Grades, test scores, and impressive activities alone won’t get a student admitted to schools that reject almost all of their applicants. So how do students who get accepted to the Ivy Leagues, Stanford, Tufts, and the rest of the nation’s most selective colleges set themselves apart from the rest of the applicant pool? We’ll show you at this webinar. We’ll also reveal some Collegewise strategies to improve a student’s chances of admission at the most selective schools. While we don’t believe that prestigious colleges are necessarily better colleges, we want students who are interested in these schools to have straight answers about what it will really take to have a shot at getting in.

Many great kids write average (even bad) college essays. This webinar will show you what admissions officers really look for in the personal statement and offer suggestions for finding and sharing your best stories. We will cover tips on the main college essay as well as suggestions for writing supplemental essays about why you’re a great fit for a particular college or major.

Part 3: Making Your Common App Less Common (8/10/22):

The Common Application gives you a lot of opportunities to tell your story in a way that admissions directors will find compelling. We don’t like to have missed opportunities on an application, so we’ll go through each part of the Common App and show you where you can inject your personality and where you can protect your shortcomings. We’ll also share how admission officers use the information you give them to make admission decisions.
