Sophomore Year
Thinking About Getting A Head Start?
Starting college planning in sophomore year gives you and your student a significant advantage. You'll have more time for strategic course selection, meaningful activities exploration, and building a strong foundation—so junior and senior year feel manageable instead of overwhelming.
I typically begin working with families in the spring of sophomore year or early junior year. This timing allows us to:
-
Plan strategically for junior year (the most important year for college admissions)
-
Explore colleges and interests without pressure
-
Build a timeline that reduces stress later
-
Make informed decisions about courses, testing, and activities

Ready to Discuss Your Specific Situation?
Every family's timeline is different. During a free consultation, we can discuss:
-
Whether now is the right time to start
-
What sophomore year planning looks like
-
How to set your student up for success in junior year
-
Whether we're a good fit to work together
I work with only 12 students in each application cycle. If you're considering starting early, let's connect.
