Preparation for admission to top colleges is stressful, not only because of the selectivity but because of the complex and vague criteria. The admission process takes a holistic approach, meaning there is no bar to reach or specific weight assigned to each factor in order to guarantee admission. However, the reason the admission process is so convoluted is that these top colleges want to search for applicants they think would thrive in their community.

Some parts in these processes are straightforward—as colleges have certain academic requirements—and other parts are simply subjective or even intuitive. Much like making friends or writing a novel, there are structures to adhere to with varying circumstances and factors or room for creativity. What you end up looking for is that click, inexplicable but important in the long run. Top colleges also want to know applicants as a person to see whether the fit is there, like a ‘click’ in an application.

So how can you optimise your application to click?  When we put together your application, our focus is on you, your background, preferences, strengths, passions, etc. to make certain that admission officers can easily access your appealing qualities.
