With over a 1,000 of colleges in the united states, finding the right colleges to apply to is overwhelming. And with skyrocketing rejection rates, applying to college can feel like you are climbing Mt. Everest solo. Now more than ever, students need more than just generic advice on how to write a personal statement or what activites to try. They need specific strategic guidance that is tailored to their specific needs from a professional college counselor (like us). And although colleges applications has changed dramatically over the year; our approach to college admissions hasn't changed, because what we do works. At Strive to Learn, our students earn more in financial aid awards and are accepted into their top choices at higher rates than any other counselor. Our college admissions experts understand the complexities of institutional priorities, but what sets us apart is our focus on you - the student: because at the heart of every good application is a student who knows who they are and is confident how they fit within their ideal school environment. By helping you explore your talents, deepen your interests, and expose you to the world of opportunities at college, you can begin to feel confident your choices and stop worrying about making the wrong decision. Because at the end of the day, our goal is for you to walk away from this journey - and it's a big one - with a fistful of acceptance letters to colleges that genuinely make you happy AND open doors to oppertunity.
