How should I prepare for the college consultation call?

There is no required preparation. If you have taken the initiative to schedule a consultation, you are ready for the conversation.

That said, the more context you bring, the more specific the discussion can be. A current transcript or academic summary is helpful. A preliminary school list, if one exists, allows us to assess competitive positioning. Standardized test scores, if available, provide an additional data point. An activity list or resume — even an informal one — gives us a faster read on where the profile’s strengths and gaps may lie.

If you come with none of that, the call can still be productive. We will work with whatever information is available and help identify appropriate next steps. Most important is to bring questions — about the process, our methodology, the client’s situation, or concerns raised by prior research or conversations with other firms. We would rather focus on what is genuinely on your mind than recite information readily available on the website.
