What’s Included
Yearly College Application Plan
Lenox Ed consultants conduct a full, in-depth interview to understand the unique background, previous educational experiences, and personal goals that will drive your child’s future. Then, we will build a detailed, step-by-step plan that will help the college-bound student stay focused and motivated throughout the year, including the summer months.
Most college counseling services place a student with just one counselor for all parts of the application process. However, we don’t believe that one person can be an expert in all areas, and that is why–at Lenox Ed–you and your child will have an entire team of specialists behind you for each portion of the application process. Our mission is to make your child’s personal values, passions, and achievements set them apart from the crowd, and since your child’s applications will pass through the hands of about six of our consultants, you can be sure we have looked at all apps through a variety of critical lenses.
Though most clients purchase these packages simply for essay consultation, you may use any or all of the services listed below as part of your academic plan. Up to 40 hours of one-on-one consulting time at any mutually agreed upon time throughout the entire year can be used for any of the following services:
Powerhouse Project
Based on your child’s interests, school list, and area of study, we will help brainstorm, outline, begin, and monitor your child’s progress in building an entrepreneurial venture (usually an LLC), patented invention, or volunteer organization (club or 501(c)3) that will shine on their applications.
