This year, our seniors received over one thousand offers of admission from 258 different colleges. And they were offered OVER $24 million dollars in MERIT scholarships.
June is for Dads and Grads!
And it means you’re now a RISING senior, or a rising junior, or whatever year is NEXT for you! Which means – it’s time to start thinking about how you’ll use this year to stand out when you apply to college. Maybe it’s ramping up the academic rigor; maybe it’s narrowing down your extra-curricular activities and taking on a leadership role (notice we said narrowing DOWN your extra-curriculars, not spreading yourself thinner by ADDING another….).

PARENT CORNER
College admission looks very different today than it did when we applied 20-something years ago. Admission rates are a fraction of what they were when we applied – and the process is much more unpredictable. You can work with your child through the process, but it’s ok to ask for help from experts.
