“Jeff was so helpful in guiding my daughter through the college application process. He answered all of our questions, and made this overwhelming task seem easy! Highly recommend!”
— Becky
The first thing we tell all of my students, especially the one sitting in front of me with a pained half-smile fixed on her face, is that they will get into college. Multiple colleges. Guaranteed.
College Starter helps students create a balanced list of 6-8 schools that fit both their wants and needs. By following a specific blueprint, students will have multiple colleges to choose from when the dust settles.
Extracurricular Activity Profile
Colleges are looking for unique, thoughtful, civic-minded, enthusiastic learners who can bring diverse personalities, thought-provoking ideas, advocacy, and a sense of empowerment to their campus. They are looking for you!
College Starter provides students with the tools necessary to build out a complete Extracurricular Activity Profile that will help shine a spotlight on their varied and exquisite talents.
