Internship Coaching Program
There’s no substitute for experience. College admissions officers know that one of the best ways to demonstrate intellectual vitality and explore a career interest is to participate in an internship program, either in-person or remote (both are valuable). But not all internships are created equal. The best internships are the ones that provide opportunities to do meaningful work and make significant contributions to an organization, rather than relegate you to busy-work. Helping to file papers, fetch lunch or simply answer phones can certainly teach responsibility and professionalism. But it’s not going to challenge you intellectually or stimulate your curiosity, and it’s certainly not going to lead to a professional reference letter that makes colleges sit up and take notice of your accomplishments.
From Discovery to Success
Our Process
PHASE 1
Assessment
We start by learning about each student. Specifically, we want to know what makes you “you.” What makes you different from everybody else on the planet? We all have different strengths and skills, even if we haven’t identified them yet. What are your hidden superpowers? What things come to you far easier than they do to most people? What are your deep-seated passions, joys, or personal causes?
Once we’ve identified your core strengths and interests, we help you build them into formidable skill sets. By tapping into what you love, and what you’re naturally good at, we come up with challenging projects that push you outside of your comfort zone, and provide you with golden opportunities to grow, learn, and flourish. Not only will you be growing as a person, but you’ll be developing into an impressive candidate who shines. And when we identify your weaknesses, for example time management or public speaking or creative writing, we’ll work with you one-on-one to turn them into newfound areas of strength.
PHASE 2
Skills Development
PHASE 3
Intellectual Vitality
More than anything else, leading universities are clamoring to find college applicants who are naturally curious about the world, and have an insatiable appetite to explore and learn. The first evidence of this is your mastery of high school course material, but that’s not enough. Top universities are looking for students who go above and beyond the courses offered at their high school to find opportunities for intellectual enrichment. We help you make this a key part of your extracurricular involvement. Whether it’s publishing research in a top journal, securing a patent on a new invention, or earning an exhibit in a leading gallery, we help you rethink what’s possible and mentor you every step of the way.
What kind of impact do you want to have on the world? Top universities are betting that the impact you have in high school is a preview of what you’ll accomplish later in life. So we help you identify a social cause that’s near and dear to your heart, and we help you map out a plan to accomplish something substantial that helps other people. No one expects you to cure all the world’s ills as a teenager. But if you’re conscientious and concerned, and you apply the skill sets you have to make a meaningful difference in someone’s life, then that’s a remarkable story that speaks to your values, determination, and capabilities. You want universities to get the sense that once you set your mind to something, you’re unstoppable.
