College Application Game Plan
2-hour Zoom Workshop - Th July 23, 2026, 10am - Noon (CST)

Rising Seniors: Between late-summer family vacation, summer jobs or obligations, fall sports, homework and studying, completing college applications can stress even the most organized student. Get a jump start on your game plan before the applications open on August 1st!
In this 2-hour working session, rising seniors will learn how college applications are reviewed, identify the major components you need to complete before you’re ready to submit, and create your personalized timeline for the remainder of the summer and fall. Each student will leave with a personalized, written College Application Game Plan to share with their family and a chosen accountability partner. Students only, please. We encourage students to share their complete Game Plan with their parents after successful completion of the workshop.

What is the format of the workshop?
45-60 -min group Zoom meeting, Q+A throughout, + brief one-on-one “exit meeting” during which the student will meet with the presenter to review their developed game plan to make sure they aren’t missing any important steps.
Will the sessions be recorded so I can watch even if I can’t attend?
Yes, this workshop will be recorded and shared with students who sign up.
What is the deadline to register?
Spots are limited, so register early! Registration closes on July 20, 2026 or earlier, if we fill to capacity.
My student’s situation is unique. Can they ask personal questions and get individualized guidance?
Yes! The presenter will meet with each student for a brief personalized session to review their developed timeline. For additional personalized guidance, we recommend signing up for the workshop plus the 5-hour one-on-one coaching package, which the student can use anytime throughout application season (July 23 - Oct 2, 2026).
How does the coaching package work?
Students will purchase a “bank” of 5 hours to be used for personalized guidance from a Waverly consultant, between July 23 - Oct 2, 2026. Hours can be spent in live meetings (Zoom), consultant’s asynchronous review and feedback on the students’ applications, answering questions from students and/or parents via email, or consultant research of colleges or programs on the students’ behalf. We allow for up to 2 live meetings with a consultant per week (7 days).
What if my schedule changes? Can I get a refund if I don’t attend?
