Do you need some help with your college applications?



Announcing our special, 7th annual
College Application Boot Camp” to be held Saturday, October 3rd, 2009.

Here’s how this all came about: I was in the middle of meeting with a client when it occurred to me that they were absolutely terrified of the thought of their kid filling out their own college applications.  They were worried that their kid would put it off until the last minute. Like most kids do. Also, they weren’t really getting any help from their guidance counselors, so they always had the fear that they were doing something wrong or leaving something out.

I realized that this has been a recurring problem my clients have had over the years.  Kids often talk about how exhausting the process is and how much it drained them, and how tired they were when all was said and done.  But at the end of the day, it came down to one simple truth: 

In most cases the kids put off the application until the last possible second!
 
Sure, they may talk about how they spent two and a half months working on the applications; but the reality is, they spent two months agonizing over the application, thinking about the application, and………avoiding doing it. But, then, when they finally sat down and worked on the applications, they did them in two nights or one.
Well, that’s not going to happen this year!

Topics include:
-10 steps to planning your perfect career;


-SAT & ACT myths dispelled, as well as how to improve your score by at least 100 points without studying;  Also, how to take the SAT & ACT for ‘free’.


-How to decide which school is right for you.

We’ll give you our 7 step evaluation process that works every time. We’ve never had a student that used it drop out or decide to switch colleges;


-The top 9 admissions resume tips that your guidance counselor doesn’t have the time to tell you;


-5 secrets to completing each university application perfectly…in 50 minutes or less!
-Essay writing tips from Ernest Hemingway, Larry the Cable Guy, and Harvard Admissions Officers;


-The ‘secret’ formula schools use to grade your college applications….revealed! And how to improve your chances of getting in….even at the last minute!

-How to get a killer letter of recommendation, and have the teacher thank you for asking them to write it;

-AND MUCH, MUCH MORE!!!

Each attendee will leave with a 100+ page binder full of inside information that we’ve spent years collecting and editing designed to give them concise, cutting edge information that will propel their application to the top of the ‘accepted’ pile.
Also, they will leave with a week-by-week timeline of exactly what to and when to do it. Each step is clearly laid out so there is no guesswork or panicking.
The class is free for all College Planning Specialists current clients and $195 for non-clients.  Please reserve your seats by calling (281) 822-6200.  We'll be serving Fajitas (Beef and Chicken) with all the fixin's and each student will receive a power card with 48 tokens so they can go play on the Midway after the boot camp.

       This class is designed for the student that will be starting college in Fall, 2010, or transferring in ‘10 from a community college, but all students are welcome to attend. This year’s boot camp will be held at the Dave & Buster’s, located at 6010 Richmond Ave, Houston, TX 77057 from on September 26th at 11:00am – 2:00pm.  Remember, this one is just for the students and ONE parent.
