The experiences, education, and relationships that await will have a profound effect on the rest of your life.
Enroll in our long-term college admissions and planning packages and spend 6 - 24 months utilizing our experience and knowledge in face-to-face, email, and virtual meetings to work through the myriad issues of college selection and application. We utilize the CollegPlannerPro portal which affords students an all in one place for their admissions documents and information, allows us to streamline, track, and organize a student's paperwork and process, and allows parents to access, track, and review all the workflow and communication between Acumen and their student.
Our TRACK IT! Admissions and College Planning Curriculum is a 10-module 'course' that guides students seamlessly from self-assessment and standardized testing, to college search, essays and applications. We also work on scholarship searches, and the special requirements for NCAA athletes.
From application essays to social media, Acumen will help you organize and maximize your search, and optimize your candidacy.
