College Application Package
Phase Two: In the winter of the junior year, we guide families to undertake the primary tasks of the college application:
- Plan college visits and interviews

- Refine the college list
- Students work individually with one of Felicia's writing advisors to draft and develop the college application essays.
- Once the applications go live in August, 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.
- From August through November, you continue working with your writing advisor to complete the writing of 30-45 supplement essays.
