College Counseling for Sidwell Friends Students

Senior-led admissions mentorship for Sidwell Friends families in Washington, DC, with seven years of results and a Georgetown record that speaks for itself.

Sidwell Friends

We know this school, and how its applicants are read.


Sidwell Friends is among the most recognized independent schools in the country, and its students apply to the most selective universities with strong profiles and strong competition, much of it from inside their own class.

Standing out from a school like Sidwell is not about more activities. It is about a coherent, distinctive arc that a reader remembers, and the composure to deliver it. Our Georgetown record is especially relevant here, given the school’s proximity and pipeline.

How we help Sidwell Friends families

We build the four-year arc on Atlas, position the profile against what selective colleges expect from a Sidwell Friends student, and run the essays, interviews, and deadlines with senior mentors. For juniors and seniors, that happens inside the Two-Year Engagement or the Senior Intensive. For younger students, it starts with the four-year Atlas Engagement.
