Comprehensive College Planning Packages

We will start working with students as early as 8th grade and stay with them through graduation. The earlier we engage, the greater impact we can have on achievement, happiness, and college admissions. We work with 8th, 9th, and 10th graders to develop educational plans including course selection, activities, and summer enrichment. During 11th and 12th grades we will develop a college list, write essays, and complete college applications.

ThriveAdmission’s roster is full for the high school classes of 2027 and 2028. We still have capacity for new clients in the classes of 2029 and 2030.

We offer three Comprehensive College Planning Packages: 40 hours, 55 hours, or 75 hours. The packages with more hours are best-suited to students applying to highly selective schools, recruited student athletes, or students who often need additional guidance with any large project. We typically bill in two installments — half due around the initial time of signing and half the summer before senior year.

A La Carte Services

You also have the ability to pay an hourly rate to get specific help on any part of the college application process. If you purchase a package and need additional hours, you will receive a 10% discount.

We are so glad we found ThriveAdmission and really don’t know how people do this on their own.
