For stressed out and confused parents of college-bound teens...
A special message from Andy Lockwood, "College Planning Guru," Best-Selling author
Dear Fellow Parent:
I should warn you, this isn't the most politically correct letter.
And it DEFINITELY isn't the "same-old, same-old" that you've heard from your guidance counselor, other teachers or parents.
This letter is about the truth - what it REALLY takes to get into a top college...
Maybe more, depending on where your child applies. Northeastern University reportedly received 90,000 applications this year, for example!
The process of getting into college today barely resembles what we went through in the 80's. Frankly, I have at best a hazy memory of writing my college essay (although I'm pretty sure it was handwritten)!
The college admissions world is upside down compared to 30 years ago. All of the "joke" colleges that admitted anyone with a pulse and a checkbook are now, all of a sudden, "Reach" schools that are impossible to get into!
Many parents fail to understand this, mostly because they wish things weren't this way.
Hey, I agree - and I wish that colleges weren't businesses too!
And I don't like that getting into college is as much about how you market yourself as it is about your academic credentials.
But what you, and I, wish doesn't really matter. If YOU refuse to acknowledge how things really work, here on Planet Earth...
...or, worse, you know how things work but put off DOING something about it until later, "when you're ready," whatever that means...
...you're in for a rude awaking when college acceptances come out in December, January and February.
You're headed for a harsh dose of reality that I can sum up in two words:
At every high school, year in and year out, the same sad tale plays out:
Kids who "deserved" to get into top college, don't...
And those with lesser academic credentials, somehow DO!
Why does this happen?
I know. And your point is?
It's not supposed to be fair. But that answer is just scratching the surface.
The complete explanation would take hours, but here's a quick summary:
To level the playing field, you've got to learn the rules of The Game.
Problem is, your guidance counselor isn't going to tell you them, either because she herself doesn't how to play...
...or because these Rules are too politically-incorrect to be disclosed "on the record!"
I have good news - you don't have to rely on your guidance counselor or other parents with limited knowledge (or questionable motives) to find out EXACTLY what your child needs to do to get into a top college.
Let me ask you a question:
What if you could "eavesdrop" on private, closed-door conversations of elite admissions officers as they discussed exactly what they wanted to see - and what they DON'T want to see - on a college application?
How much time would that save you if you could pinpoint EXACTLY what your child needs to do to get into their "Dream College?"
Not to mention avoiding the stress and wasted emotional energy that's part and parcel of the high stakes, pressure-packed College Roller Coaster?
You don't have to waste time or ratchet up the Anxiety Meter because you don't know where to start.
I've put together a short, easy to understand course on the college admissions process that will tell you precisely what admissions officers want to see.
It's all content, no fluff.
That means you won't waste any time or emotional energy guessing, because you'll be able to pinpoint the precise strategies and tactics your son or daughter needs to do to boost their odds of admission to any college!
The College Admissions Master Class consists of a series of private interviews I conducted with extremely high level sources, namely:
When you enroll, you will get immediate access to the following valuable information:
Our private consulting clients pay between $12,000 to more than $20,000 for this advice and one-on-one coaching, and they use it to help get into colleges such as Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Duke, MIT and other elite colleges.
But you won't have to fork over anywhere near that amount, if you take me up on my (guaranteed) offer, today.
Before I get to the cost for the Master Class, I want to tell you about two extremely valuable bonuses you'll qualify for if you enroll today.
I'm actually happy to reward you, on my dime, for taking action, because this is a great habit to get into when it comes to planning for college.
You can't put off deadlines, essay writing, etc. in the college process, you have real, non-negotiable timelines to get everything done.
The sooner you develop your "Action Muscles" the better!
Bonus 1: Checklist For College Applications - keep all of your passwords, deadlines and other important information in one place instead of letting the process overwhelm you into losing out on scholarships, financial aid and key admissions opportunities!
Bonus 2. A copy of my #1 best selling book on college admissions, How to Get Into Your Dream College Without Lying Bribing or Photoshopping. By the way, this is an actual book, not a pdf. I'll sign it and ship it to you myself!
You won't have to pay anywhere near our typical, outrageous consulting fees.
Although admittedly steep, clients gladly fork over this significant sum because they know that, each year, we help kids get into colleges such as Harvard, Yale, Princeton, MIT, Duke other super-competitive schools.
Our advice serves as a blueprint to help them get an edge over their fellow competitor-applicants - at their high schools - and all over the world.
If you enroll today, you won't pay even half of what they invest to get this game changing information.
Or half of a half! :)
When you say "Yes" to our College Admissions Master Class today, your investment is only $497.
That's it! A one time, token fee. It's probably less than your monthly Starbucks budget, for the love of all things holy! :)
And you have lifetime access too, which means you can use the material for each of your kiddos (cannot be shared outside your nuclear family).
Wondering why we're offering this at such a ridiculously low price?
The first reason is selfish, experience tells us that roughly 45% of our new customers to invest in another of our services or products at some point in the future. This offer gives you a way to "dip your toe" in the water to see if you like what we have to offer.
The more important reason is that I know that many people simply don't have the means to pay our admittedly super-high college advisory fees. I wanted to get virtually the same instruction into your hands at a much more budget-friendly amount.
Education that you simply cannot get from your guidance counselor (public or private high school) or anywhere else.
The third reason is more psychological - you need to get used to taking action and IMPLEMENTING advice, before you run out of time. (Talk to any parents who already sent kids to college to verify this! :)
So this low investment should nudge you off the fence and in the right direction.
There is one catch (were you waiting for one? :)
We can't offer it forever to an unlimited number of families. Even though the instruction is already waiting for you when you login, whenever you want, on-demand, the bonuses we're offering do require us to put in a fair amount of time.
Once we enroll 25 families this year, we're planning to shut down this offer.
So I hope you move forward and get this unprecedented, (almost) unfair advantage in college admissions over your competitors, today!
I hope to see you in class!
Sincerely,
-Andy Lockwood
