How It Works for our Standard Plan students

Step 1: Initial Consultation & Overgrad Setup

  • We’ll kick off with a personalized consultation to explore your student’s college and career goals. Together, we’ll craft a tailored plan to set them up for success. During this session, students will gain access to Overgrad, where we’ll guide them through key milestones—completing a career quiz, choosing a career path, and selecting at least one college to begin their journey.

​​

Step 2: Detailed Course Planning

  • In the next session after the consultation, we’ll use the career quiz to guide course planning and ensure the students are enrolled in the correct courses for their college admission path. We will also review the scholarship finder, which is designed to help uncover financial aid opportunities.

​​

Step 3: Ongoing Check-ins & Completing Milestone 

  • We’ll reach out every six months* for a progress review, making any necessary adjustments to keep your student on the right path. In between check-ins, the milestone checklist will serve as a helpful guide, allowing you to track progress and stay on course. Our goal is to provide continuous support and ensure you feel confident throughout the entire process. *Juniors will receive quarterly check-ins, and Seniors will receive monthly check-ins.
