How to “Not be stressed at all” About Admissions…Seriously! (Real, Live, Example!)
About a month and a half ago, in this blog, I told you about a rock star student in our program, Addison (pictured above). She was cruising through the program, crushing admissions, crafting a killer school list, and as confident as ever. Well, guess what? Only a month and a half has passed and she’s crushing it even more. Just one more section in our roadmap done, and she’s radiating confidence and peacefulness amidst this stressful time.
In fact, here’s what she had to say after completing that section, Section 4:
“Not stressed at all.” LOVE IT. Even with AP tests, Addison is killing it and making major headway in the college admissions game. While she certainly has several peers stressed beyond reason studying for only their AP tests, Addison is cruising and building up a big advantage come admissions next fall.
One of the ways she’s crushing it is through her perfectly balanced school list. We advocate for all our students to have 2-3 reaches, 2-3 targets, 2-3 probables, and 2-3 safeties, and, of course, like the rock star she is, she’s exactly in that range.
Here’s a picture of her recently filled out, beautifully-organized college tracker (a resource that serves as the foundation of our coaching program that we access on a weekly basis):
That’s what we're talking about! We provide all our students with the roadmap, but it’s on them to take advantage of it and apply it, just as Addison has done. And obviously, when you follow it, you get tremendous, stress-free results.
