The JDK Philosophy is simple: with the right guidance and support, students can feel confident about owning their own college process; invaluable preparation for the entire college experience.
Through hourly consulting sessions, JDK College Consulting provides each client with:
- Personal guidance from application to admission
- A refined college list of likely, target and reach schools
- Understanding and completion of the Common Application
- Final and polished college essays
- A college-ready résumé and interview skills
- Help finding and applying for financial aid and scholarships
- Access to exclusive college and financial information
In addition, each student will be given the JDK College Handbook to help them brainstorm, think critically and practice writing and interview skills throughout the program. The Handbook is a compilation of over 80 pages that will be used throughout the program to assist in brainstorming activities, hone organizational methods and provide essential college application information and instructions. The book will be the student’s to keep after the program has concluded.
Most students will need from 12 to 20 consulting sessions each year, though less or more may be required depending on the student and his/her goals. In the end, students will have completed all of the college application elements to their satisfaction and feel empowered to own this process and proud of their college decision.
