A single team for the entire process.
Families who work with us do not have to assemble their own team of counselors, tutors, editors, and mentors. We bring the right people together for your student and coordinate their work through a single senior advisor.
1:1 College Counseling
A senior advisor works closely with your student from start to finish, helping them shape a thoughtful school list, organize the calendar, draft applications, prepare for interviews, and make a confident final decision.
The Aquinas Readiness Index™
Our holistic profile review, covering academics, testing, activities, voice, and presentation. We update it each semester so families always have a clear sense of where things stand.
The Aquinas Methodology™
Our six-part framework, applied gradually across the high school years, that helps a strong student become a thoughtful and well-prepared applicant.
Admissions Committee Mock Review™
A panel of former admissions officers reads your student's completed application and returns a written committee response within ten business days.
Essay & Personal Statement
Twenty or more essays each cycle, drafted with a senior editor at the student's side. Every word is written by the student, and every revision is done by hand.
Interview Preparation
Mock interviews with former admissions officers and Ivy alumni interviewers, recorded and then reviewed together with the student.
Supplemental & Scholarship Drafting
Careful planning and editing for school-specific supplements, honors college applications, and national scholarship competitions.
SAT & ACT Preparation
A thorough diagnostic, a custom plan, and instructors who have themselves scored at the highest levels of these exams.
Subject Tutoring
Experienced instructors across AP, IB, and advanced coursework in the sciences, mathematics, humanities, and classical languages.
Community-College Credit Strategy
Dual-enrollment and credit-transfer planning, used carefully where it makes academic and personal sense for the student.
Executive-Function Coaching
Calendars, study systems, and the daily habits that allow a bright student to do their best work without being overwhelmed.
The Distinctive Endeavor™
A multi-year project, initiative, or body of work that becomes the heart of a student's application and the work they will be remembered for.
Research & Publications
Long-term mentorship with PhDs and faculty that helps students produce original research and publish in respected student journals.
Art & Creative Portfolio Development
Portfolio guidance for writers, visual artists, musicians, filmmakers, and architects applying to leading conservatories and programs.
Business & Venture Setup
For students with serious entrepreneurial interests, we help with everything from entity formation and brand identity to early customers.
Internship Placements
Thoughtful introductions at firms, laboratories, hospitals, galleries, and chambers within our professional network.
Mentor & Letter Network
Introductions to teachers and professionals who can mentor a student over years and write the kind of letters that come from a real relationship.
Athletic Recruiting
For students pursuing Ivy League and Stanford athletic programs, we help with positioning, coach outreach, pre-reads, and offer review.
The Aquinas Portal™
Our private client portal, with a parent dashboard, document vault, calendar, and live Readiness Index reports, available to families at any time.
Parent Counsel & Briefings
Quarterly written briefings and a dedicated line for parents. We work for the family, and we keep the family informed.
Career Coaching, Post-Admission
Internship strategy, recruiting, fellowship applications, and graduate planning, for as long as a family wishes to continue with us.
