Dr. Fadely is a deeply experienced college counselor who has stayed connected with college grads from all over the United States. His advice and guidance were invaluable as my daughter embarked upon the most exciting decision of her life!

The information you gave us enlightened our college search and preparation. We followed through with your advice and our children learned material and visited colleges that we would have never investigated. Thank you.

Jim Fadely does a great job of matching your child with schools in line with your child's goals and personality. Jim zeroes in on what makes each child tick and then uses his extensive knowledge of schools all over the country to come up with a list of possible matches. I would highly recommend Jim Fadely.

INDIVIDUAL CONSULTATION OPTIONS
The following is a description of various plans of service and the fees associated with each option:
HOURLY IN-PERSON CONSULTATION - College counseling services can be contracted at an hourly rate. Hourly consultation does not include access to the consultant (i.e. e-mail, text-messaging, telephone, cell phone) beyond the arranged session times.
HOURLY DISTANCE CONSULTATION - College counseling services can be conducted via e-mail, text messaging, Facetime, and cell or landline telephone. Clients pre-pay in hourly increments and use time accordingly.
JUNIOR-SENIOR YEAR PLAN - This option is recommended for students in the early months of the junior year. This plan allows for unlimited access (i.e. e-mail, text-messaging, telephone, cell phone) to the college counselor from the beginning of consulting services in the junior year to completion of the college admission process on May 1 of the senior year. The Junior-Senior Year Plan includes regularly scheduled individual meetings, standardized testing recommendations, appropriate coursework and academic suggestions, application essay review, extracurricular activity recommendations, sports/activity recruitment tips, development of a college list, building a resume, and final application review.
SENIOR YEAR PLAN - This option is recommended for students seeking services early in the senior year. This option allows for access (i.e. e-mail, text-messaging, telephone, cell phone) to the college counselor from the beginning of the plan in September to completion of the college application process on May 1. This plan includes regularly scheduled individual meetings, late standardized testing recommendations, application essay review, sports/activity recruitment tips, assistance with the final college list, building the resume, and final application review.
FRESHMAN AND SOPHOMORE YEARS - Students in the ninth and tenth grades are encouraged to arrange a number of meetings to understand the complexities and strategies of the college admission process. It is important to lay the groundwork during these first two years for a successful, good-fit college decision at the end of high school. Freshman and sophomore year college counseling can be structured as hourly consultation or the Four-Year Plan or Three-Year Plan.
