Make great use of your time at home by getting your college application FINISHED now with our help!
You can. And frankly, you should. And Here’s why.
This year was officially the MOST competitive college application season we’ve witnessed in our nearly 20 years of coaching students. We know that right now the process of applying to college appears daunting and can rattle even the most confident student. But it need not be the soul-searching, sanity-sucking nightmare you’ve heard that it can be.
Like most things in life, a little advance effort and preparation can go a LONG way in reducing stress AND improving your odds of success.
To this point, each summer for the past 18 years, we’ve offered a 5-week step-by-step live and interactive program (syllabus attached) that helps rising 12th graders complete their college applications over the summer, apply with confidence in the Fall and enjoy multiple great college acceptances in the Spring. With a proven and supportive curriculum that includes a hybrid of weekly live, instructor-led online classes and private one-one application assistance, students who enroll will:
1) complete each section of their Common Application,
2) write a killer, stand-out personal essay and Activities List and
3) Proudly have a fully submit-worthy college application ready to go before they step foot in school for their first class of senior year!
Here’s How We’ll Help You Get It DONE!
Our 5-week virtual program allows your student to FEEL PRODUCTIVE during these uncertain times…and get the Common and Coalition Applications COMPLETED with confidence.
There is no nagging, no panic, no procrastination! We walk you through the entire admissions and application process, step-by-step. We teach you exactly how to write a killer college essay; we’ll help you find your own voice and story. Even better, we have your essay reviewed by an actual Admissions Officer.
We ensure that you craft an admissions resume and activities list that properly showcases your
accomplishments.
We’ll help you fine-tune your college list; we’ll teach you about funding, financial aid and scholarships and walk you through the various applications to make sure you maximize every scholarship opportunity.
Previous years participants have confidently applied to and gotten into great colleges. Equally important they’ve been able to navigate the entire process without suffering needless stress and without sacrificing their family’s sanity.

Carla Holness
Carla Holness is a professional with more than 20 years experience in higher education. She grew up in Western Massachusetts and graduated from Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts (formerly North Adams State College). Carla landed in Florida in 2000 and hasn’t looked back at those cold New England winters since she arrived. After many years working in Admissions at both public and private colleges, Carla transitioned to the “dark side” (Student Loans). She continued her work in higher education on the financial aid side of the house as a professional with Nellie Mae, Sallie Mae and SunTrust. A shift in the student loan industry gave Carla an opportunity to return to the wonderful world of admission where she had the opportunity to continue to assist students and their families with the process of choosing the right college or university. In her spare time, Carla loves spending time with her husband, Dennis and friends, traveling and dancing. She has a great sense of humor and believes that having a positive spirit in all circumstances is important. She is passionate about her work as a higher education professional and knows she can make a (positive) difference to those she interacts with.
"Once again, thank you for all of your help throughout the whole college admission process. Your help is greatly appreciated as you played a huge role in me having great colleges to decide between and in reaching a final decision."
"I couldn’t thank Peter enough and I would be more than happy to recommend you guys. The information was more helpful than I'd expected. Thanks again, guys, for being such a great and important help to my family!"
