College Admissions
We bring clarity and perspective to the complex college admission process.
Viewpoint offers expert guidance on the college admission process so students and their families can navigate the journey with confidence.
College Planning
At Viewpoint, we partner with our families to help you navigate the competitive and complex college admissions landscape. We are committed to easing the stress of the process so you can enjoy the final years of high school, when self-discovery and personal growth should be the focus rather than stressing about the future.
Viewpoint’s Lead Consultant, James Cramphin prides himself on getting to know his students on a one-on-one basis so that he can recommend a highly personalized list of schools that will best match each applicant’s preferences, strengths, and ambitions. His goal is to empower families and students to approach the college search process honestly and authentically while putting their best foot forward in the application process.
Our College Services are available to domestic and international high schoolers in 9th-12th grade and while the exact timeline and nature of the service depends on where each student is in the process, they always follow a three phase structure:
Phase 1: The Student
Every college search begins with investing significant time in discovering and exploring the student’s unique personality, interests, values, strengths, and desires.
Phase 2: The Fit
After developing a deep understanding of the student in Phase 1, we partner with each family to explore fit, build and revise college lists, and discuss financial planning.
Phase 3: The Application
Lastly, the application process is where the rubber meets the road with essays, applications, deadlines, and (informed) decisions.
Spread your wings, prepare for your life, and enjoy the college experience at a school where you know you will thrive.
College Planning Packages
Viewpoint offers separate College Search and Application packages as well as a comprehensive service that combines both the Search and Application packages.
