College admission is messy and has become highly competitive. On top of that, COVID-19 has upended the admissions process all over the world. However, one element has not changed: experience has the experience and expertise to help you. Your application is a story that you create about yourself so it needs to be admitted. We know how to build a case, how to stand out in the undergraduate and graduate admissions process, and how to develop and polish an application approach that will catapult your student into the undergrad or graduate admissions and his students have received admission from the nation's top undergraduate colleges.

In the top schools of the nation, the acceptance rates are 10% or less (meaning that 9 out of 10 students are rejected). In some schools, the rate is around 5% (meaning around 19 of 20 mostly highly competent students fail to get in the school). It is notoriously improbable for any one application to be accepted in a given university. However, a well-planned and executed approach can improve the probability of a student making it.

Let us consider an example: Princeton University offers Early Action, meaning that the students who apply before the Early Action deadline are significantly more likely to be admitted to the school. Early In 2018, out of 5,335 applicants from around the world, Princeton University accepted 791 students early. So, even though coverage of the Early Action deadline might be helpful for certain students in getting admission at Princeton University, this is simply an example to provide an idea about the admissions process and serve merely as a guarantee.

Furthermore, an applicant should apply to a few colleges to improve their chances of admission into a college of their choice. A given college can be a match, reach or safety. If your GPA, SAT/ACT scores and resume of accomplishments that are in line with (or exceed) the profile of an entering student will be substantially more likely to be a match school. This by itself might not be sufficient for admission because other aspects of the application (recommendation letters, extracurricular activities, and essay) will also be a factor to determine if your package is slightly lower than that of an average freshman.

Even if your child is accepted to the college of his/her dreams, he/she still needs to pay for it. It is not only about getting admission, but also about how to pay for it. Thankfully, many financial resources are available. There are college scholarships (from the college), grants, work-study jobs, loans, and tax credits. You can also appeal the college's financial aid package and apply for private scholarships. Many colleges have offered emergency grants in response to the COVID19 emergency. We know that college financial aid landscape thoroughly and can help you get more money.
