Dear Parent,
After working with countless students, I've witnessed firsthand how conventional wisdom fails parents and their children…
It makes families think hard work and good grades alone will protect their child's future.
This is a dangerous myth.
A myth that will only lead to heartbreak when those fateful rejection letters arrive.
The truth is, the college admissions landscape has become so competitive that…
…even the most outstanding students are routinely turned away.
Like the teenage genius with a 4.2 GPA and 1560 SAT shockingly rejected by Harvard, MIT, Yale, and Princeton...despite already publishing 2 books!
Or the gifted Bay Area student who suffered through an agonizing 16 college rejections... (he got hired by Google!)
And these are just the stories that make the news…
This is happening every year, to high-achieving students across the U.S.
While most of these rejected students work hard even to the point of burnout and exhaustion...
There is a select group of students that wins the admissions game and gets into these colleges every year…
And they do it without a perfect GPA, stellar SAT Scores, or taking multiple AP classes.
How is this possible?
You see, colleges—especially the most competitive ones—are now looking for students with an edge.
A WOW factor that stands out.
Unfortunately, 99% of students fail to convey this edge, and end up getting rejected to their dream universities.
To top it all off...
These institutions do not want people knowing their real criteria for admissions.
That’s why they only release the least important details.
The minimum benchmarks to get accepted.
Like the average SAT score of accepted applicants or the average GPA of accepted applicants.
This leaves your child wondering why their “stats” were not good enough.
Worse of all, it can take a huge toll on their self-esteem and self-perception if they are rejected.
Even if they ARE a strong and qualified candidate.
But it doesn’t have to be this way.
After twenty years of helping students get into their dream colleges, I’ve designed my own “rulebook” for the college admissions game.
A guide that parents and students can use to WIN the game.
Without pressuring them to become someone they're not or worse…
Sacrificing their mental health and teen years just to get rejected!
Instead, you'll start playing this game the RIGHT way!
Once you see the real rules, you'll start dictating the game.
So if you want to protect your child's future from devastating rejection...
And ensuring they seize those million-dollar, life-changing opportunities reserved for graduates of America's top universities…
Then you should get my new best-selling book:
