A separate Florida-focused pathway · Grades 9–12

The Sunshine Package

For Florida families whose college plans focus primarily on in-state public and private universities. Students can begin as early as 9th grade for academic planning, activity development, Florida-specific strategy, and eventual application support—or join later for focused application-year guidance.

Collegiate advising

What happens after the acceptance letter

Getting in was never the finish line. We've said that from the start, and we mean it enough to stick around. College is four more years of decisions, choosing a major, questioning one already picked, starting to think seriously about graduate or professional school, and we work with a limited number of current students on exactly that. Same steady, honest guidance as before but just a later chapter.

What this can look like in practice:

  • A student who thought they wanted pre-med and isn't sure anymore, and needs help figuring out what's actually true versus what feels safe to admit
  • Building a personal statement and target list for law school, grad school, or a professional program
  • Deciding between a study abroad semester and a research position when there's only time for one
  • Getting back on solid footing after a rough semester or academic probation, with an actual plan instead of just a warning
  • Learning how to use office hours, an academic advisor, or a letter of recommendation request without winging it
  • Course and major planning that keeps a degree on track when the original plan stops making sense

The investment

Two engagement options.

We offer two engagement formats. Our comprehensive counseling programs are designed for families seeking long-term partnership and personalized guidance throughout the admissions process. These engagements typically begin in the five-figure range, with our Sunshine Package for Florida families starting at a lower investment.

We also offer hourly consultation rates for students and families seeking targeted support or joining us later in the admissions journey. We share this upfront because we believe transparency is an important part of every relationship. If our approach and investment feel like the right fit, we'd be honored to partner with your family.

A good fit if...

Your family wants both expertise & humanity.

  • You want honest, individualized guidance—not generic advice.
  • Your student benefits from calm structure and clear next steps.
  • You value authentic writing over manufactured narratives.
  • You want a counselor who can see both the strategy and the student.
