Get Into Your Dream School
If you are a high school senior, junior, or even sophomore in Weston or the surrounding area, you are almost certainly starting to think about applying to college. And let's be honest: doing so has become incredibly complex.
From building a college list, to navigating the application process and its deadlines, to figuring out whether to submit test scores when optional, to deciphering initialisms like EA, ED, REA, and RD, and so much more, it's just completely overwhelming.
And that's all before you even start filling out the Common App. Once you get to that point, you have to decide how best to frame yourself, pick a topic, write the best possible personal statement and supplemental essays, and persuasively convey your activities and academic honors.
There's also sourcing letters of recommendation and preparing for (and then nailing) interviews—not to mention actually picking a school once you start getting decisions.
That's why Crimson Coaching Academy is bringing its proven college admissions expertise directly to Weston. We’re anxious just thinking about the process! But we’ve also been in your shoes, and we can help.
