From Mission to Dream College (FREE BYU & Common App Support)
Looking to apply to college during or after an LDS mission? This is the package for you.
Applying to college after a mission can feel different from the traditional high school application process. You may be navigating transfer applications, reconnecting with high school recommenders, researching degree programs, or trying to figure out how to talk about your mission in a way that makes your application stand out. I'll help you navigate the entire process, from choosing the right schools to submitting an application that reflects who you've become. Together, we'll work through: School selection: Identify universities and programs that align with your interests, goals, and academic background. Mission-to-application strategy: Learn how to communicate what you've learned, experienced, and accomplished during your mission without making your entire application about it. Essay narrative development: Identify the stories, experiences, and perspectives that make you a compelling applicant. Transfer student guidance: Understand your options for applying as a transfer student versus a traditional freshman applicant. Letters of recommendation: Build a recommendation strategy, including how to reconnect with high school teachers and identify other strong recommenders after your mission. Program research: Explore majors, academic opportunities, and schools that fit the future you're working toward. Whether BYU is your dream school or you're considering universities across the country, I'll help you build an application strategy and move forward with confidence. BYU application support is FREE (per BYU guidelines), with Common App guidance built into the process for students applying to additional universities.
