One-on-One College Planning:

Applying to competitive colleges is a process best approached through careful planning, goal-setting, and monitoring. This is how Guru Academic Advisory can help. We like to begin working with students in their freshman, sophomore, or junior year of high school, so we can chart out a course for success and monitor our progress along the way, providing support and intervention when needed. We have different package options to meet you needs. Here's an idea of how we can help you along the road to college:
  • College Fit: Working together, we will compose a comprehensive list of a minimum of 12 schools organized into three categories (Stretch, Target, and Likely) based on the best fit for you academically, socially, and financially.
  • Extracurricular Activities and Leadership: We will create a list of volunteer opportunities matched to your interests and availability as well as discuss which extra activities cultivate leadership experience. 
  • Scholarships: Support while applying to a list of more than 30 personalized scholarships matched to your unique interests and abilities in addition to access to our featured weekly scholarships. 
  • Major and Career Outlook: Figure out which areas of study are right for you, which majors make sense, and which jobs will be available to you after you graduate using professional assessments including YouScience. To read more about our approach, click here. 
  • Standardized Testing Plans: Decide whether the SAT or ACT is the best test for you. Plan when you will take each test and how you will prepare to maximize your scores. We have an exclusive list of prep options and can match your student with the right fit.  
  • Course Selection: Create a focused academic plan to carry you through your high school years and put you on the right track to the right school. 
  • Personal Statements and Supplemental Essays: Essay brainstorming, planning, and editing.
  • Resumes: Create a college-ready resume sure to impress.
  • And more, including admissions interview preparation and practice, college visit planning and processing, summer program applications, and letters of recommendation guides, all through one-to-one personalized planning.

Applying to college doesn't have to be stressful or overwhelming. We think it is well worth the investment to make sure it's done right. If you would like to set up a complimentary consultation to discuss how we can work together to apply to colleges best suited for your student, fill out the form below or give us a call using the information on our Contact page.
