USC, UNC...and now VANDERBILT Acceptance (A Case Study in Perseverence)

We'd like to introduce you to Thomas (pictured here with his college coach, Piotr, and his two parents in the background...on one of the many coaching calls we had with him over the years!)

Thomas worked diligently through our 4-Year, All-Inclusive, Start-to-Finish College Confidence Program, starting with us in 10th grade.

This spring, with our guidance, Thomas gained acceptance into two elite Universities: UNC Chapel Hill (as an out-of-state student! Extremely difficult to gain admission as an out-of-state student) and USC (Southern California) - another Top-30, elite, sub 15% acceptance rate school.

But Thomas had his sights set on his dream school, Vanderbilt...

These days, Vanderbilt has a ~6% acceptance rate.  After getting waitlisted, Thomas didn't give up.  He followed our waitlist advice.

And guess what?

We recently received this note from Thomas (a proud moment for everyone, certainly):

Thomas will now be attending his dream school, Vanderbilt University, this upcoming fall, having used our teachings to gain admission off the waitlist.

His story is one of commitment, dedication, and perseverance.  You deserve this, Thomas! Our whole team is incredibly proud of you.

To your college planning success,

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).
