How to help your 11th grader without being pushy

As much as you want to guide and support them, the last thing you want is to come off as a "pushy" mom or a “pushy” dad.

If you’re part of our community, you have a smart and ambitious kid…

You also want them to get an excellent education, but the admissions game can feel confusing, especially during Junior year. 

And as much as you want to guide and support them, the last thing you want is to come off as a "pushy" mom or a “pushy” dad.

It’s a delicate balance.

I often talk with incredible parents who are overwhelmed with college admissions information, searching for the “best” path forward.

But here's the truth:

There is no single "best" path.

Most families have these three options:

  1. Student Only: Your child manages the admissions process alone, trying not to miss important opportunities or deadlines. It's doable, but it can be stressful and overwhelming.

  2. Student + Parents: You help your child research and gather advice from various sources to create a plan. It's also doable but time-consuming, and you might still wonder if you're on the right track.

  3. The Guided Path: You can get step-by-step guidance and expert help throughout your child's junior year. This path maximizes their strengths, minimizes stress, and leads to better results.

If the guided path resonates with you, I am happy to announce we just opened the doors to the 11th-grade cohort of the College Admissions Academy.

My goal is to make admissions simple, so you can feel confident about your child's future, knowing they are going through this journey under my careful guidance...

This way, by senior year, they're simply putting the finishing touches on an excellent application, while you cheer them on.

The value the Academy offers is, as our members often say, priceless.

And if you join now, you'll get:

  • A 1-on-1 consulting session with me.

  • A 20-minute strategy session to make the most of our platform.

So, if you're ready to give your child the competitive edge they deserve...

If you're ready to say goodbye to the stress and hello to a strategic, supported journey for your whole family...

There's no better time than now.
