Stodghill College Consulting Packages
Action Years
For current 11th or rising 12th grade studentsInvesting in this package means giving your student the essential tools and guidance needed to navigate the challenging college application process with confidence and success. We understand that applying to college can be overwhelming, and this package ensures that your student is not alone in this journey.
Our dedicated support helps your student create a tailored college list that aligns with their social and academic needs as well as your financial goals. With our guidance, they will develop compelling essays, meticulously complete and review application materials, and create a college-ready resume. We’ll also guide your student in developing a standardized testing strategy. We’ll work together to establish a strategic plan for the fall application season, selecting the best recommendation writers, exploring potential majors, and planning college visits.
Throughout their senior year, we’ll meet regularly to keep your student on track with all critical steps and non-negotiable deadlines. Our application and essay organization platform will simplify their workload. During the second semester, we’ll offer continuous support for final details and application follow-ups, so your student can focus on their future with peace of mind.
Moreover, we understand the importance of involving parents/guardians in this process. With ongoing communication and meetings, we ensure that everyone stays informed and engaged. This comprehensive support package is an invaluable resource that empowers your student to reach their college dreams with clarity and confidence.
- * Payment plans are offered to all families and typically result in 4-6 payments drafted every 90 days
Foundational Years
For current 9th or 10th grade studentsThe high school years are about much more than building a college list. During the freshman and sophomore years, our focus is on helping students discover who they are, explore their interests, make thoughtful academic choices, and build experiences that will position them for success when the college application process begins.
Unlike our Action Years package, the Foundational Years program is billed one semester at a time. Families invest $750 per semester and may begin at any point during the freshman or sophomore years. Because you only pay for the semesters the student engages with us, the total investment ranges from $750 to $3,000, depending on when they join us.
Throughout the program, we meet regularly with your student to discuss academic progress, extracurricular involvement, career exploration, and long-term goals. Together, we’ll identify opportunities that align with their strengths while helping them build confidence, purpose, and direction throughout high school.
By the end of sophomore year, students have developed a stronger understanding of their interests, strengths, and potential career paths. They’ll also have a personalized testing strategy and will be well prepared to transition into the more application-focused Action Years.
Parents receive ongoing communication from our team throughout the process, ensuring they understand what matters most during each stage of high school and how to best support their student without unnecessary stress or pressure.
Payment plans are available for every semester.
Families who continue into our Action Years package receive seamless support through the remainder of the college admissions process.
Planning to work with us throughout high school? Students who complete both the Foundational Years and Action Years receive continuous support from freshman year through college enrollment for a total investment of $8,500.
College Essay Support Package
One Time FeeStaring at a blank page. Feeling the pressure to stand out. Knowing that this essay—this story—could be the one thing that makes a college take notice. And yet, not knowing where to begin.
We’ve seen it over and over again: students with incredible potential, stuck trying to figure out how to put their story into words. Because the college essay isn’t just about writing—it’s about reflection, clarity, and finding your voice.
The main Common App essay is your chance to speak directly to admissions officers—to show them who you are beyond test scores and transcripts. It’s your moment to shape your narrative and bring your experiences, values, and character to life. And then come the supplemental essays: shorter, but just as important. Each one is another chance to show what matters to you, how you think, and why you’re a fit for that specific school.
Our college essay packages are built to support you through it all.
From the first brainstorm to the final polish, we offer unlimited one-on-one support with an expert who knows how to guide students through every stage of the writing process. You’ll get honest feedback, thoughtful questions, and strategic insight—so that every word you write helps build a clear, authentic, and compelling application.
You don’t have to do this alone. With the right guidance, every essay becomes a powerful piece of your story—and your story deserves to be told well.
* $1,600 for the Primary Essay (No Supplements)
* $1,000 for Supplemental Essays
* $2,500 for Both Primary + Supplemental
