How to Get into College

When your child submits college applications during their senior year of high school, they’ll need to be sure their application stands out, highlights their strengths and immediately grabs the attention of the admissions committee.

Your child already has such a busy schedule. I know you want to help them plan which classes to take, select what extracurricular activities to get involved in, and choose colleges to apply to —  without getting overwhelmed by the process.

Simply put, you want to see your child succeed.

After dedicating years to making sure your child has what they need to be successful as an adult, you find yourself perplexed that your child wants to push back on your attempts to be helpful as they begin thinking about college. Simple questions like, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” or “Which schools are you applying to?” are sometimes enough to trigger your child into a stressed-out mess.

You know that your child has the potential to be whatever they want to be, so you do whatever it takes to help them live up to that potential. Even if it means sacrificing your own time so your child becomes your top priority.

The truth is, you’re no longer sure how to best help them get into their dream school, but you want to make sure they have every chance possible.

I know you’ve already tried to do it on your own: searched “how to apply to college” on Google, coerced your child to meet with the high-school counselor, and asked your network of friends and family for advice.

But, you’re not sure what to do with this information overload. And, you want your child to be directly guided through the steps without you getting caught in between the best information out there and improving your child’s chances of getting into their dream school.

Not only are you already super busy, but you know it’s critical for your child to go through these steps themselves and learn how to be more independent before heading off to college.

Your child might even insist that they can figure it out on their own. But, each time you ask about their progress, they still have so much left to do.

When you suggest topics they can write about in their college admissions essays, they give you that apathetic look and deliver that audible sigh that annoys you to know end — and terrifies you.

So, you find yourself anxiously letting time go by as that college application checklist continues to grow.

So, what does your child need to secure that competitive edge in the college application process?

A step-by-step guide that is customized to their needs.

When your child knows exactly which steps to take in a realistic timeline, they’ll be less overwhelmed and less intimidated by the process.

And when they have a clear plan in place and an easy way to ask the questions they may hesitate to share, it leaves more time to focus on school, extracurricular activities and other important steps in the college preparation process.

Most importantly, they’ll also get a chance to enjoy precious family time during their final years at home before leaving for college.

Close your eyes and imagine:

• Watching your child excitedly call their grandparents to tell them they got into their top choice college;
• Celebrating an incredible list of college acceptances and the wealth of possibilities with each option;
• Packing up those suitcases at the end of senior year as your child heads off to the college of their dreams!

But, these things can only happen if you’re ready to invest the time and energy now to reap the rewards in the near future.

During the six month program, I’ll hold digital office hours every Thursday, all day, where your child can ask me their toughest questions on preparing for college. I answer every question.

Students who complete all assignments will be entered into raffles for fun prizes.

I knew that the process could be so much simpler. And, as someone who has been on both sides of the fence — as a student who got accepted into top colleges and as an admissions reviewer for the #1 public university in the country – I know exactly what it takes for your child to get accepted into their dream school.

In contrast to other options out there, How to Get into College is a mentorship program designed to specifically meet the needs of busy students, while leveraging the technology they already use.

You won’t have to drive your child to and from sessions. Instead, they’ll be able to watch classes, submit work and ask questions on their phone, computer or tablet. Imagine seeing your child on their phone and knowing they are using social media to stay on track with preparing for college.

You’ll have an expert guiding your child through the process, and I’ll keep you posted on what you can do to make sure they stay on track.

By the time our work together is done, your child will have the best chance of being accepted into their dream school.

I’ve designed this program so that your child can get the specific guidance, feedback and accountability they need without having to turn to a tutor with an outdated approach, claiming to know the secrets of getting accepted into college just because they got accepted into college. They are missing half the picture.

With this program, you can stop those searches for “Applying to college” on Google — the advice you read was conflicting, anyway.

And, you won’t have to buy thick college preparation books, chase down teachers or counselors to walk you through the process, or hope your child will figure it out.

30 day money back guarantee: If you are unhappy for any reason after the first lesson, I offer a full money back guarantee. Show me the student did all the work and I’ll issue you a refund. I’ll even cover the processing fees.

Once you enroll, you’ll receive an email from me within 24 hours with next steps. After the student downloads a free app, they’ll get an invite from me to join a private classroom where they can begin to prepare their pre-work and ask any questions. I’ll be sending parents emails throughout the course with details on how they can support their child through the workshop.

This program is perfect for you if:

• You’re a busy parent who wants to see your child succeed
• Your child has a lot of potential, but just needs a nudge in the right direction
• You’ve tried researching things on your own, but don’t know what specific advice to give your child on how to prepare for college

This program is not for you if:

• You have the extra time to read all the college prep books, organize the information you find online and coach your child on your own.
• Your child doesn’t have the minimum GPA and test scores required by the schools on their “safe list”
• Your child really doesn’t want to go to college and isn’t willing to put in the work.

I know how much is on the line. I’m so thankful my parents gave me the support I needed in high school. I give them credit for the for the great colleges I got accepted to, the networks I created and the dream job I landed afterward. Being able to graduate debt-free on my own, buy a car and home shortly after college, and live a life I love was all possible thanks to their investment in me.

I know you want the same for your child. If you are ready to take action — to stop guessing what your child should do to increase their chances of getting into their dream school.
