Maximize your Summer!

Summer is a great opportunity to spend time with family, go to the beach and just relax a little.  But as your coach, let me advise you not to spend all day taking it easy.  Superstar students know that summer is the best time to catapult yourself ahead in your college journey.

Seniors: You are in the home stretch! You will be applying to colleges in the fall and from your emails to me, I know that many of you are nervous about the competition, where to apply and your college essay.  Don’t fret – just get started early!  Come to one of our Application Academy workshops and we will guide you through every step of the process.  Then you can relax and enjoy Senior year, knowing that you are WAY ahead of the game, with your college applications done!

Juniors: Hopefully, as you and your parents read this, you are engaged in a dynamic and interesting summer plan that will make you stand out to the Admissions Committee.  If so, great!  If, on the other hand, you find yourself without a plan; it is not too late to maximize your summer. DO SOMETHING. A job, an internship, volunteer work, an independent project.  Check out my summer article in Atlantic Avenue Magazine HERE for more ideas.

Sophomores, Freshmen & Middle School:  You should also be focusing on creating unique summers (see above).  But this is also a time for you to work on your academic and standardized testing plan.  Make sure you know which courses you are going to take each year, and when you are going to take the SATs.  Timing is crucial, and I know from your emails, that there is a lot of confusion.  Spend the time now to create a plan, so that you don’t miss out on rigorous classes, or that second chance to nail the SAT.  Give us a call if you want to come in and talk about your plan. 

As always, I love to hear from you!

Keep the emails coming.
