Admissions

How we work

Application-year admissions uses a 4-on-1 team. One advisor owns the file; writing and testing specialists join as the application needs them. Planning, tutoring, contest coaching, and career work each have a dedicated specialist of their own.

Admissions

Who 4-on-1 is for

The 4-on-1 team staffs application-year admissions — high school, undergraduate, transfer, graduate, and professional degrees.

Students in an application year

Seniors and other applicants in an active cycle, when the file needs strategy, writing, and a calendar at the same time.

Families coming from long-term planning

High school planning stays with a family advisor across grades. When the application year arrives, the admissions team takes the file.

Professional-degree applicants

MBA, JD, MD, and PhD files use the same 4-on-1 idea, staffed for that degree.

Families who want one owner

A single admissions advisor remains the through-line, even as writing and testing specialists join for stretches of the cycle.

The 4-on-1 admissions team

Four roles around one student. The mix flexes with the file; the advisor stays constant.

01

Admissions advisor

Strategy, school research, timeline, and the through-line of the file. This is the person the family talks to week to week.

02

Writing specialist

Essays, supplements, and statements — drafted, revised, and checked against the rest of the application.

03

Testing support

Where testing still matters, a specialist for the remaining exams and the calendar around them.

04

Application support

Logistics, recommendations, and a second read before anything is submitted.
