In today’s competitive climate, perfect scores and flawless GPA say little about your student. Neither does a haphazard list of extracurriculars with no rhyme or reason beyond trying to “look good” on paper.

Selective colleges recognize and reward your child’s efforts when those grades and extracurriculars fit underneath what makes them REMARKABLE.

Your child's college admissions strategy should tie together:

*Their interests, choices, ambitions, hobbies

*Evidence of their capability to handle rigor and independence

*Their shared values with colleges that will serve their broader goals for life

The story your teen’s application tells needs to be authentic, clear, and compelling. And it all starts with empowering them with confidence and self-awareness.

You know your kid is full of potential, and our approach ensures that not only will the right colleges see and act on it, but your child will, too.

In this free 60 minute session, I’ll share the insights you need to know about admissions strategy for your high potential student, how to avoid roadblocks and pitfalls, and how to keep your relationship intact as you usher them into the next phase of their lives.
