Our Services

Mosaic Admissions provides college admissions counseling services a  la carte, as well as a comprehensive package that will help you master the main components of the college admissions process: strategy, fit, application and essays, and interview.

College Admission Timeline

STRATEGY

Who are you, what have you accomplished, and where do you want to go from here?  Are you interested in geology?  Theater?  Environmental law?  Or do you just want to figure it out when you get there?  We’ll help you to focus your goals, uncover what makes you special and open your mind to possibilities for your essays.

  • Developing Your High School Plan. If you are just beginning high school, we’ll help chart an academic and extracurricular course that will challenge and inspire you, and help position you for college.

FIT

What colleges fit best with your strengths and goals?  Where will you excel academically, develop lifelong friendships, and have fun?  We’ll help you determine which colleges are right for you.

  • Preparing for the Campus Visit.  What should you look for when you visit a school in person?  What kind of information is most valuable, and how do you get it?  We’ll help you optimize your campus visits so that you can assess your fit with prospective colleges.

APPLICATION AND ESSAYS

How can you forge your unique voice?  What’s the best way to approach the essays?  How can you flesh out your application to make it seem more like you?  In this phase, we dive deep into the written application.


  • Developing the Application Check-List.  How do you manage the details and deadlines?  Our application checklist will ensure that you remain focused and stay on top of the complex admissions process.
  • Planning Your Recommendations. Which teachers know you best?  Who can write recommendations that will give colleges unique information about you?  We’ll help you identify the best sources for recommendations, which are a valuable component of your application.

INTERVIEWING

How should you talk to college reps or alumni?  What are they listening for?  Can you say the wrong thing?  Interviews can be one of the key elements in admissions, and our practice interview will teach you how to remain at ease while staying sharp.
