  • Demonstrate the relationship between personality, academic interests, and career
  • Outline their post-graduate plan and their personalized timeline
  • Complete a draft personal statement and a polished resume

    • ​College match - a college that a student academically is likely to get into 
    • College fit - a college that student feels personally connected to based on other indicators such as size, demographic, location, etc.
