High School Road Maps

High school academic advisors typically have heavy caseloads of students and do not have the time to personalize a plan for your child. After spending time assessing your student’s intentions, goals and plans, we analyze their high school transcripts and provide recommendations of high school courses that might be best suited to meet these objectives. Colleges are weighting extracurricular activities more heavily in the decision-making process and we provide guidance on the activities that will best showcase your child’s strengths, passions and potential career paths. Additionally, we provide advice on the SAT and ACT. We will:

• Analyze past high school courses and recommend future courses, aligned with the student’s college goals
• Map out courses to ensure they have met the academic requirements of the schools to which they potentially apply
• Prioritize which classes should be taken in AP, Honors or IB, so that a student can have a manageable coursework load, while maintaining “good” grades
• Explain how colleges give credit to AP and IB classes
• Discuss current scores from SAT or ACT (or practice scores), which test might be most appropriate and how to adequately prepare, within the most suitable timeline
• Review past and present extracurricular activities
• Reflect on ways to further enhance a student’s interests through their extra-curriculars
