THE 21 DAY COLLEGE
READY CHALLENGE

WEEK 1 - The New College Reality

Every year two million high school seniors apply to college. A record number of applications were submitted for the Fall 2023 incoming freshman class.  At the end of this session you will better understand the psychology of college admissions, what happens after you submit your application, the college admissions game, why top students are not accepted to highly selective universities, why you are going to college and what a college degree is worth today, the prize bigger than college admission, the importance of doing a self-inventory and having a college gameplan, gain the confidence in your approach to finding the right college for you, and peek at life after college.

WEEK 2 - The BEST College For You

Building the college list is one of the most important steps in a high school student's life.  There is both an art and science to college list building as the task involves math, probability, logic and reasoning, intuition, and gut feeling. At the end of this session you will better understand key college considerations, important factors often overlooked, tips and tricks to help you, how many colleges should be on your list, how many colleges you should plan to visit and when, how to visit colleges the right way, what is commonly overlooked but may be the difference between staying in or transferring later, the winning approach to applying to colleges,  and why a focus on proper fit is vital.

WEEK 3 - Getting In By Standing Out

High school students today are under enormous pressure at many levels. They face competition against peers academically, socially, athletically, romantically, and physically. All while still growing, learning who they are, and learning how to feel. The idea of picking the perfect college or answering the "what I want to be when I grow up" question is overwhelming. The course workload and attempt at perfection can send students over the edge. At the end of this session you will better understand that there are proven methods and strategies for getting into top colleges with and without top grades or test scores, and what universities actually want in an applicant but won't tell you.

IT'S TIME TO TAKE THE 
COLLEGE READY CHALLENGE

Dear Parents of College Bound Students,

As a parent, you hold the key to your child's future. Your child may not know it just yet but as they go to and through college, they will begin adulting and paving their future. Every parent's goal is that their children successfully launch and navigate about the world on their own. All parents wish good health, wealth, and relationships for their children as they navigate this life road laid by bricks that starts with college.

And is college worth it? College graduates are far more employed and earn well over one million more in career earnings over non-college graduates. Also trending is a record number of college applications to college as over 2 million students each year apply to and compete for a limited number of seats at top-choice colleges.  Now, the question that looms large is this: How will you ensure your child's path to college is paved with triumph?

Picture a world where your child thrives, where their dreams take flight, and where their potential knows no bounds. College isn't just a destination; it's the gateway to a lifetime of possibilities---a launching pad for their aspirations, passions, and a brighter tomorrow. So, how will you guide them towards their top-choice college?

The college admissions process can be grueling. Quite common for parents and students alike are feelings of pressure to get into college related to high expectations and everyone asking where they will be going to college, stress related to the time required to apply and the many deadlines that can't be missed and the essays, interviews, and tests.  It is also frustrating as rejection is hard, waiting is hard, the application process is hard. Students commonly experience anxiety related to pressure, waiting, and not knowing if disappointment is around the corner.

Will you settle for mere adequacy, or will you empower your child to soar? Will you let uncertainty and doubt hinder their journey, or will you equip them with the tools and strategies they need to surpass their peers and shine? And wouldn't it be cool if they took some ownership in this? The choice is yours to make.

Securing your child's admission to college is no longer just about good grades and a lengthy list of extracurricular activities. It's about nurturing their unique talents, molding their character, and helping them craft compelling narrative that captivates admissions officers.  It's about unleashing their full potential---the version of themselves that exudes passion, resilience, and an insatiable thirst for knowledge. 

So, how will you unlock their brilliance? Will you provide them with enriching experiences, encourage them to engage in impactful community service, or guide them towards forging their own innovative projects? Will you empower their creativity, curiosity, and tenacity to shape a captivating story that demands attention? How about leaning into professionals who understand college admissions and can shine some of this opportunity on your child?

My High School to College Story

As a high school senior I was conflicted about the college I wanted to attend. On my list were two Chicago- area schools of Loyola University and Northwestern University, two Boston-area schools of Boston College, and Babson College and two schools in my home state of Nebraska of Creighton University and University of Nebraska-Lincoln. After visiting, getting accepted to, and submitting my deposit to Boston College I made the last-minute decision to accept a Leadership and Academic Scholarship to Creighton University in Omaha, NE.  I loved the ideals of Creighton, could be closer to family, and benefited from a more affordable college choice. So glad it worked out.

My path through high school involved getting good grades and graduating with honors, participating in swimming, track, and cross country, serving on student council and was senior class president with the privilege of speaking on stage on my graduation day.

To say I was ready for college is an understatement. I was so excited to adventure out into the world and 100 percent loved my college experience---my friends, teachers, advisors, classes, campus, clubs, internships. And I did learn a valuable lesson. It's more about HOW you go to college wherever you go to college. Like life, it's largely HOW you show up.

I found my spark at college and was fortunate that I did what I did in high school to put me in the position to go to and do college the right way. I channel my personal experience and energy into this challenge and with every student I interact with

How Will You Secure Your Child's College Success?

I understand the immense responsibility that comes with shaping your child's future. The College Ready Challenge is intentional and purposeful in supporting our students. The Challenge will equip them with information that will get them thinking, motivated, and confident about their approach and path to college. The goal is that your child will unlock their true potential, unearth their authentic passions, and craft an application that leaves a lasting impact. And for you, the parent, how would it feel to reduce some of your stress and get some third-party support from someone in both your corner and your child's corner?

Don't waste valuable summer months. Be purposeful. It's time to set your child on a trajectory towards college success. How will you empower them to conquer challenges, overcome obstacles, and create a legacy that resonates within the halls of academia?  

The journey to college may seem daunting, but with our challenge you possess the keys to help unlock your child's brightest future. 

So, tell me, how will you secure your child's college success? Let's embark on this transformative journey together and pave the future of boundless opportunities. 

To awesome,
