College admissions advice is overwhelming.

The more you hear; the more you feel like you need to do to succeed. From developing a showstopper activity to phrasing your honors section, most advice focuses on specific aspects of your application – things you can and should work on before the common app is live.

But now, since the common app is open, we understand that some different advice is in order.

So in this video, I avoid the nitty gritty of admissions and instead break down three simple common app tips to make your application experience go as smoothly as possible.

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).
