80/20 for College Applications: What Really Matters

A fast, practical mini‑workshop that cuts through noise and shows the few actions that drive most admissions results. In 20–25 minutes, we’ll cover the 80/20 of college apps for all rounds: clarifying your academic story (rigor, trends, testing or test‑optional context), highlighting a clear spike in your Activities/Additional Info, tightening the Common App essay plus 1–2 priority supplements, aligning teacher/counselor recommendations, and submitting early and clean. Then we’ll spend 5 minutes on a focused ED/EA sprint for anyone facing early deadlines (Nov 1 and Nov 15). I’ll finish with 15–20 minutes of live Q&A.
