Your students will now know their chances of admission in advance at over 150 of the nation’s Top Colleges (including the Ivy League!) – with a 94% accuracy rate! This program was designed and developed by Ivy League-educated experts that assess hundreds of variables – from extracurricular activities to GPA – and tells the student exactly how likely they are to get into each college. Unlike many counselors who use broad labels such as “reach” or “safety” schools, our report will quantify their chances of getting in using percentages. The program combines admissions expertise with advanced statistical analysis to give your Students their probability of admission at the colleges they are considering. Knowing whether your student has an 83% chance of getting into a college or a 35% chance enables you and your student to make the best and most informed application decisions.
4. A Follow-Up Student/Parent Q&A Interview with Your own Private NACAC Admissions Coach. In addition to the one Student Interview the Student will get in our Basic Package, Parents will have a phone call with a NACAC Counselor (and the Student) right before it’s time to send out those Admission applications. You will have access to a personalized Q&A follow-up interview with a NACAC Certified Admissions Coach where both the Student and the Parents can ask ANY follow-up questions about schools, admissions, applications, things they need to be doing now that they’re down to the wire, etc…
