Description

If you've heard anything about college applications in the news or from friends, you've probably heard the word "holistic" thrown around. Colleges evaluate every applicant "holistically," but what does this mean? It means colleges, especially elite colleges, require every part of a student's application to be as compelling as possible—GPA, SAT/ACT, extracurriculars, and letters of recommendation. If you want to crack admissions at top colleges, you NEED to start working on these things early. Once you reach late junior or early senior year, you are severely limited in what you can accomplish. You've already taken most of the classes you will take in high school, are probably locked into whatever extracurriculars you're doing, and will not have much time to study for and retake the SAT, ACT, or AP exams. Top applicants to these schools have been building a strong profile for years before they apply; you don't want to be left playing catch up! By intelligently picking a strategy for your application earlier in college, you can guarantee that your application will be exceptional by the time senior year approaches. This strategy will be different depending on your individual goals—students who excel in math, computer science, biology, and English will all benefit from unique approaches—but, no matter what, starting ASAP is key. In this package, we will put together a winning strategy tailored to you. This package includes four hour long sessions: 1.
