Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ideal age to start preparing for T20 admissions?

We recommend starting as early as 7th grade. Beginning early gives students ample time to explore genuine interests, develop meaningful extracurriculars, build leadership experiences, and craft a cohesive narrative—all of which are essential for standing out in the highly competitive T20 admissions process.

How does the counseling work?

You are paired with a T20/Ivy League counselor who has successfully navigated the T20 process. Sessions are 1:1, conducted virtually, and highly focused on actionable improvements.

Is this worth it close to deadlines?

Absolutely. The final weeks are often the most critical. A focused review can transform a good application into a great one by identifying blind spots and sharpening your narrative arc.
