Our commitment to our students is a collective and careful assessment of individual narratives both in meetings and during our internal review process. We follow the academic calendar to best fit the college admissions cycle.

We follow a 3-step process to get started.

1. An Introductory Conversation with Principal Christy Gosnell to discuss our philosophy & procedures.

2. An Initial Consultation with your family and our Team.

3. The work begins.

For anyone seeking advice, I simply ask you to "Trust the Process..." For nearly four years, I've had the privilege to work alongside Advanced Placements, otherwise known to my family as the Dream Team. These three dedicated professionals have led my aspiring college students with grace, poise and a little bit of glitter.

Christy Gosnell is a mover and shaker whose energy and knowledge is contagious. Marybeth Myers knows how to get the student thinking creatively all the while maintaining their sense of self esteem and their voice within an essay. From technology, culture, and the introduction of new digital tools, Charlotte's youthful perspective ensures momentum and ignites any student's fire in the belly.

Selecting the AP Advisors from a crowded educational consultant marketplace is a decision that, without hesitation, I'd gladly repeat again.
