Deferred. Deferred. Admitted!
New Workshop: The College Application Edge System
A client blew off our phone call this morning, but I couldn't be happier.
Savannah (not her real name), applied to several big, "rah-rah" colleges this fall. She's a great, straight A student and boasts seriously impressive extracurriculars.
Here's why Savannah (still not her real name)'s mom started to panic. The first two colleges to respond sent the following decisions:
Deferred.
Deferred.
I'll spare you the "Inside Baseball", but Savannah's mom was practically hyperventilating for the last two weeks.
Email. "What's happening?" Text. "What's wrong with her application?" Email. "What colleges will she get into? We need a plan!"
I admit that I wasn't feeling too confident after the second deferral. But I needed to heed my own advice: "It's too early to panic. Deferral doesn't mean denied. She's a great candidate at all of these schools."
That was Thursday. We set up a Zoom for 9am this morning. But then, last night, I got this text:
"She's in at Miami!!!!! And $20,000 scholarship! I'm crying!"
Boom!
Savannah was a good, but not a slam dunk candidate at The U. But she was a stronger candidate at the two colleges that deferred her!
Does this seem weird? It's like quantum physics. Things happen in college admissions that we can't logically explain.
But we can help you increase your chances at getting into your Dream College, even when the odds seem stacked against you.
Tomorrow night, I'll share the Easy Button to getting accepted at a top college, and winning scholarships worth twenty thousand donuts, or more...even if you think financial aid is off the table for you.
The workshop is called The College Application Edge System.
It's free. Here's some of what will be covered:
- The "60-40 Formula" to get into elite and highly selective colleges
- Extracurricular activities that "sell" not bore
- How to score tens of thousands in fat, juicy scholarships even if you think you have no shot at getting any type of financial assistance
- More
Here's where to sign up:

P.PS. Congrats to our other clients who have been admitted to Bates, Cornell, Fordham, Wash U and others...so far!
