School List Creation
LVEC will work with you to create a customized student portfolio taking into account your child's academic strengths, challenges, extracurricular interests, and personal needs. Lindsey will then create a customized list of schools for you and review each option as to why it might be a great match for your child. It is expected that you will add and remove schools from this list based on what feels the best for your family as you explore schools.

LVEC also partners with a professional copy editor for those who need more in-depth guidance. The goal of this service is to ensure that your individual voice and personality are reflected your essay submission.
