Terms of use

Plain-language draft. Have it reviewed by a Texas attorney before launch; this is not legal advice. A signed client agreement gives you stronger protection than website terms alone.

Educational guidance only

PrepSeat College Advising provides college application coaching: planning, brainstorming, feedback, and organization. Information on this website is general and educational. It isn't legal, financial, tax, or financial aid advice.

No guarantees

Admission, scholarship, and financial aid decisions are made solely by colleges and other organizations. I can't and don't guarantee admission to any school, a scholarship, an amount of aid, or any other result.

Student responsibility

Students write their own essays and applications. Students and families are responsible for the accuracy and honesty of everything they submit, for reviewing applications before submitting them, and for meeting all deadlines and requirements set by each college or program. Final essay drafts are due at least 72 hours before each application deadline. Drafts received later may not get a full review.

Services not offered

I don't provide test tutoring, complete the FAFSA or CSS Profile, or submit applications on a student's behalf.

Payment

Prices are listed on the Services and Pricing page and may change; changes don't affect services already agreed to. The Junior Year to Senior Year Package is paid in two parts: half when your student starts, and half in June, at the beginning of senior year. The Senior Year Package is paid in two parts: half when your student starts, and half 30 days later. Rush add-on: $500 if your student's first application deadline is less than 3 weeks away when we start. Full refund if you cancel before our first meeting. After that, refunds are based on the work not yet completed, using the breakdown in your client agreement. Up to 5 colleges are included in each package, and a package is complete once your student's applications are finished, even if they apply to fewer than 5 colleges.

Scheduling, cancellations, and deadlines

Please give at least 24 hours' notice to reschedule a meeting. A meeting canceled with less notice, or missed, counts as one of the package meetings, and a missed hourly session is billed at the hourly rate. If I cancel or reschedule, it never counts against the package. I may waive a missed meeting for illness or a family emergency, at my discretion. Meetings that start late still end at the scheduled time.

If a family doesn't respond for 30 days, or a student misses 2 meetings in a row, I may pause or end the package, and any refund follows the breakdown in the client agreement. The same breakdown applies if a student decides not to apply or takes a gap year. Packages end on May 1 of the student's senior year; unused meetings and college spots don't carry over.

I set internal deadlines for drafts and documents so there is time to review them before each application deadline, including final essays at least 72 hours before. If materials arrive after an internal deadline, I will do my best to help, but I can't guarantee a review before the application deadline. Families are responsible for meeting application deadlines. If a deadline is missed because materials were late, PrepSeat is not responsible, and it is not grounds for a refund. Work already completed still counts toward the package. When possible, I'll help the student move to a later application round.
