To Get Into an Elite College…
It isn't enough to be personal, you need to be practical!
This is the key to being accepted into the most selective colleges. Elite institutions routinely consider more valedictorians, students with perfect test scores and grades, published research, and winners of international competitions than there are available seats in their incoming classes. This leads admission officers to decide which overqualified candidates will ultimately bring the most tangible value to their university and its many social and academic communities. They want students who have proven in the past that they can contribute to the vibrancy of their campus and possess the current attitude to fully engage in all of the opportunities present on campus.
Our consultants will ensure that your essays and extracurricular demonstrate to admission officers how your presence on their campus will elevate the social and academic experience there for every other student. We’ll have your teachers and guidance counselors singing your praises in their recommendation letters, and help you communicate how your niche will contribute to the intellectual diversity of the entire incoming class.
What we will do for you:
Find an academic niche for you to pursue.
Being focused on a specific sub-problem within an area of study will maximize your chances of being admitted to your dream school.
Help you craft a personal statement.
A statement which will demonstrate unequivocally how you contribute to their university and benefit from its offerings.
Help you write supplemental essays.
When themes naturally flow from your personal essay and stated extracurriculars, you become more memorable.
Assist you in selecting extracurriculars.
We'll guide you in participating in the extracurriculars admission officers care about, and steer you clear of ones that they don't care about, saving you time and stress.
Help you select high school and community college classes to take.
We'll tell you which curriculum, over your remaining time in high school, will synergize best with your hook and maximize the score admissions officers will assign to your course rigor.
Help you write essays for extracurricular programs.
Summer programs you apply for will require their own set of essays that we will provide comprehensive assistance with.
