Summary: Complete your college applications in just one week.
Ideal for: One & Done is for serious rising high school seniors who have thought a great deal about college, value their time, and want to finish the strongest possible college applications effectively and efficiently – all before the first day of senior year.
Details: Craft and complete amazing college applications worthy of acceptance to the world’s top colleges in a manner that won’t distract you (for more than one week) from everything else going on in your life. Unlike application boot camps that help students start the process of completing college applications, One & Done ensures students start AND finish the process of completing amazing and differentiated college applications in just one week. The personalized One & Done program is made for students who want an edge in the college admissions process because college applications completed during One & Done are simply unrivaled in quality and attention to detail.
Depending on the family’s preference, Craig will either fly to the student’s location for one week or engage with the student via video conference for one week in order to define an application strategy, finalize his or her college list, write a compelling extracurricular resume, and complete the Common Application essay, supplemental college essays, and the overall Common Application. Time permitting, students will also take part in mock college interviews that will prepare them for all-important alumni and on-campus interviews that take place later in the fall.
It’s no longer enough to be a strong applicant; students have to present themselves as strong applicants. One & Done helps students do just that! Propel your college applications to the next level with the unsurpassed college application support that defines One & Done.
No longer available for 2020. Availability for 2021 is strictly limited; Craig will work with a single One & Done student each week from August 1 – September 5, 2021.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where does One & Done take place?
This is determined by the participating student and his or her family. If the family prefers that the entire week program take place via video conference, the week will be spent entirely online. If, however, the family prefers for Craig to travel to the student’s location – anywhere around the world – in order for the student to engage in the program in-person, the week will be spent on location with the student/family (and the program will cost an additional $5,000).
After I register, do things get started on the first day of my assigned week?
No. Within 48 hours of registration, Craig will send both the student and parent(s) in-depth questionnaires to complete. These questionnaires must be completed no fewer than three weeks before One & Done begins because two weeks before the start of a student’s One & Done, Craig will engage with the student in a pre-One & Done college admissions counseling session. By the time a student’s One & Done week begins, and in collaboration with Craig, the student is ready to hit the ground running tactically implementing their preplanned college application completion strategy.
Will student participants work with Craig or some sort of assistant?
Unlike many college application boot camps that are headlined by well-known (and quite joyless and unimpressive) college admissions consultants but primarily worked by part-time college interns who are tasked with instruction of student participants and editing their essays, One & Done is led and operated entirely by college admissions expert Craig Meister. In addition to having independent daily dedicated drafting time, students have access to exclusive one-on-one college application coaching and engagement sessions with Craig for the full seven-day program. Craig does not outsource.
What will my child accomplish?
By the end of the one-week program the student will have finalized his or her extracurricular resume, Common App essay, Common App, and at least six Common App supplements (or the equivalent) while also developing – through strategy sessions and mock interviews – a college admissions interview game plan.
