College Counseling Package
The college application process is daunting. As parents, you might feel the swarm of expectations, fears, and questions once junior year hits. It’s often hard to know exactly what, how, and when things needs to be done—and you might be a tad worried your kid doesn’t have the organization and time management skills to stay on track. You also want them set up for success in a way that makes sense for who they are, rather than squeezing themself into a version they think they need to be in order to get into college.
Uncommon’s College Counseling focuses on understanding students’ big picture—their grades, extracurriculars, and interests—and then helps them narrow down what kind of school is the right fit for them. We’ll build a comprehensive college list that melds practicality with dreams, and then guide them on how to get to where they want to go. Altogether, it’s a mashup of self-reflection, admission insights, logistics, planning, and genuine mentorship.

College Essay Package
College application essays are unique—they’re a students’ one chance to be more than a test score, grade, or GPA. Schools want to know what you care about, what challenges you might have overcome, how your identity has shaped you, and what kind of person you’ll be on their campus. Most students have probably never had to write something like this before.
It’s also a lot of work. Out of every part of the college application process, the essays and written materials take the most amount of time.
Uncommon’s College Essay Coaching guides students through brainstorming, writing, and revising their Personal Statement, Activities List, and supplemental essays. We bring clear structure, time management, and meticulous editing to every step of the process, while guiding students on how embrace the niche, the uncommon, and the beautiful—and create essays that help them stand out amongst thousands of other applicants.

You guessed it—it’s the best of both worlds. This is for students who are looking for support throughout the entire process, from creating their list of schools, filling out the Common Application, keeping track of required materials, and communicating with Admissions offices—while also learning the twists and turns of writing their college essays, receiving detailed feedback and editing, and getting everything done on time.
Uncommon’s approach is equally realistic, refreshing, relatable—and artistic, insightful, and organized. We want to bring both ease and excellence to the entire application process.
Throughout our time together, students will push their own boundaries as a writer, think more deeply about themselves and their impact on the world, and trailblaze their way to their future school.
