College Admissions Guidance with Heart

The Application Studio is an admissions consulting service that helps students and families navigate the college and private high school application process with clarity, confidence, and heart.

Led by an educator with a background in journalism, The Application Studio works one-on-one to help each student uncover their voice, shape their story, and present their most authentic and powerful self to admissions teams.

Whether you need help unlocking a compelling personal essay, building a smart and informed school list, or managing the entire process from brainstorm to acceptance, we’re here to help — without the stress at home..

Philosophy

This process isn’t just a checklist — applications are a chance for students to reflect on who they are, what they care about, and how they want to show up in the world.

  • Authenticity wins. The best applications reflect the truth of who a student is.

  • Teens thrive with non-parent mentors. And parents...
    get to be the support system, not the taskmaster.

  • Everyone has a story. And we’ll find yours together.

  • Admissions is a team sport. But sometimes families need a coach who’s not on the team.
