For Families with Students in Grades 12
Build Applications. Manage Deadlines. Choose with Confidence.
Senior year is when years of preparation come together. Students are finalizing college lists, writing essays, managing deadlines, and making decisions that shape their next chapter.
The Senior Summit program provides high-touch, individualized guidance throughout the entire application cycle.
Our work during this phase is often curatorial in nature, helping students refine the story they are presenting, identify and address gaps, manage milestones, and ensure that every component reflects the best of who they are and who they are becoming.
The result: a thoughtful application portfolio, a manageable process, and a student prepared to make confident enrollment decisions.
Why Strategic Support Matters
Senior year moves quickly. Applications, essays, deadlines, financial decisions, and admissions responses arrive within months. Structured guidance helps students:
Manage multiple applications and timelines
Refine their personal narrative
Present their experiences thoughtfully
Evaluate admissions and financial decisions
At this stage, the work becomes curatorial and strategic, ensuring the student's story is presented clearly and effectively.

Built by Leaders Who've Been on Both Sides
Our curriculum was developed by professionals with decades of experience inside university admissions and financial aid. Our counselors bring expertise across public and private institutions, NCAA recruitment, and arts and conservatory admissions.
We didn't learn this from textbooks. We learned it from sitting across from thousands of families — and seeing which ones had the conversations early enough to make them count.

A thoughtful and complete application portfolio
