August has been a whirlwind!

I just wrapped up an intensive workshop with my rising seniors where I brought in admissions professionals from all over the country to work with my rising seniors on their applications.

Not only did the students make amazing progress, but I also had the chance to “grill” these admissions directors on what they’re really looking for this year.

The answers I got were surprising… and in some cases, a little shocking (upsetting?)

This year’s admissions cycle is shaping up to be unlike anything we’ve seen before. If you have a student in the Class of 2027 or beyond, you need to know what’s changing now so you can prepare early.

I’ll be sharing:
>The biggest insights from my conversations with admissions officers
>What these changes mean for selective college admissions
>Practical steps you can take now to give your student an edge

Hi all!

It's that time of year when people start asking lots of questions about course selection.

One of the most frequently asked: Is AP better or Dual Enrollment? How about IB?

And almost every year… they’re asking the wrong question.

Here’s what highly selective colleges are actually trying to figure out. When your student had choices, did they lean into challenge thoughtfully… or just stack acronyms?

In this live session, I’ll break down the following:
•How admissions offices evaluate AP vs IB vs Dual Enrollment
•Why some DE classes can actually weaken an academic narrative
•How GPA recalculations change the game
•The difference between real rigor and résumé inflation

In short, not all rigor signals are interpreted the same way and more is not always better.

If you’re planning courses for next year, you should absolutely be there.

When? 5:00 p.m. PT / 8:00 p.m. ET

We're well into the swing of admissions season! Even though I've been working with families for years and trying to spread truths, over the past few weeks, I’ve seen a wave of confusion surrounding the college admissions process.

Parents of graduating seniors are still scrambling for answers to major questions about GPAs, affordability, majors, and why their friends' friend's hardworking child was waitlisted or rejected by a dream school.

As someone with years of admissions experience, it’s hard to watch families discover critical information at the finish line and think, “If only this had come up earlier.”

I understand why it happens. The process is confusing. School counselors are often doing their best while managing enormous caseloads, leaving families to piece together answers from random corners of the internet. Worse yet... Families are trusting advice from their neighbor who knows someon.

The result? More confusion, more stress, and more myths being passed around as facts.

That’s exactly why this week’s live training is "Everything I Wish Parents Knew About the Elite College Admissions Process."

During this live training, I’ll pull back the curtain on the good, the bad, and the ugly of applying to colleges with acceptance rates below 20%.

We’ll cover topics like...

✅ What truly matters in highly selective admissions
✅ Common myths that mislead families
✅ How GPA, course rigor, testing, and activities are actually evaluated
✅ What families in the Class of 2027 and beyond should be doing now

My goal to give families honest, practical guidance so they can move forward with clarity.
