Early Start Comprehensive College Admissions Package
Intended for 8th and 9th grade students.
At Spivey College Consulting, we believe in a comprehensive college counseling process that begins as early as possible. This is not to cause anxiety or promote unnecessary mania about college admissions. Rather, it is important for parents to understand that the academic coursework students take in ninth grade will ultimately impact the rest of the high school four year plan. And, the coursework students take in high school is ultimately the most important factor in college admissions. We meet with freshman to help draft the high school four year plan, including helping students to identify extra-curricular activities in which they might be involved. We can meet at he hourly rate with freshmen or can you purchase the package deal at a huge discount. This package would be up to 65 hours over 4 years.
8th/9th grade Meeting(s), the student and parent(s) - up to 10 hours
10th Grade Meeting(s), the student and parent(s) - up to 15 hours
This portion of the package is intended to begin in August of a student's junior year and continue through graduation from high school. In addition to the components listed below, it also includes unlimited text, email, and phone calls to Mrs. Spivey. - up to 40 hours over junior and senior year.
This plan currently costs $3500 and covers four years of high school through the student's high school graduation.
