Why ~90% of students who get 4.0 and above GPAs
and perfect SAT scores are NOT accepted into
Harvard, Stanford,
or the top 10 universities (and what to do about it)
Proven methods and strategies for getting into better universities even if your child does not have the best grades or SAT scores
What universities actually want in an applicant
(but never say)
How to identify your child’s true interest and passion, turn it into a unique advantage, and use it to
get into a better university
The truth about certain extracurricular activities that actually hurt students’ chances of getting into better schools
What “value–added” college planning is, and how early you should start if you want your child to enter a top university (most parents get this wrong)
“Academic criteria are important to Yale’s selective admissions process, but we look at far more than test scores and grades… every applicant brings something unique to the admissions committee table.
Perhaps one application stands out because of sparkling recommendations, while another presents outstanding extracurricular talent; maybe your personality shines through a powerful written voice.”
“Even perfect test scores don’t guarantee admission. Far from it: 69% of Stanford’s applicants over the past five years who scored a perfect score on the SAT were rejected… we’re also looking for evidence that this young person has a passion, that he or she will bring something to our community that is unique.“
Stanford accepted
2,114 students.
25,518 students had a
4.0 GPA or above.
For every 1 spot available at Stanford, there are 12 students that apply
with a 4.0+ GPA
UC Berkeley accepted
14,429 students.
40,706 students had a
4.0 GPA or above.
For every 1 spot available at Berkeley, there are ~3 students that apply
with a 4.0+ GPA
UC Davis had 41,684 students apply with a 3.7 to 4.0+ GPA
Only 25,580 of those students were admitted
That means 16,104 students were still rejected with a competitive GPA for
UC Davis
These 3 factors are so powerful & important that universities are accepting students who have lower GPAs and SAT scores, but fulfill these 3 factors, OVER students with higher GPAs & SAT scores.
In fact, top universities COMMONLY reject students with perfect GPAs
and SAT scores if they don’t have these 3 factors.
No, we’re not talking about gender, race, or income.
These 3 factors are 100% within your control if you want to make sure your child has the best chance of getting into a top university.
And yes, you can even do these when your child is in the 6ᵗʰ–12ᵗʰ grade,
but the earlier they start, the more powerful it will be.
All will be explained in the webinar.
We work with your 6th–12th grade child to get into an Ivy League / Top 25 university or AT LEAST a tier or 2 better university –
If you’re not completely satisfied with the work we do between now and when you press “Send” on your child’s application, we’ll give you every cent of the money you’ve paid us–even if we’ve worked together for multiple years.
