Little Fish

College Consulting Package for Freshman Year

The transition into high school is the foundational moment for any successful college application. Our Little Fish package is expertly designed to jumpstart the admissions journey, providing younger students with the clarity and direction they need to build a standout profile from day one. This proactive approach ensures that students aren’t just reacting to requirements later on, but are strategically preparing to become a Big Fish” in the college applicant pool.

Typically consisting of two to three intensive strategy meetings, this package also provides continuous support through email and telephone consultations to ensure all immediate questions are answered.

Key Components of the Little Fish Package:

  • Comprehensive Academic Review: We perform a deep dive into the student’s current academic record, identifying strengths and areas for growth to ensure they are on the right track.
  • Strategic Course Selection: Expert advice on choosing the right classes (AP, Honors, or IB) that challenge the student while maintaining a competitive GPA.
  • Extracurricular & Summer Planning: Recommendations on meaningful involvement in clubs, sports, and volunteer work, along with high-impact summer programs that reflect the student’s true interests.
  • Early Testing Roadmap: Personalized testing recommendations and timelines for the SAT, ACT, and other assessments to avoid last-minute stress.
  • Goal Setting: Establishing early milestones that build confidence and a strong organizational habit for the years ahead.
