Stand Out  . . . Get In

Schools are inundated with applications. In this competitive global environment students are being treated like mere numbers by college counselors at small private schools, large public schools, and even private college counselors who seek the highest yield for the lowest risk. They attempt to ensure their students’ acceptance rates by shooting low. We won’t let you be be hindered by this defeatist mentality. Working together to craft poignant and memorable submissions will make the difference, and pave your way to the bright future you deserve.
