How it works

Four moves. One disciplined method.

The same steps, whether you’re a family planning college or a college planning its next decade.

STEP 01

Name the goal

We agree on what success looks like — in writing — before any work begins.

STEP 02

See where you stand

For families: the College Fit Survey. For institutions: an honest audit.

STEP 03

Do the work together

Sessions on the cadence you can keep — monthly for families, weekly when deadlines press.

STEP 04

Cross the finish

Acceptance letters. A submitted self-study. An adopted plan. The documents stay yours.

For families

My daughter applied to twelve schools and got into nine, including her top three. What we paid Donna was a small fraction of what one boutique counselor quoted us for less work.

We needed a five-year plan that would survive a leadership transition. She gave us a document the board approved unanimously and a process the next director can keep running.
