初步咨询与需求评估

Welcome! Please have a seat. So glad you could make it. To start, could you tell me a bit about what brings you in today and what you're hoping to achieve from our session?

Thank you. My son, Leo, is currently in his junior year of high school, and we're starting to feel the pressure of university applications. We're a bit overwhelmed with all the options and don't really know where to begin with academic planning.

That's completely understandable. It's a significant process. Leo, from your perspective, what are some of your academic strengths and areas you're most interested in exploring further? And do you have any career paths in mind, even if vaguely?

Excellent. Math and physics are strong foundations. We can definitely explore engineering and clean energy programs. To get a better picture, could you tell me a bit about your current GPA, standardized test scores if you've taken any, and what extracurricular activities you're currently involved in?

His current GPA is around 3.8 unweighted. He hasn't taken the SAT or ACT yet, partly because we weren't sure when the best time was. For extracurriculars, he's on the school's robotics team and plays the piano.

That's a solid academic record. And robotics and piano show a well-rounded profile. My goal would be to help you navigate the application process, identify best-fit universities based on Leo's strengths and aspirations, and develop a timeline for standardized tests and essays. Does that align with what you're looking for?

Perfect. We can certainly put together a strategy for those. To wrap up this initial consultation, I'd like to suggest a follow-up meeting where we can dive deeper into specific university research and start outlining a detailed action plan. Would next Tuesday work for you both?
