Ah, college application season!
As if all the essays & submission deadlines weren’t stressful enough, interviews with alumni & admissions officers often strike fear in the hearts of college applicants. In the hyper-competitive world of college admissions, a great interview can help an already stellar student stand out—and a poor one might damage their chances of getting in.
So effective preparation is crucial! & if you’re looking for a coach to help your child prepare more effectively, I think you’ve come to the right place!
This is me looking relieved at no longer having to do college applications since I’m an adult.
