THINK BIG. BE AUTHENTIC.
GET ACCEPTED.
DEAR FAMILY,
Chances are you know a teen who "did everything right" but still wasn't accepted into the college they had their hearts set on.
It happens all the time because most people don't understand what colleges are really looking for in prospective students.
Instead, parents and teens spend years arguing and stressing out over grades, test scores, and extracurricular activities, not knowing those things are only a part of the equation when it comes to getting into the best college.
Getting into college shouldn't be so stressful.
