Applying to college is stressful for student and family alike. What we hear most often from WP families is that our team served as a buffer, translator, or guide to make the process easier. We may be saying the same things, but teenagers are tough, and sometimes they just don’t want to hear it from Mom or Dad. Avoid the fights and let us move them along in the process, while you cheer them on and take them on campus visits.

Our experienced college coaches can help develop a college list, search through majors and programs, work through the many essays, and keep the student on track and accountable. We are available to answer any questions you may have about the process - and we realize that every student’s journey is unique, so we have a talented team of coaches who can help with applying to art schools, military academies, or competitive pre-med programs.
