When families usually need help
- → The college list is mostly reach schools
- → Deadlines are getting close
- → Parent and student disagree about the plan
- → Essays feel generic, unfinished, or unclear
- → Cost, fit, location, or admissions odds feel uncertain
- → No one knows the smartest next step
College admissions mistakes usually happen before families realize they are making them. Sarah helps identify what is missing, what is misaligned, and what needs to happen next.
How to get started
Every session is a 60-minute private virtual consultation. Sarah reviews your student's information before the session so the time is focused on strategy, not intake. You leave with a written action plan and clear next steps. Sessions are available in English or Spanish.
