College Prep Checkpoint
Have you ever wondered, “Is my student doing everything they need to for college?” You’re not alone. In today's competitive college landscape, a strong academic record is a starting point, but it’s not the whole story. Colleges are looking for students who are not just academically prepared, but also engaged outside the classroom in activities they find meaningful. Why? Because in holistic review, admissions committees try to envision the kind of student and community member the applicant would be on their campus.
What Does the College Prep Checkpoint Offer Your Student?
This personalized consultation provides guidance and practical tools to help your student navigate the college admissions process with clarity and intention. It’s about creating a meaningful narrative that showcases their unique strengths and passions - because that is what moves the needle from “competitive applicant” to “compelling community member.”
Here’s what the College Prep Checkpoint covers:
Build Academic Rigor and Depth: We’ll coach your students to challenge themselves in the right academic areas that align with their interests and future goals. This helps them stand out and demonstrate genuine passion for their studies.
Develop Leadership and Impact in Meaningful Activities: We’ll guide your student on how to deepen their involvement and make a real difference in the activities that matter most to them. This is about finding genuine connections and creating demonstrable impact, not just padding a resume.
Determine the Right Test and Timeline: We’ll develop a personalized ACT/SAT plan tailored to your student’s academic progress and schedule. This strategic approach reduces stress and maximizes their chances of success.
