The Exploratory List
Figuring out which college environment you would most thrive in can be a daunting task. Are you drawn to the hustle and bustle of a large, public research university, or the intimacy of a small liberal arts college? Do you see yourself spending the weekends exploring the wilderness surrounding your rural college, or perhaps you’d prefer roaming through a big city? Could you see yourself succeeding at a religiously affiliated college, or a single-gender college, or an HBCU? Public vs. private, core curriculum vs. open curriculum – these are just some of the factors to consider when choosing a college. Our experts will help you sort through your options, then compile a preliminary college list of schools designed to solidify your preferences.
The College Application List
With over four thousand colleges and universities in the U.S. alone, finding the perfect college can feel like looking for a needle in a haystack. Our experts will incorporate both your preferences and your odds of admission to build a well-balanced list of colleges that would be a great fit for your learning style and personality.

The Common Application
Supplemental Applications
Supplemental applications present their own unique challenges. Essay prompts ask “what art nourishes your mind and spirit?” or “what makes odd numbers so odd?” They might challenge you to write a tweet that tells the world who you are, choose a theme song for your life, and discuss your favorite word. Our experts can help make sure your supplements stand out – and not because you said your favorite word was “defenestrate.”
Interview Prep
College admissions interviews are your one chance for colleges to get to know you as more than a piece of paper, so it’s important to make the most of it. Our Bulldog consultants will help you craft answers to the most difficult interview questions, then hone your interviewing technique through mock interviews.
Waitlist Coaching
We offer guidance through the next steps after being deferred or waitlisted at your dream school. Our consultants will help you craft the perfect “letter of enthusiasm.”
