Helping high-achieving students craft the stories colleges remember

Where structure meets story.

Summit supports high-achieving students to present their most authentic, compelling selves in college applications

Most high-achieving students aren’t short on accomplishments — they’re short on clarity about how to express who they are in a way that feels authentic and stands out.

Parents often tell us they feel unsure how to help without adding pressure, conflict, or stress.

That’s exactly where Summit comes in.

How We Help

College Application Support

Full-cycle consulting with expert guidance across the entire process, from the college list through applications, interviews, and final submission.

Personal Statement Sessions

A focused, two-week process to get your student's personal statement done over the summer before senior year starts. Three 1:1 sessions, unlimited feedback.

Maggie and Jacklyn understand how to connect with kids and it shows. Their guidance helped our son find his voice, stay organized, and write essays that reflected who he really is. Hiring them was the smartest thing we did for his application.

Meet Maggie & Jacklyn

Summit Academic Support was founded by Maggie Finn and Jacklyn Angell — two full-time high school teachers with 25 combined years in the classroom. Every student works directly with one of us, start to finish.
