This life-changing 9 week program will help your scholar overcome sinking admission rates and avoid devastating debt. We know the college application journey can be overwhelming, confusing, and expensive. Even the most organized and attentive parents, grandparents, and guardians can feel like they’re behind, don’t know where to start or which questions to ask.

Our exclusive tutorials and one-on-one mentoring will address every aspect of the college application journey: how to access the Common App, how to draft a personal statement, how to request letters of recommendation, how to prepare for alumni interviews, how to fill out the FAFSA, how to quickly improve standardized test scores, how to actually send your test scores, and more!

No more scouring the internet for tips or frantically emailing guidance counselors.

Whether your scholar is applying in 4 months or 4 years, Dream School will ensure the journey is empowering and exciting.
