A 90-minute working session with a written plan afterward.

Bring grades, activities, a rough school list if you have one, and the questions that have been circling. We will leave with:

• A realistic read on the file
• A first-pass school list (reach, target, likely)
• The two or three essay directions worth exploring
• A calendar for the next 12 weeks

This is the right first step if you are not sure you need a full partnership, or if junior year still has room to change the story.

After the call you receive a 2 to 3 page memo. If you later join the Application Year Partnership, the intensive fee is credited.
