Why 'Middle 50%' Scores Aren't Enough: A Mathematical Breakdown For The Country's Top Students
We often come across families wondering why their child, despite having met the middle 50% grades, didn't get accepted into their dream schools.
In this week's video, Jack Delehey, our founder, unveils a critical factor that many families tend to overlook – the significantly different acceptance processes for athletes and non-athletes in many top US schools.

But don't lose heart if your child isn't targeting athletic scholarships. Jack also explains how to redefine your success metrics and aim for the right percentiles, giving your young scholar an edge in this highly competitive process.
Make sure you don't miss out on these exclusive insights that can help you better strategize your child's journey to their dream college!

P.S. - Have a high-performing high schooler w/ a 3.7 GPA or higher? We'll help get them into at least one of their top 5 dream colleges...and if we don't get them into at least one of their top 5 dream colleges, you don't pay us a penny. Seriously. College admissions isn't rocket science...but it is a science. And we've cracked the code...year, after year, after year. You can learn more about our world renowned all-inclusive, start-to-finish college coaching here and to see if your family qualifies for an introductory call.
P.P.S - Our most common question is "When should we start?!" The answer is, if you truly care about giving your high schooler the best chance of college planning success, you should start NOW. 9th grade is not too early to start! 10th grade is certainly not too early to start! And 11th grade is far, far too late! (supporting data here to show just how much of an advantage you give your child by starting the process early).
