College Counseling

Aspire Prep’s College Counseling program provides students a hand to hold through the often overwhelming and ever-changing admissions process.

We take this responsibility very seriously, working closely with each student and their support team: parents, teachers and school counselors/advisors. We understand how important these decisions feel for students: how many APs to take, which extracurriculars to pursue, who to ask for recommendations, when to contact Admissions reps, what stories will best reveal character and depth.

Aspire understands that college counseling requires patience, trust, and understanding. Recognizing the time and emotional investment required to honor each student's process, Kate never takes on more than 10 students per year. This is a partnership, and one she takes very seriously.

Families should feel confidence that the counselor you've entrusted with such important decisions are giving you everything they have. We are there to explain, support, and guide students through critical parts of the process, including:

SCHOOL RESEARCH AND SELECTION

EARLY AND REGULAR DECISION STRATEGY

ACADEMIC AND STANDARDIZED TEST PLANNING

EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITY AND COMMUNITY SERVICE ACCENTUATING

ESSAY WRITING

ADMISSIONS AND ALUMNI INTERVIEW COACHING

FINANCIAL AID NAVIGATION

Aspire Prep works with each student to assess his or her academic, extracurricular, and personal strengths. We give our hearts and time to each family to make sure that your options at the end of the process are best suited to your goals and financial needs.
