Grade 12
This is the final stage of the college application. We work with each student fully based on their unique passionate path toward college applications and career planning.
1
Monthly Sessions
12 hour-long sessions are built into the yearly package. These will provide time for student-counselor introductions, data collection, and student interviews. After these preliminary stages, sessions will evolve to narrative creation, skill identification, and progress monitoring.
2
Narrative Buildout
This is the core of Thetaworks Counseling. Beyond preparing a student academically and creating a strong resume, students need to create a compelling narrative. This unique “story” will help students stand out when it comes to college admissions.
3
Strategic Activity Planning
Activities, volunteering, and competitions are essential to crafting a strong resume. Thetaworks counselors, after creating the “Narrative Buildout,” will help students select activities that will highlight their strengths.
4
Student Performance Monitoring
Once an action plan for a student is created, counselors will focus on keeping them on track. This will center around monthly check-ins and tutoring
5
On-Demand Resources
Thetaworks also provides a host of on-demand resources. Articles, classes, progress reports, and more!
6
Emergency Academic Support
If a student is struggling with a class or activity that may put their future application in crisis, Thetaworks counselors are always there with emergency assistance. Speeches, tests, papers, and counseling are available at all times.
7
Tutoring
Whether a student requires more support or wishes to advance their skills beyond regular school work, Thetaworks has a range of classes to help. These classes can easily be added to our general offerings. Find the full course list here.
8
Passion Project
This addition helps a student focus and perfect a single passion project. Whether this be a competition, a book, or an invention, Thetaworks counselors are here to help. Your student will get one-on-one sessions toG help them achieve their dreams— and bolster their resume. You can find the full program description here.
9
College Search
Students and Counselors will work together to create a comprehensive list of target schools. This will include top-tier dream schools, as well as schools deemed attainable based on grades and test scores, as well as a few safety schools. Each choice will be thoroughly researched to prep college applications.
10
Summer Planning
This extends the “Strategic Activity Planning” included in the basic package to the summer as well. Counselors will help select camps, internships, and volunteering experiences that best align with their narrative and future application. Students will also be supported if these summer activities require applications.
11
Essay Class
This required course will guide students as they prepare for the written components of their college applications: Common Application, activities list, and supplemental essays. We will also discuss the admission process more broadly. Outside of the specific essays, this course will focus on developing each student’s individual “narrative.” The narrative will not only structure essays, but will also help a student in their interviews and scholarship processes. Past students working with Thetaworks counselors in this class have been admitted to Harvard, Yale, Stanford, UC-Berkley and more. Find more information here.
12
Individual Essay Coaching
This is optimal for ambitious students or for those who need more support. This allows the student to be comfortable and confident when discussing their essays. As these works tend to be more vulnerable, this is the best environment for many students to succeed.
13
Scholarship Support
This helps support them with research, selection, and applications to the various scholarships– whether they be state, national, or school-specific.
12
Unlimited Support
In our elite package, students are offered unlimited support to take full pressure off of parents. Students will be met with weekly, on top of monthly visits, to monitor school work, activities, and progress. Each element of college and high school will be planned, with approval from parents. Tests, essays, and competitions will be fully supported by Hualong counselors.
