

    Common App, CSS Profile, transcripts, aid forms. Dull work, and the kind a family doing this for the first time loses money by getting wrong.

  4. What your record shows

    We go through what you have done and argue with you about what it adds up to. You draw the conclusion and you write it down. If it does not survive the evidence, we say so.

  5. Extracurriculars

    Advice on what is worth your time. We will not found a nonprofit for you or buy you a research placement.

  6. Recommendation letters

    Who to ask, when, and what the letter should cover. We do not draft it for your teacher.

  7. Research and summer programs

    Guidance on which ones are worth applying to. Two of ours went to Pioneer and Lumiere.

The one we don’t: we will not write your essay, draft your teacher’s letter, invent an activity for you to have done, or rehearse your interview answers. Those are the line items most full-service consultants price highest. When a reader can tell an essay was shaped by a paid adult, it tends to read that way.

Pay in a way that tracks your results.

Option 1: Upfront

A single full payment at the start of the program.

Option 2: Paid in stages

A first payment before acceptances, a second once you receive your acceptances, and a final payment after visa approval, so the cost follows your outcomes.

There is no single price to publish. What Full Support costs depends on how much of the application is still ahead of you, and that is different for every student. Apply and you get a number.
