we all know the story
bright student sends in their college applications to every ivy and doesn't get into any, leaving them at their subpar safety school they had no desire to attend. slacker student thinks that their test scores can get them in anywhere, and then are left with a collection of waitlists.
college admissions are never a guarantee. an unnamed number of years ago, i went through the process and came out satisfied. applying to 10+ schools of varying levels of competitiveness, i came out with only one rejection, stunning my counselors. that year, i proved to them that i knew how to play the college game.
every year, i see friends and family members alike go through this, and every fall, i see it coming. however, how do you really tell someone they're not going to get into their dream school? the whole situation is rather awkward. seeing friends and classmates have much different experiences has led me to create this blog. an inspiring college counselor, i seek to give admissions advice to younger generations of college hopefuls.
keep in mind, that college admissions are NEVER a guarantee, and i am not psychic, just very aware of how to play the college admissions game. you can take my advice, but never take it as law. i could be completely wrong. i'm just here to offer advice and help, and to be honest about what i think people's chances are at certain schools. i'll also give you opinions on schools you also might want to look into. my anonymity gives me an opportunity to be honest about this sensitive topic.
responses will be emailed back to you. none of this will be revealed to anyone. all information sent to me is strictly confidential.
