Where High Achieving Students

Get Their Best Shot

If your student is…

✓ aiming for selective colleges and/or programs
✓ motivated, but unsure how to stand out authentically
✓ deserving of expert guidance through this complex process

…you’re in the right place.

Why We Have A Waitlist Every Year

Essay-Focused: We spend among the highest number of hours in the industry on essay development - a student’s chance to set themselves apart from others who have the same GPA, test scores, and extracurriculars but who haven't lived the same life.

Teacher-Led: We’re teachers who teach students how to uncover and express who they are - and what they can bring to a college campus. It’s not just checklists and grammar edits, but true coaching so your student puts their best foot forward.

Unparalleled Expertise: Maggie brings her Dartmouth degree, years of being an alumni interviewer, and firsthand insight into pre-med and BS/MD admissions shaped by her experience alongside her husband, a current surgical resident. Jacklyn brings higher education experience to the team and specializes in neurodivergent learners, with additional focus in pre-law and engineering pathways. Both of us have written over 100 letters of recommendation and taught for 10+ years with Masters Degrees. We know kids, we get kids - AND we get college admissions.

Why Families Choose Summit

  • Emma A., 2026 Student

    Before working with Summit, one of my biggest challenges was creating an application that felt personal and truly reflected who I am, rather than simply listing qualities. The quick and thoughtful feedback I received from Summit made the greatest difference. I had many essays to complete and wanted to finish them efficiently, and Summit helped me do exactly that. Not only did my applications become stronger, but through the revision process I also grew as a writer. Comparing my early drafts to my final essays made me realize just how valuable Summit's support was. I would highly recommend working with Summit. They made the entire process clearer, more manageable, and much more meaningful.

  • Christy D., 2026 Parent

    We highly recommend Summit Academic Support to anyone looking for guidance with college applications. The team is phenomenal in their approach, feedback, and responsiveness.

    We were especially impressed with the quality and speed of feedback. Our daughter has already received multiple college acceptances, significant merit scholarships, and nominations for several full-ride programs.

  • Marian R., Mom of '26 Twins

    Before working with Summit, our family felt overwhelmed. Between the college application process, SAT prep, and AP classes, there were too many moving parts and not enough clarity.

    What made the biggest difference was Summit’s personalized structure and roadmap. The weekly check-ins, targeted feedback, and strategy tied everything together — college planning, testing, and coursework.

    We saw major improvements in time management, writing, test scores, and confidence. There was a moment after seeing SAT score increases and reading a polished essay draft when we realized the true value — our children sounded like the best version of themselves, and we finally felt relief knowing we were on the right path.

    Summit turns a stressful process into something structured, supportive, and empowering.
