College Admissions
Unique You
Securing a spot at a "dream" college demands more than just impressive GPAs or high SAT/ACT scores. Equally critical are the alignment between the student and the institution, the narrative they weave, and the overarching cohesion of their application. At NorthStar, we collaborate with your child—ideally beginning in 9th grade—to craft a long-term strategy that harmonizes his or her academic choices, standardized testing, extracurricular pursuits, and personal essays with individual strengths, interests, and aspirations. In today’s hyper-competitive admissions landscape, where many candidates boast flawless scores and GPAs exceeding 4.0, how can your child differentiate himself or herself in a pool of equally accomplished applicants?
