The Wise Admissions approach promotes self-reflection, agency, and confidence.

We want our students to:

• Know that school is a launching pad, not the final destination... and a match to be made, not a prize to be won. 

• Have a better understanding of their own values, interests, and strengths and how they might build or expand upon them.

• Be excited about their next chapter and well prepared to take full advantage of every opportunity. 

• Know why the school they selected is a great match for them, whether it is a large state flagship, a tiny liberal arts college, or a well-known Ivy.

• Have increased self-knowledge and confidence and improved time-management and writing skills.

• Feel empowered by the process and ready to take on more.

​

Unfortunately, the wrong approach to admissions can lead to undue stress and students who:

• See high school as a race and admission to college as the finish line.

• Succeed in creating an identity and narrative that impresses strangers but lose sight of who they really are and what they actually enjoy or are interested in. 

• Can't quite articulate why they chose their college, perhaps because they were unduly influenced by peers, rankings, or others’ expectations instead of their own goals, preferences, and priorities.

• Work so hard throughout the process that they're burnt out before they even start college. 

​We know there's a better way: A successful approach to college admissions that also leads to self-reflection and growth and prepares the student to make the most of every opportunity in college (and beyond!).
