The Lovare Diagnostic

Before we build the plan, we find out where your child actually stands.

A multi-session assessment of the student, the record, the family’s goals, and the next eighteen months. You leave with a written strategy whether or not you continue with Lovare.

What happens

Five steps from uncertainty to a written strategy.


01
Student interview

Goals, interests, habits, pressure points, strengths, and the student’s own view of what is working.

02
Parent interview

Family priorities, constraints, expectations, school context, and the decisions you are already wrestling with.

03
Record audit

Transcript, course rigor, testing, activities, summers, projects, awards, and the emerging application narrative.

04
Strategy analysis

We identify the highest-leverage opportunities, weak points, timing risks, and choices that should not be postponed.

05
Family Strategy Report

A written roadmap that turns the findings into priorities, decisions, and a sequenced eighteen-month plan.

06
Strategy session

We walk the family through the report, answer the difficult questions, and make the next moves explicit.

Your report

Not a score. A decision document.


The point is not to tell you that your child is “strong” or “competitive.” It is to show what the evidence says, what matters most now, and what should happen next.

The Family Strategy Report includes

  • ·Current academic and admissions position
  • ·Course and testing priorities
  • ·Activity, leadership, and project strategy
  • ·Summer and opportunity strategy
  • ·Career-interest hypotheses and ways to test them
  • ·College positioning and emerging narrative
  • ·Risks, gaps, and the next ninety-day priorities
  • ·An eighteen-month execution roadmap
What it is not

The Diagnostic has to be useful even if we never work together again.


i.
Not a free consultation stretched out

The work stands on its own. The family receives analysis and a roadmap, not a pitch deck.

ii.
Not a generic college list

We look upstream at the choices that create future options, not only at where the student could apply today.

iii.
Not a promise of admission

We give a candid read of strengths, constraints, and probabilities, then focus on decisions the student can actually control.

After the Diagnostic

Execute it yourself, or ask us to run the plan with you.


Some families use the report independently. Others enter the Atlas Engagement, Two-Year Engagement, or Senior Intensive. If you begin a Lovare engagement within thirty days, the $3,500 Diagnostic fee is credited in full.

The standard

  • ·No pressure to continue
  • ·No artificial urgency
  • ·No recommendation before we understand the record
  • ·A clear next step at the end of the process
