What's Your Angle?

You’ve probably heard of an admissions “hook” or “spike”, but competitive admissions offices are looking for more than just one thing you’re good at. The conversation about admissions strategy is much more nuanced than discussing a singular interest that you have. An Admissions Angle is a combination of interests, experiences, and other factors that helps center your application and craft a compelling persona in the process.

The truth about admissions is that there are tons of qualified students that get rejected from schools every year because they failed to stand out in the admissions office. They didn’t take the time to analyze their interests, accomplishments, and ambitions to think about how they connect. They didn’t ruminate on any deeper motivations to the decisions they made in high school. Their applications did not come off as intentional and cohesive.

We see it all the time. Students who don’t get accepted to their top choice schools because they were too unorganized, stressed, or daunted to complete all the work necessary to put their best foot forward in their applications.

When we work with students, we don’t promise any shortcuts or secrets to getting into the schools of their dreams. We help them construct their To-Do lists, take notes on their college research, organize their thoughts for essays, and have confidence that they’re spending their time wisely.
