Bethesda College Consulting
Bethesda Admissions Counseling: A look at our Process
Bethesda, an amazing city known for its top-tier schools, excellent students, and perhaps the nation’s highest concentration of doctoral degrees per capita. Here, students from the top schools like Landon School, Georgetown Preparatory School, Holton-Arms School and others are no strangers to rigorous academics, but the college application process? That’s a whole other thesis.
No worries though! IvySummit is here, ready to navigate you through the labyrinth of college admissions, helping you to stand out even in Bethesda’s sea of stellar students.
Our Process
Our decorated team, teeming with alumni from top-tier universities, former admissions officers, and passionate educators, has a wealth of insight into the enigmatic world of college admissions. We’ve been helping students from Bethesda and around the world for over two decades.
Our process begins by understanding you: your dreams, your strengths, your unique story. We then equip you with the tools to showcase your academic prowess and distinctive personality, crafting a compelling narrative that resonates with admissions committees. Whether it’s brainstorming essay topics, selecting the right colleges, or developing a high-impact extracurricular strategy, we walk alongside you every step of the way.
Let’s chart your path to success together!
Essays
Ah, essays! The unwelcome side dish to your college application meal. Think of them like Bethesda’s downtown roundabouts: you can approach them from many different angles, but the goal is to smoothly navigate your way through without causing a pile-up.
Our team at IvySummit will help you carefully craft your essays. We’ll ensure your narrative has a good flow and stands out among the sea of applicants.
Building a Timeline
Creating a timeline for your college application process is a critical step that shouldn’t be overlooked. From freshman year onwards, there are milestones and benchmarks that you should strive to meet. The timeline includes selecting the right classes, preparing for and taking standardized tests, identifying your interests for extracurricular activities, honing in on those activities, and ultimately, crafting your college application list, and writing compelling essays.
Starting early gives you ample time to make course corrections if necessary. At IvySummit, we’re here to guide you at each step of this journey, ensuring your high school years are as productive and rewarding as they can be, setting you up for the best possible college outcomes.
Expanding Extracurriculars
Let’s view extracurriculars as if we were playing a game of chess. Each chess piece has a role, from the humble pawn to the agile knight, and to win, you must strategically position them to your advantage. Similarly, your extracurriculars each play a part in the game of college admissions, showcasing your unique skills, passions, and qualities.
But here’s the trick – it’s not about mindlessly shuffling pieces around the board, nor is it about cramming your application with every club, sport, or society you can think of. Rather, it’s about choosing those activities that truly resonate with you, that highlight your unique strengths and interests.
At IvySummit, we are the grandmasters of college applications. We can help you strategically position your pieces to create a compelling narrative that stands out. Because, in the end, it’s not about the number of pawns you have, but how you play the game. Ready to make your move?
College Lists
Navigating the sea of colleges is like trying to pick your favorite ice cream flavor at a shop with endless options. You’ve got the classics (your Ivy Leagues), the trendy ones (those hidden gem liberal arts colleges), and the comforting familiars (your in-state universities). It’s a whirlwind, and without the right approach, you might just end up with a brain freeze!
At IvySummit, we’re your taste-testers in this metaphorical ice cream shop. We’ll help you build a balanced college list that suits your palate (read: aligns with your academic and career goals). With our know-how and a sprinkle of humor, we make the process of finding the ‘perfect scoop’ a breeze! It’s all about finding the right fit for your aspirations and abilities.
