How did you hear about Savvy Young Writers?*
What has prompted you to seek college essay support for your child?*
What schools are currently on your child’s “to apply” list? (It’s ok if the list isn’t fully nailed down yet – just give me an idea.)*
Have you already engaged with, and if yes, how do you feel about the college counseling program available at your child’s school? Have you engaged any independent support for college counseling?*
How is your child feeling about the essay-writing process?*
Would you describe your child as self-motivated? What kinds of things motivate them?*
What about the Savvy Young Writers philosophy resonates with you? Do you have any concerns?*
The preparation for our initial meeting will require your child to complete an in-depth questionnaire that will take them 45 minutes to an hour to complete thoughtfully. They will also need to send a number of background materials (transcripts, writing samples, etc). How do you anticipate your child will respond to the upfront time and attention they will need to provide before our initial meeting?*
If you are hoping to schedule work over the summer, what activities will be on your child's plate this coming summer? (Please skip this question if you are inquiring for work in the fall)
Anything else you'd like us to know? (Ok to leave blank if there's nothing further)
