À La Carte Services
The Comprehensive Package may be full for the 2027 school year — and honestly, that might be just fine.
Not every student needs end-to-end support. Maybe your student has a handle on most of the process but needs a second set of eyes on their essay. Maybe you want a reality check on the college list before moving forward. Maybe you just have a few specific questions and want an hour of focused time.
These are the pieces. Use what you need.
Hourly Consultation
One hour of focused guidance on whatever is most pressing — curriculum decisions, testing strategy, extracurricular planning, application review, financial aid timelines, or anything else that comes up along the way.
College List Review
Already have a list? Bring it. We'll look at it honestly — does it reflect your student, is it balanced across reach, target, and likely, and are the schools on it actually a fit?
ESSAY Review
One essay, reviewed and discussed — for message, authenticity, and whether it's doing what it needs to do. This is not ghostwriting. Your student's voice stays theirs.
APPLICATION Review
A close look at a completed application before it goes out the door — Common App, Coalition, or individual college applications.
Résumé Review
Whether it's an activities résumé for college applications or an athletic résumé for recruitment, we'll review and edit for clarity, completeness, and impact.
Interview Prep
Mock interview practice so your student walks in prepared — not rehearsed, but genuinely ready to talk about who they are and why a school is the right fit.
College List Build
Starting from scratch. A personalized list of 16–18 schools built around your student's academic profile, interests, goals, and what your family is looking for — balanced across reach, target, and likely.
Career & Major Exploration
For students who aren't sure what they want to study or where they're headed. Kismet uses the Greenwood System, a research-validated career assessment covering abilities, interests, personality, and values — with a personalized report and counselor-supported exploration sessions to help connect the dots between who your student is and where they might go.
