Your Student Is Closer to College Applications Than You Think.
The Families Who Start Now Are the Ones Who Win.
Most juniors and rising seniors have strong grades but no real strategy for how to tell their story, build their college list, write their essays, or position themselves for merit scholarships. The Senior Plan is a comprehensive done-with-you program that handles all of it — led by a Certified College Consultant with 18 years of experience with direct access to Shellee Howard every step of the way.

The Problem Most Families
Wait Too Long to Solve.
Your student has a strong GPA but no clear story connecting all their activities together
You are not sure which colleges to apply to or how to build a realistic college list
Essay season feels overwhelming and you do not know where to start
You are worried about missing critical deadlines or making costly application mistakes
You want your student to earn merit scholarships but the process feels impossible to manage alone
Other families seem to have consultants, strategies, and a clear plan and yours does not yet
This is exactly the problem the Senior Plan was built to solve.
