Premier Boutique Consulting
Comprehensive College Consulting
For families who seek the most comprehensive and personal advising on all aspects of the college application process.
For Middle School Students and Freshmen
Felicia offers consultations for families who have questions about preparing for high school. This consultation includes a 90 minute meeting and Felicia's follow up report.
For Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors
Step One: I get to know you in an Initial Consultation which includes:
1. A pre-evaluation. I evaluate these academic and extracurricular materials:
2. An in person two hour meeting. Then you join me in a two-hour meeting – in person or online – to discuss my evaluation and thoughts, your questions and concerns, and to discuss a strategy for moving forward.
3. A follow up report and task list. Within 72 hours following our meeting, I spend two hours putting together these items: a letter in overview of my recommendations, a summary of important points and a set of individualized recommendations tailored to your specific needs. Items in this follow up document include a list of next steps, a suggested college list, tips for visiting colleges, travel suggestions, possible essay topics, an application strategy, a task list, and a timeline.
Step Two: A follow-up meeting when you need one
In the Initial Consultation, Felicia helps you to develop a strategy for exploring and developing your academic and extracurricular interests through the fall of the junior year. We then check twice a year to make sure that you are on track to take your next steps. Preparation takes a big step forward in the junior year of high school when you build a college list, prepare exams, and advance your extracurricular focus on outreach, research and internship endeavors.
Step Three: In January of the junior year, the college application process begins
In the winter of the junior year, Felicia leads you through the application process. The first phase consists of undertaking the primary tasks of the college application: refining the college list; creating a Common Application account and resume; forming a summer plan. Starting in June and continuing through November, you work individually with one of Felicia's writing advisors to draft and develop the college application essays. In August once applications go live, you continue working with your writing advisor to complete the writing of 30-45 supplement essays. At this point, Felicia oversees and helps you to manage the details of the application process, stepping in on a regular basis to see how you are progressing, to review your essays, and to make sure you are taking every opportunity to meet with admissions representatives and improve your chances of being admitted to the colleges on your list.
