Strategy Session: Your Personalized College Roadmap

$250.00

Your 1-Hour Strategy Session is designed to provide immediate clarity, expert insight, and a customized plan of action for your family—no matter where you are in the process.

Is This Right For You?

This session is perfect for families who aren’t ready for a full-service package but need professional guidance on specific hurdles. Common topics we can discuss include:

  • College List Review: Is your list balanced? Are these schools truly a "fit" for your student’s academic and social goals?

  • High School Course Planning: Ensuring your curriculum aligns with your target major and colleges.

  • Extracurricular Strategy: How to showcase your student's authentic interests (not just "checking boxes").

  • Essay Brainstorming: Using my structured method to find the "why" behind your student's story.

  • Standardized Testing Plans: Deciding whether to test, which scores to submit, and navigating "optional" vs. "preferred" policies.

  • The "Where Do We Start?" Session: A birds-eye view of the timeline for 9th, 10th, or 11th graders.

How It Works

  1. Book Your Time. Upon purchase, you’ll select a time that works for your family. This is a "Family Discussion"—I encourage both students and parents to attend so everyone is on the same page.

  2. Share Your Details. Prior to meeting, you’ll receive a brief questionnaire. Tell me about your student’s goals, current challenges, and what you hope to achieve in our hour together. This allows us to hit the ground running the moment the call starts.

  3. The 60-Minute Deep Dive. We’ll meet via Zoom to tackle your specific questions. I’ll provide honest feedback, strategic recommendations, and professional resources tailored to your situation.

  4. Your Roadmap. Following our session, I will send a summary of our discussion and a clear "Next Steps" roadmap so you can move forward with total confidence.

Investment: $250.

Your path to college is unique. Let’s make sure it’s a path that leads to success.

Why Book a Session with DeVore College Consulting?

When you book a strategy session, you aren't just getting a 60-minute Zoom call. You are gaining access to a systematic, personalized approach that focuses on:

  • Individualized Strategy: No "cookie-cutter" advice. We dive deep into your student’s unique profile and values.

  • Expert Trends: I stay current on shifting institutional priorities so you don’t have to.

  • Reduced Stress: We replace "overwhelmed" with a clear, manageable checklist.

  • Empowered Decisions: My goal is to give you the data and confidence to make choices that excite your student.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do we have to sign up for a full package after this? Not at all. This is a standalone service designed to provide immediate value. If you later decide you’d like more intensive support, we can discuss how my 5-Phase process can work for you.

Can we focus only on the essay? Absolutely. We can use the full hour to move through my structured self-reflection process to identify a standout personal statement topic. Please note: Our session is designed for verbal brainstorming, prompt analysis, and structural planning. I do not provide written feedback, proofreading, or "polishing" of existing drafts during this one-hour strategy consult.

Who should attend? Ideally, the student and at least one parent or guardian. The best college decisions are made when the whole "support team" is informed and aligned.
