Upcoming Events

Join us on Monday, April 14 at 5:00 PM PT / 8:00 PM ET to learn how your student can craft meaningful activities. 

Did you know the Common App has 10 slots for activities and the UC App has 20? How will your teen create impact?

Colleges care deeply about what students do outside the classroom. 

Leaving many families wondering:

• How many extracurriculars are enough?

• What if my teen's interests don’t match their intended major?

• Is a part-time job as valuable as a leadership role?

The truth is, colleges value creativity, initiative, and real-world experience as much—if not more—than awards and titles. 

Join us for a live webinar to learn from Daniel Chung, a former admissions officer at Stanford, Swarthmore, and Rice, who has helped students get accepted to every top-100 college.

You'll Discover:

💥 How to Find & Build Meaningful Extracurriculars: From mechanical engineering and creative writing to sports, research, and beyond.  

💥 Leadership Without the Title: Understand how to create passion projects and demonstrate initiative, even without formal positions or traditional awards.

💥 Turning Everyday Activities into Application Gold: Whether it’s a part-time job, personal projects, or unique hobbies, learn how to frame them for maximum impact.

💥 Common Pitfalls to Avoid: Uncover what hurts more than helps and how to present your teen's experiences in the most compelling way possible.

BONUS: Live Q&A with Daniel! Bring your questions and get expert advice in real time.

Applications are up while admissions rates are dropping below 5% at some top CS programs. Join us on Tuesday, April 22 at 4:30 PM PDT / 7:30 PM EDT to discover how your student can stand out in the highly competitive world of Computer Science admissions.

Ideal for families with teens in grades 7-11.

Admissions officers are evaluating much more than who’s “accomplished the most.” So, what does it take to get in?

Most students targeting top Computer Science programs like MIT, Caltech, and UT Austin have already checked all the academic boxes—great GPAs, high test scores, advanced coursework in math and science, and years of coding experience.

But that’s the problem.

As one professor shared: “We’re overwhelmed with students who are technically perfect but intellectually flat.”

Colleges are looking for students who can think independently, collaborate meaningfully, and demonstrate creative potential.

Join Jeremy, an experienced college admissions expert, who has helped students gain admission to top CS programs at MIT, Georgia Tech, Berkeley, and more. 

You'll discover:

Join us on Wednesday, April 23 at 4:00 PM PT / 7:00 PM ET to uncover what it really takes to gain admission to the nation’s most selective public universities.

Help your teen navigate the competitive world of public university admissions!

You know the Ivy League and top private universities are fiercely competitive—but did you know some public universities are just as selective?

Schools like UC Berkeley, the University of Michigan, and the University of Virginia are seeing record-high applications and record-low acceptance rates. 

And with the Department of Education changes, various application portals across schools, and the added challenge of in-state vs. out-of-state competition, the process is more layered than ever.

Join Kevin as he demystifies the admissions process for these schools and shares how your teen can build a compelling application that shines.

You'll discover:

✔️ How shifting admissions trends, from the DOE changes to testing strategies, impact your teen’s chances of acceptance
✔️ The key differences between public and private university admissions
✔️ How to showcase your teen’s academics, extracurriculars, and personal story in a way that leaves an impact
✔️ What admissions officers actually care about—and what matters way less than you think
