College Admissions Shifts!
The college admissions landscape is constantly changing with the competition for the best students to attend "XYZ" University. During COVID, many colleges dropped their testing requirements (SAT/ACT) and started requiring supplemental essays. Now with AI, that pendulum is swinging the other way with more colleges dropping the supplemental essay (i.e. UGA's infamous book essay, GT's "Why GT?", also Duke, UVA, UTK, TCU, and others) and requiring tests scores again. The result is that it makes admissions more competitive. This also means that class rigor and college admissions testing becomes more imperative as does the personal essay and activities sections of the application. Navigating this landscape is daunting. I see many students who do not have the test scores to make them competitive, or they haven't had the rigor or activities that they need.
Let me help your high school student prepare for this process! I'm now accepting 9th, 10th, and 11th grade students.

Whew! It's been a busy spring! I have moved houses and gone to several graduation parties! Yay for my graduates who have committed to UGA, Auburn, Alabama, Georgia State, Kennesaw State, and Dalton State!
The most important thing is to find the right fit for a student. But it does begin with those first high school courses. I'm enrolling upcoming 9th-11th graders now! I have room for about 7 more upcoming seniors, but much more room for 9th-11th-grade students.
It's also important that students find what they are passionate about, so they know what field(s) to pursue. This will save time and money while in college.
Get in touch with me today to see how I can help your student!
