There is so much more to admissions than the numbers. If there weren't, students with perfect or near perfect SATs and straight As wouldn’t get denied by highly competitive colleges year after year. In college admissions, a student's grades and test scores are just a part of what admissions officers consider in their decision-making. Colleges do not want well-rounded students, but well-rounded classes in which every student will contribute greatly both during and after their time at college. They want students who will be leaders after graduation. We identify strengths of the applicant that will make him or her more desirable to colleges. With our insight on what priorities of the college are considered in the decision-making process, we identify these traits and guide the students in creating a portfolio that will provide the most compelling portraits of themselves.
