THE ELLIPSIS COLLEGE COUNSELING JOURNEY

  • There’s no time like the present to change the world! Whether we’re brainstorming ideas based on your passions or helping you translate an idea into a tangible, impactful project, independent study, organization, or campaign, we come bearing more than a decade of experience in teen entrepreneurship (beginning with Ellipsis CEO Peter LaBerge’s founding of The Adroit Journal in 2010!).

  • We begin our work together by creating or reviewing your college list and making personalized suggestions based on your preferences (size, location, etc.), proposed major, and specific school programs and admissions tastes. We’ll also help you orchestrate a college visiting plan that prioritizes the right schools for you, makes full use of each location you visit, and finally will give you a transparent assessment of chances across dream schools and undiscovered schools alike.

  • How do you stand out from students with similar interests, from similar schools, hoping to study similar things? That question will center our exploration of Common App Personal Statement topics and approaches that will form a narrative connecting your interests, experiences, and aspirations. Ultimately, we’ll guide you as you identify, draft, and revise a Personal Statement that only you can write.

    We’ll then switch gears to focus on your Activities & Honors sections, ensuring that your narrative is upheld (and even elevated!), as activities and awards are selected, drafted, and ordered.

  • We’ll begin by drafting essay templates that address the most common supplemental questions, prioritizing unique approaches that reinforce the elements of your application that differentiate you from other applicants. Then, we will focus on applying these templates to Early Decision, Early Action, Restrictive Early Action, and/or Scholarship supplemental applications that are clear and focused. Ultimately, we will help you ensure that you’re commanding emotional investment from their readers, helping students get — and keep — Admissions Officers on their side.

  • Beyond solely college supplements and school-specific scholarship applications, we empower students to send focused and clear scholarship and fellowship essays that also command emotional investment. From Coca Cola Scholars to GE Reagan Scholars, we have a storied history of helping students secure scholarships that can truly change their lives.

  • Whether you’re accepted Early Action or don’t get a “yes” on the first dice roll, we’re here to make sure things work out in the Regular Decision round. We’ll begin with a sync on Early Round to review any strategic adjustments and then set off on completing Regular Decision supplements with efficiency, quality, and confidence.

  • More than half of our 2022-2023 waitlist and deferred students ultimately received offers of admission. With dual focuses on storytelling and sincerity, we help ensure that students are doing all they can to fight for a spot and turn a “maybe” into a well-deserved “yes.”
