PATHFINDER PACKAGE (Most Popular)

Service Description

Pathfinder is designed for families who want to start early enough to be strategic, but focused enough to stay practical. Beginning in 11th grade, we build a junior‑year roadmap that aligns courses, testing, and activities with your student’s long‑term goals. We clarify priorities, shape a preliminary college list, and develop a testing plan (PSAT/SAT/ACT) so decisions around when and what to take are intentional—not reactive. Alongside this, we refine your student’s extracurricular positioning, highlighting depth, leadership, and impact instead of a long, unfocused list. As senior year approaches, Pathfinder transitions into full application support, including essay strategy and feedback, activity list development, and early decision/early action planning. We guide your student through teacher recommendation choices, help them prepare for interviews, and maintain momentum with regular check‑ins throughout junior year. By the time applications go out, they’ve had months of structured preparation, a strong narrative, and a clear plan for each deadline rather than a compressed, last‑minute rush.
