The Challenge​​

The global college admissions landscape is volatile. The ‘straightforward’ educational decisions of earlier years are no longer simple. If not managed with informed confidence, these decisions can be costly.

Independent Educational Consultants and The College Application Process

The application process can be just a simple means to an end, but it should NOT be so. It should be an opportunity for self-discoveries and the development of self-cultivated pathways.

Like so much else in our jarringly fast-shifting society, the future of higher education over the next decade can perhaps be summed up in a familiar two-part refrain: big changes are coming, but no one seems to know exactly where they will lead.

One of the great clichés of college admissions is the exhortation that students find their own voices in the essay (and interviews)—and “be themselves.” It’s a cliché because it’s good advice.

William Fitzsimmons

Dean of Admissions, Harvard College
The essay…is an opportunity for students to deliver a bit more about who they are…it’s a moment to be creative…the essay is, beyond a transcript, the most important part of an application….we’re trying to understand and see how you think…are you creative?

Shawn Felton

Director of Undergraduate Admissions, Cornell University
For many schools, including mine, there is no interview process, making this personal statement your only opportunity to hear your voice. If I met you in a non-admissions context, what would you want to tell me about yourself? What type of picture would you paint of yourself and your world?

Amy Jarich

Director of Undergraduate Admissions, UC Berkeley
Your ability to write well is critical to our decision because your writing reflects your thinking. No matter what question is asked on a college application, admission officers are looking to see how well you convey your ideas and express yourself in writing. It is our window to your world.

Dean of Admissions, Princeton University
