Four days. Your application complete
For the Class of 2028
For seniors who want to make meaningful progress on their applications.
There is an energy to four focused days in a room full of motivated students that simply cannot be replicated. In Boston, a small cohort works side by side with our expert team to develop compelling essays and a thoughtful, strategic approach to the entire college application. Every piece benefits from committee-style review, and our guidance continues well beyond the four days students spend with us.
Four focused days to complete your core application.
Application Boot Camp begins well before the four days. In the weeks leading up, your student works through Top Tier Admissions’ proprietary pre-Boot Camp curriculum, building their academic narrative and identifying the experiences that matter most, so the working days are spent refining and finishing rather than starting from scratch.
Before the Four Days
- Receive a Personalized Admissions Report mapping your student’s academic profile, strengths, and target-school landscape
- Begin personal consultations with a Top Tier Admissions counselor to shape their academic narrative before camp
- Get exclusive access to the ABC membership site and the full proprietary pre-camp curriculum
- Build skills and momentum through expert-led application workshops and live webinars
During the Four Days
- Finalize the Common App and activity list with confidence, making thoughtful strategic choices that strengthen the application as a whole
- Write and refine the Personal Statement and supplemental essays with real-time feedback using our proven Application Boot Camp® method
- Sharpen interview skills, finalize application strategy, and, most importantly, gain the confidence that comes from having a dedicated expert in their corner every step of the way
- Leave with a clear school list and a submission timeline they can actually execute
The Value of Expert Guidance
Your student works with our team of private counselors who understand how applications are evaluated at highly selective colleges. Drawing on years of admissions expertise and a deep understanding of what resonates in the review process, they help shape every component of the application with intention and purpose.
The guidance is rigorous, but the work remains entirely the student’s own. We provide strategic insight, thoughtful feedback, and expert review at every stage while maintaining the highest ethical standards.

Common Questions
The answers, honestly.
Still have questions? A quick conversation is often the fastest way to find the clarity you need.
Who is the Application Boot Camp Boston program for?
The Boston program is built for seniors applying this fall. If your student wants to complete their application in just four days, this is the program for them.
How is the in-person program different from the virtual one-to-one?
The curriculum, preparation, and deliverables are the same. In Boston, your student works in a small cohort with committee-style review from our full team. The virtual program delivers the same experience privately and one-on-one.
What are the dates?
The Boston program runs August 5 to 8, 2027.
How early should we enroll?
Earlier than most families expect. The cohort is limited in size, and because the pre-camp preparation is part of the program, an earlier start gives your student more time to build depth before the four days begin.
Does my student need to be in Private Counseling to attend?
No. Application Boot Camp® is open to families who are not enrolled in Private Counseling.
Where do students stay? And is the program supervised?
We warmly encourage families to stay onsite at the hotel where Boot Camp is hosted — it’s the easiest way to ensure a smooth, stress-free experience for your student. That said, families are welcome to arrange accommodations wherever works best for them.
Please note that students are required to be on premises each day from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. During those hours, your student will be fully supervised by our Top Tier Admissions team, and lunch is provided. Outside of Boot Camp hours, including evenings, mornings before 10 AM, and any time off premises, students remain the responsibility of their parents or guardians. We ask that families plan accordingly to ensure their student is safe, settled, and ready to make the most of each day.
