The Comprehensive Plan
This program is designed for families that are interested in ongoing, personalized support throughout the college admissions process. Comprehensive clients may begin to work with us at any point during their sophomore, junior or senior years. At Vinik EPS, we take great pride in our accessibility in order to create an approach to working with students that is highly individualized.
For clients who sign up with Vinik EPS in tenth grade, the process begins in the fall of sophomore year with a one-hour family meeting that provides an overview of the college admissions process, explores the student's interests inside and outside the classroom and maps out a basic academic plan for the balance of high school. A second hour-long meeting takes place toward the end of tenth grade to review grades, create a standardized testing plan and look ahead to junior year. During the fall of eleventh grade, we hold a ninety-minute family meeting in order to generate a preliminary list of colleges. In meetings throughout junior and senior years, Vinik EPS helps students decide where to apply to college and provides assistance with virtually all aspects of the application process.
For clients who sign up in eleventh grade or twelfth grade, the process begins with a ninety-minute family meeting in order to generate a preliminary list of colleges. This list is based on a thorough evaluation and discussion of a student's academic record, testing profile and interests. In subsequent meetings through senior year, Vinik EPS helps students decide where to apply to college and provides assistance with virtually all aspects of the application process.
Our primary services for Comprehensive clients include the following:
All students have free access to Custom College Plan, a web-based program that allows them to research schools, maintain college lists and track the many pieces of their applications.
