When should a high school student begin preparing for the college application process?
Ideally, the process begins day one of high school. The classes a student takes, tell colleges a lot about their readiness and ambition. Admissions officers don’t just look at grades; they look at the story your transcript tells.

It’s not too late to get expert support. Whether you're just getting started or feeling behind, GravesGuide2College can help you navigate the application process with clarity, strategy, and confidence.

What do colleges look for besides grades and test scores?
That’s exactly where I come in. There’s so much more that matters in the admissions process—and knowing how to highlight those pieces can make all the difference. I help students uncover what sets them apart and show it clearly in every part of the application.
Do offer payment plans?
Yes! I understand that investing in college advising is a big decision for families. That’s why I offer flexible payment plans with the option to split payments over time—so you can choose the support that fits your budget and your student’s needs.
