JUMP AROUND! Charlie's going to University of Wisconsin - Madison!
Last Saturday, I shared with you a coaching session with one of our students, Charlie, and our head of college coaching, Piotr (which you can watch here)!
Like we said, our mission is to make the college application process as fun as possible for our students, while also providing exceptional, real, factual college insights. Did our insights ultimately help out Charlie?
YES!!!!
This fall, Charlie will be attending University of Wisconsin - Madison as an incoming freshman. Charlie’s admissions journey was nothing short of outstanding, with impressive acceptances and waitlists at top-tier institutions such as UVA, CalTech, and UChicago!!
If you want to hear a little bit about Charlie's experience, keep reading!
When did you join the program?
Fall of my junior year.
What was your favorite part of the curriculum and why?
I liked the timeline aspect of the curriculum because it made my journey fairly hands off as far as me having to create timelines for myself as to when different things needed to be done for my college admissions. It helped me feel organized and relatively worry free with little effort.
How did the program make you feel less stressed?
It was nice having access to experience I didn't have so that I could validate my various conjectures throughout the process.
How did you feel compared to your friends at school?
I felt extremely prepared for college admissions and never felt as if I was scrambling compared to many of my peers.
Why would you recommend the program to others?
I think that if a parent or student is stressed about college admissions this program can help relieve a lot of that stress. The program also helps you focus on bigger picture objectives of going to college and not getting so caught up in the weeds of little, but important, extremely time consuming decisions and processes.
What was your experience with the roadmap?
I liked the roadmap a lot and it helped contribute to a stress free college admissions cycle.
What are you most looking forward to during college?
Participating in research opportunities and getting to meet professors.
Charlie’s journey is a perfect example of how our dedicated approach and insightful guidance can lead to remarkable results.
We’re thrilled for Charlie as he begins this exciting chapter of his life, and are proud to have been part of his path to success. If you have a child who would benefit from guidance like Charlie did, schedule a call here!
Best,
Melina Kazanas
P.S. - Have a high-performing high schooler (like Charlie) 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).
