Why is the application process so hard?
Keep this in mind if your child has big college goals.

Getting into top colleges is hard.
If you read any forum, and even my Facebook group, you’ll see it filled with countless complaints about the difficulty and struggle.
The truth is, the bigger the goal the harder it is to accomplish.
And that is not necessarily a bad thing.
The role of colleges, especially the most competitive ones is…
To mold the next generation of students into leaders, innovators, and thinkers.
This means they’ll have much tougher coursework and higher demands on their students…
They will teach them how to thrive under pressure, so they can be successful in their future demanding careers.
But first, they need to make sure their students are prepared for the demands of college.
They need to be sure that the students they admit can succeed academically while also:
Taking on new responsibilities.
Creating an impact in their community and spheres of influence.
Getting ready for the real world.
That’s the job of the application process.
It’s not easy, and you may argue that it is not even fair for some students.
But with the right help...
This pressure turns the right children into diamonds.
They’ll gain the confidence needed to perform well in a competitive college environment…
And ultimately in their career.
Dear parents, I’d love to hear your opinions on whether the pressure of high school and college admissions is a net positive or negative.
Reply and let me know.
To your child’s success,
