All the previous services offered by NCC are acutely useful; in the radically competitive world of college admissions, well-written essays and interview polish can make the difference between you and the sea of equally qualified, intelligent applicants. But at the end of the day, all these improvements are marginal; the information that matters to a university is unspinnable. Your interests, activities, intellectual curiosity, passion for service. No amount of tinkering around the edges will change these.

This service is designed for juniors and underclassmen, and unlike our other services, does not seek to repackage and advertise the student, but provide long term strategic planning for academics, extracurricular activities, research, and more, to perfectly position every client to apply to their target institution. NCC consultants will impart detailed and insightful information and spearhead the creation of a long-term plan encompassing every level of a student’s journey.

This service will provide every advantage over other applicants; you will be the type of student every college wants. The gravity of this service and its comparative effect on your chances of admission, your resume, and your intellectual capability cannot be overstated.

This service changes lives. We look forward to changing yours.

No matter where you are in the college application process, our general consultation helps align your wants and needs with the wants of college admissions. Whether an applicant is knee deep in their college search, or doesn’t even know where to start, we help with every step of the process, including determining which colleges are right for you, deciphering holistic admissions, brainstorming essays, and any other concerns or questions you may have about the college process.

Getting started early is the best way to make sure that when the crunch time of application season comes around, you know what you want, how to get it, and are truly prepared to do so.

One of the biggest parts of any college application is writing the essays. Each essay, no matter how long or short, is important in the eyes of a college in deciding an applicant’s status. Especially when applying to many colleges, it can be easy to get lost; in our essay consulting, we will read your essays and add comments for improving them and helping them best show an applicants’ life. We will also provide for no further cost example essays of similar length of students who were successfully admitted into Princeton University along with commentary on their goals and purpose.

Holistic college admissions means that there is no single thing that admissions counselors look for. We will help applicants curate the non-essay segments of their application, in particular their extracurriculars, activities, and honors sections, to better tell the applicants’ story. We can also go over general admissions and application questions.

Interviews can be a major source of stress for applicants. Most interviews are done by alumni; by participating in a mock interview with us, applicants can practice answering common interview questions, gain confidence for their interview, and increase their confidence in alumni conversations.

Our mock interview is designed not just to make you more comfortable, however. Before the interview, we will discuss how to best prepare for one and how to act and get your message across to the interviewer. During the interview, we will provide feedback to each question, making sure that the applicant is prepared at every level for it.
