The College Clarity Call
30 Minutes, High-Impact, No Nonsense
Most parents and students feel stuck, stressed, and flat-out overwhelmed and confused about what to do in the college process.Â
If this sounds like you, it’s not your fault. The "information" online is bottomless and contradictory.
And the advice from your guidance counselor can be one-size-fits-all, if you’ve even met with her yet.Â
This session is where we clear the fog.
In 30 minutes, we cut straight to: “What should your student be doing today to get ahead?”
Not some generic, paint-by-numbers school counselor talking points.
Not the “everyone needs a reach, target, and safety” yippety yap.
And definitely not “go cure cancer, donate a library and build six houses for the homeless in a third world country for three days.”
This session is about what your kid should do, based on who they are, what they want, their strengths, their gaps, their record…Â
…and the realities of today’s admissions landscape, which is a completely different animal compared to even five years ago, let alone when YOU applied to college!
Because here’s the painful truth no one tells parents:
If you follow the wrong strategy – or don’t HAVE a strategy – it doesn’t matter how wonderful your kid is. Â
You can fail at the admissions game, lose out on merit aid, and waste years spinning your wheels.
This session is designed to prevent exactly that.
In our 30-minute working session, we’ll:
- Identify the most effective admissions strategies given your student’s current profile
- Clarify the exact next steps that move the needle right now
- Highlight hidden opportunities for merit aid and financial aid, if applicable
- Eliminate confusion, guesswork, and “What do we do now?” paralysis caused by obsessive visits to Reddit, online parent groups and random Instagram rabbit holesÂ
- Walk away with an ACTUAL plan, not hope and crossed fingers
No generic tips. No vague advice.
Just a clear, customized roadmap that you can execute immediately.
The normal full-blown Competitive Analysis and Positioning consultation is $749, which is longer and much more involved.
This “College Clarity Session" is a shorter, working meeting. It’s $297.
It's a WORKING session.
No gimmicks, no traps, no pressure, no “surprise upsells” to our elite college advisory program.
Can I be blunt? I'm not a hard sell guy, and I have literally no idea if your kid would be a good fit for one of our advanced programs.
That's why the College Clarity Call is a standalone meeting. After we wrap, we may each decide never to meet again.
If you move forward
To maximize the impact of our time together, please send me your student’s background, transcript, extracurricular activities, college list, and any specific questions before the call, 48 hours in advance.Â
The more you give me, the sharper and more actionable our plan will be.
Here's where to go next:

P.S. I open only a tiny number of these sessions (max 4 per month) because they require time-consuming strategic thinking on my part, and I do not want to dilute their quality by offering them to everyone.Â
Plus, depending on the time of year that you’re reading this, we may be too busy with our college advisory clients.
If the booking link is live, grab a spot.
If not, it means that my dance card is currently filled or we decided not to offer these calls any longer.
I hope to speak with you soon.
