Westchester County College Planning
A strong college application reflects years of mindful college planning and thousands of little decisions that, when carefully guided, reflect the most authentic version of your son or daughter. Novella Prep’s in-person and online programs balance academic advising (which classes, how to get the best grades, what matters to colleges) with college planning (which tests, requirements for admission, visits, essay, financial aid, and the application). Together, we can help students pave the way for future success with solid groundwork, all while avoiding the stress normally associated with the process.
*Please note that while our services are aimed at helping maximize academic opportunities, we cannot guarantee specific results such as test scores, grades, or admission to a certain college.
Statement of ethics: We believe that the student is the face of the application and therefore stand behind the mindful decision to never contact colleges on behalf of the student. As members of NACAC and IACAC, professional organizations providing standards of best practices, we believe that through their hard work and our guidance, the student can earn and enjoy their own success!
Benefits of College Planning For Westchester County Students
By combining academic advising with structured college planning, we help students make informed decisions about classes, improve study strategies, and understand what colleges seek in strong applicants. At the same time, we simplify the planning process by covering testing strategies, admission requirements, essay coaching, visits, financial aid, and the application itself.

Our college planning programs are designed to support students at every stage of high school, including Freshmen and Sophomores who are beginning to build academic foundations and explore interests, Juniors who are narrowing college lists, planning testing strategies, and honing academic goals, and Seniors who are actively applying, finalizing essays, comparing offers, and planning next steps.
When to Start the College Planning Process
To get the best results, we have found that starting earlier allows for grade-appropriate measures that build toward a well-organized and prepared high school senior. Since Novella Prep was founded, we have been helping Westchester County students achieve their academic potential.
