Not Sure Where Your Student Stands?

A consultation with a Foley Admissions Pro maps the rest of the cycle — what's done, what's missing, and how many sessions it realistically takes to finish strong.

Navigate the College Application With Confidence

One-on-one coaching through every part of the application — the structure of private counseling, without the retainer.

Foley Admissions Advisory pairs your student with a dedicated admissions coach for focused 75-minute working sessions. Every session is built around what that student needs next — a school list that actually fits, an activities section that reads like a story, a personal statement that survives revision, a plan for who writes the recommendations and when everything is due.

Students work with Adam Materasso directly. Nothing is handed off, and nothing is generic: he has read these applications from the other side of the desk for two decades.

Looking for the summer group program? The Common Application Boot Camp runs each summer and returns ahead of the next application cycle. Between now and then, the same material is covered one-on-one.

What We Work On

Nine parts of the application, covered in the order your student needs them. Tap a topic to see what that looks like in a session.

Make the Fall Count

The students who submit strong applications are the ones who stopped guessing at what comes next.

Seniors: Early Action and Early Decision deadlines cluster around November 1, with Regular Decision close behind. Coaching now means the Common App gets finished properly, supplements get written instead of rushed, and recommenders get asked before they are overwhelmed.

Juniors: starting this year turns one frantic fall into two calm semesters — school list, testing plan, and activities all settled before senior year begins.

What we get done together:
  • Common App & supplements
  • Personal statement
  • A school list that fits
  • Recommendation strategy
  • Interview preparation
  • Deadline & submission plan

Choose Your Admissions Support

Start with a single 75-minute strategy session, or lock in a package for the rest of the cycle — five, ten, or fifteen sessions with Adam. Pricing and availability come straight from our live catalog.

Common Questions

Who is Foley Admissions Advisory for?
Seniors working against this year's deadlines and juniors who want a head start. Seniors focus on finishing the Common Application, supplements, and interviews; juniors focus on the school list, activities, and testing plan so senior fall is calm instead of frantic.
What happens in a session?
Each session is 75 minutes, one-on-one, and driven by what your student needs next — the Common Application itself, activities and honors, testing strategy, school list, letters of recommendation, deadlines and admission plans, essay drafting and revision, or interview prep. Students leave every session with specific next steps.
How many sessions do we need?
Most families start with a single strategy session and decide from there. Five sessions suit a senior who needs focused help finishing strong; ten to fifteen support the full cycle from school list through final submission. Packages are used at your pace.
Are sessions in person or online?
Both. Meet in person at a Foley Prep New Jersey location or online — whichever fits the week. Many families mix the two.
Is the Common Application Boot Camp still running?
The group Boot Camp is a summer program and returns ahead of the next application cycle. Everything it covers is available year-round through private 1-on-1 coaching.
