Should You Take That Harder Class? Watch This First

In this week's video, our founder, Jack Delehey, shares the B+ Rule, a game-changing strategy for choosing high school classes that can make or break a college application.

A B+ in a harder class is about equal to an A in a lower-level class. So if your student can’t confidently get an A- (even with strong study habits), it might be time to rethink the schedule.

Jack shares his own story of pushing too hard and ending up with a C+ that hurt his profile...and how our students used this rule to land at top schools like Vanderbilt without burning out.

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)
