Comprehensive Application Review & Strategy
A personalized, expert-led evaluation of the student’s full college application.
Delivered by private video, this includes Ashleigh Taylor's analysis of the student’s academic and extracurricular profile, what the deferral likely signals, college list positioning, contingency options, and available transfer pathways, so families have a clear, realistic plan forward, no matter what happens.

Expression of Continued Interest (ECI) Guidance & Editing
Strategic guidance to ensure the ECI statement is effective.
Students have already been provided an ECI example in my Postponement Guide. This service ensures the statement is crafted effectively and contains the proper information. I will provide expert direction on what to emphasize, what to avoid, and a detailed review of the final draft to ensure it aligns with how selective admissions offices evaluate postponed applicants.

College Decision Support & Next-Step Planning
Clear guidance for choosing the best path forward, no matter the outcome.
In a follow-up 1:1 session, families will meet with Ashleigh Taylor to get help evaluating offers already in hand, assessing institutional fit, and understanding future pathways (including University of Michigan transfer options), so college decisions are made with confidence.
Â
If this sounds familiar, this service is for you:
“We don’t know what to do next.”Â
“We have already written an ECI… but did we highlight the right things?”Â
“What if a Michigan acceptance doesn’t happen—then what?”Â
“We need an expert who truly understands how schools evaluate postponed/ deferred students and can help to review all options.”

Secure Postponement SupportFrom Mom of current University of Michigan Student:

”
Ashleigh clearly explained the postponement process and provided a video review of my son’s application, identifying areas that may have been of concern to the admissions team and offering advice on how he could bolster his chances of admission.
She even offered to review the follow-up materials he submitted through the postponement process.
He followed her advice and was subsequently offered admission!
