College Admissions Strategy & Branding
Build Your Brand Story
The most important, yet most overlooked, step in the college admissions process
Get An Early Head Start. Today’s college admissions landscape is complex and competitive. How can you stand out as extraordinary in a sea of stellar grades and top test scores?
Take The Lead Get help designing what I call your powerful “brand story” and enriching your student profile to help your child stand out and get accepted into the school of his/her/their dreams.
A powerful way to present as a strong applicant is to be intentional and design your student profile and develop your brand story as early as possible. This is an area in the college admissions process where you have control. Take the lead now to lessen senior year stress.
PROCESS
Prior to the first session, we will…
1. Evaluate
Evaluate your child’s classes, grades, test scores, activities, and interests to date.
2. Plan
Create a Personalized Admissions Plan, partner to identify and inform priorities for the upcoming year (s)
3. Create
Creating your experience now allows for time to explore. Your child’s plan is not static. It grows with him/her/them.
We will:
Identify your brand story – the themes to carry throughout your application
Evaluate your academics
Determine which courses are important, and which are missing
Select the best extracurricular and community opportunities to support your long-term educational and career goals
Consider employment and summer experiences to enrich and supplement your core course work
Strengthen Your Strengths
Your child will walk away from our meetings feeling confident and in control as he/she/they will have a brand map – a list of actionable items, the building blocks of a compelling, cohesive brand story, and student profile by senior year.
By that time, your child knows what is needed to be a competitive applicant well before the time to apply.
