Grade 12
Application Review Program
An expert read before you hit submit.
A comprehensive, one-on-one assessment of your senior’s full application to their top-choice school, followed by a focused consultation so every piece works together.
One-on-one with a Private Counselor
Your full package for one top-choice college
Two decades of data-backed insights
What This Program Offers
A strong application isn’t a set of strong parts. It’s how they work together.
Does your student’s application clearly show the unique value they’ll bring to a college? Have they made the most of the Common Application’s limited opportunities to present their authentic self?
A Private Counselor reviews the full package—activities, honors, additional information, Personal Statement, and school-specific essays—for one college, making sure it communicates a clear sense of who your student is and what distinguishes them.
An Advisor Who Knows You
Not one of hundreds. You work one-on-one with a counselor who has the time to understand your record, your interests, and what you actually want out of this.
Two Decades of Perspective
We have guided thousands of students from a first-semester decision to a first job. That perspective is what makes the advice specific rather than general.
A Clear Scope
A defined engagement with a clear beginning, a clear end, and something concrete in your hands when it is done.
Who This Is For
Seniors with a top-choice school and an application nearly ready to send.
A second, expert read matters most in the weeks before submission. Here is who we can help:
- Seniors finalizing an application to their top-choice school.
- Students who want an expert, candid read by a former Admissions Officer before submitting.
- Families who want to be sure the activities, honors, and essays tell one cohesive story.
Still drafting essays? If your student needs support writing and shaping essays rather than a review of a finished package, Essay Guidance is the better fit.

Common Questions
The answers, honestly.
Don’t see your question? One conversation is usually the fastest way to a clear answer.
Who reviews my student’s application?
A Private Counselor from our team, matched to your student’s goals and timeline, conducts the full assessment and leads the consultation.
What does the review cover?
Your student’s full application package for one college: activities, honors, additional information, the Personal Statement, and that school’s supplemental essays. We look at how every piece works together, not just each piece on its own.
Can we add more than one college?
The program is built around one top-choice school. If your student needs support across several applications, we’ll talk through which program is the better fit.
How long do we have to use the program?
The program must be used within one month of purchase, so we recommend enrolling when your student’s application is close to final.
Will you rewrite my student’s essays?
No. The work remains entirely your student’s own. We provide strategic insight and candid feedback on missed opportunities, inconsistencies, and weaknesses, then help your student address them.
Need support across every application?
Private Counseling for Grade 12 offers strategy and full application support through every deadline.
