Do you plan to attend the strategy session with your student?

Yes

What are your goals for your student's graduate school application process? Do you believe that your goals align with your student's goals? Why or why not?

What do you consider to be your student's most unique personality traits? If possible, please provide at least 2-3 adjectives with supporting examples

Have there been any unusual or personal circumstances that have impacted your student during adolescence or young adulthood?

Who will be funding your student's education? Is there a budget to which you would like your student to pay attention?

Has your child ever undergone a psychoeducational evaluation? If so, was there a diagnosis?

Are there particular schools to which your family has ties, either alumni-related or otherwise?

Are there any particular schools that you have begun to seriously consider OR rule out as potential options? If there is a reason why, please include that:

How did the college admissions process go for your student while in high school? If it was challenging or difficult, why do you believe this was the case? Would you do anything differently in the graduate school application process?

Is your student integrated within the current college or university community to which they belong? How would you describe your student's level of involvement?

Is there anything that you think would be valuable information for us to know about your student that you think your student might not share?

Part of the time in the strategy session is reserved to answer your specific questions. Please list all questions so that we can make sure to address each one of them during the meeting
