Initial 2-hour Consultation
Work Session with Student and Parent:
My first work session is 2 hours. I do not do a "meet and greet" but jump right in getting to know the student and making a plan for the upcoming school year. In the first 2-hour work session, I will:
- Interview the student to assess goals, strengths and interests
- Discuss how college admissions decisions are made (UC, CSU, private, and out of state public)
- Review academic work to date and determine if the student's academics support their goals. Students leave with a course plan for the upcoming school year
- Discuss where the student has control in the admissions process and we focus on that
- Review overall timeline for college admissions activities
- Review extra-curricular/ summer activities to date and make plan to support student goals going forward
- Discuss SAT vs. ACT vs. Subject tests and develop test prep strategy and test timeline
- Discuss my junior/ senior year package of services
