College application process allows students to reflect on their successes and failures. This self-discovery process is an important, but often overlooked step into a successful and confident young adulthood. We take pride in treating each advising session as an opportunity for students to master the self-awareness skill and work towards becoming the person who they truly want to be.

WHAT STUDENTS SAY
A.Z. McLean, VA
Discussing with Dr. Wu's team about my college application allowed me to distinguish my “spike” as a communicator... And because of the increasing importance of standing out in applicant pools of several thousands nowadays, identifying my spike was absolutely essential for building a strong, centralized application.
E.L Vienna, VA
Thank you so much for your guidance and advice during the past few months....I never truly took the time to stop and think about the why, the reason behind my actions. Thank you for introducing to me the concept of self-reflectance. I hope I can continue learning from you in the future.
J.G. McLean, VA
The most effective part about the essay brainstorming session we had was how you were able to draw my most redeeming qualities out and verbalize them for my understanding so I could figure out what I should write about in my essays.....Thanks to your essay revision and brainstorming process, I was able to submit essays that I could be proud of!
