College Admissions & Essay Services

"I just wanted to thank you for the work you put in to conceptualizing my daughter's personal statement. We submitted a couple of applications today and after obsessively reading her statement hundreds of times I got tears in my eyes as it so beautifully captures the essence of who she is."

The mission of A-List’s college advising is to take the stress and confusion out of the application process and to help students gain acceptance into the colleges of their choice.

In an effort to identify the right match for a student, we pay particular attention to each student’s personal interests, career goals, social considerations, extracurricular activities and leadership roles. We will help you to stay informed and on track by:

  • Assessing each student’s college selection
  • Arranging and planning college visits
  • Gathering key application materials
  • Creating a checklist of requirements and deadlines
  • Helping students craft insightful college application essays
  • Creating resumes and activity sheets that effectively highlight activities, awards and other experiences
  • Conducting mock college interviews to boost confidence and refine communication skills prior to on-campus or alumni interviews

A-List is committed to guiding both students and parents through the often daunting college application process.

If you would like to know how colleges are planning to use the SAT in the college admission process, The College Board has created The SAT Score-Use Practices List, which provides an alphabetical listing of college and scholarship programs that have submitted their procedures for enrollment.
