Grade 10 Counseling

Build a profile with depth.

Top colleges aren’t looking for a laundry list of activities thrown together at the 11th hour. They are looking for sustained passion and impact. Tenth grade gives time to map out a multi-year strategy. With early guidance, sophomores can identify their unique spike, lock in foundational prerequisites for advanced summer programs, and position themselves for major leadership roles. Give your students the runway they need.
