Some students, even after “Crafting Your College Application” summer camp, seek additional individual help on specific applications and supplements for their college applications. Fall counseling for seniors is available only for students who attended “Crafting Your College Application” during the summer, and is structured into two distinct sessions. I meet with each student individually once each week during the session, the same day and time each week. Meetings can be in-person at my home or online via Zoom.

Students can register for either session, or for both.

• • Session 1 includes five weekly meetings and is intended for students aiming for Early Action and Early Decision. Students can work on as many as 4 or 5 applications.
  • Session 2 includes four weekly meetings and is targeted toward Regular Decision applications. Students can work on as many as 4 or 5 applications.

Sessions are complete for 2025 — check back later for Fall 2026!

Weekly hour-long individual counseling sessions are supplemented by feedback and editing via email during the week between meetings. Expect to work hard during this time on your essays — we are aiming for beautiful and interesting applications! I often rely on Paul Rivas as editor during the fall, so you may also be meeting with him via Zoom during your fall session.

Some schools have November 30 application deadlines (University of California, University of Washington, University of Texas, and certain other state schools, as well as the special scholarship deadline at the University of Southern California). If you want to work on one of those applications with me, let me know, and we will come up with an appropriate schedule.

Parents are always welcome to attend meetings or ask questions.

Please note: I do not accept students for individual counseling the fall of senior year unless they have previously attended my summer camp. The fall program is for students who have successfully completed “Crafting Your College Application.”
