CONSULTING PACKAGES

Through her Comprehensive College Planning program, Mary has guided hundreds of high school students through successful college searches. The Comprehensive full-service consulting relationship typically starts in the sophomore or junior year, and continues through the final stages of college selection.

However, some families and students might not want such intensive advising. To offer more flexible options, Mary also offers two package options on a space-available basis. 

Bundle of 10 Sessions ( starting in grades 9-11 )

For motivated students who are capable of working independently in the college research and list development process, but who know they would like expertise and support at key stages of their college voyage, the 10-session package might be a suitable option.  

Contact Mary for more information. 

Summer Applications Package : 4 Sessions (May - September only)

Each spring and sualls and inquiries from parents of rising seniors concerned about the application process and anxious to have some support for their students in the summer. The Summer App package adresses that need.

Four sessions are scheduled at appropriate intervals, tailored to each student's unique goals and situation. Students work on specific applicaiton tasks between meetings and submit work to Mary before the next Zoom meeting, creating an efficient structure to maximize the summer months.  

The initial session, one hour long, should include one or both parents/guardians. 

She will review the students' academic profiles and current college lists and suggest ideas for balancing them. She will also discuss visit planning, researching colleges, demonstrating interest, and application strategies, and address any questions from parents and students.

The three subsequent meetings are  30-minute Zoom sessions with the student and Mary. She will guide them through specific app steps and assign deadlines to complete particular tasks.
