In this 4 week course, join us in demystifying the complicated world of College Admissions with a seasoned College Admissions Counselor. Get help finding the universities that are perfect for you and maximize your chances of acceptance! We'll cover all the key aspects of the college admissions process, including the Common App, Activity List, Personal Statement, school-specific essays, School List building, Standardized Testing, and Financial Aid. (more details below in the Syllabus) We'll primarily focus on US universities, where I specialize and have helped students get full-ride scholarships to top schools, like Dartmouth. But I've also helped students get accepted to universities in Canada, the UK, and EU, and many of the US principles can also be applied to these regions. So students from all backgrounds are welcome! Students who want more personalized admissions help are welcome to enroll in my 1-on-1 College Admissions Counseling. It works taken instead of, as a follow-up to, or at the same time as the Bootcamp/group class: https://outschool.com/classes/1-on-1-college-admissions-counseling-essays-the-common-app-majors-and-more-klZsVQq9?refuid=u529M6QA See you in class!
