This program is designed for rising seniors who are new to the area or have started their search process later in their high school career.  It is for students who already have a nearly complete college list.  This accelerated program begins the summer before senior year and therefore requires more frequent meetings and is only an option if we have space available in our schedule.  This includes all the vital elements of the Comprehensive Program, except list building, in a more condensed time frame.

This Program is designed for students who are strong writers and includes everything in the Comprehensive Program but without essay or supplement assistance.  This program begins junior year and continues through graduation.
