If you’re the parent of a high school junior in the Class of 2027, you’ve probably already felt it: college admissions is more competitive than ever.
Acceptance rates are shrinking, stress levels are rising, and families are left wondering: How do we make sure our teen stands out?
The truth is, great grades and test scores aren’t enough anymore. Colleges want students who know how to tell their story and present themselves strategically.
That’s exactly why I created The College Application Action Plan (CAAP).
CAAP is designed to help families cut through the noise, reduce stress, and give students the tools they need to shine in this process without the overwhelm.
For just $47/month, you’ll get the structure, insider advice, and real-world strategies your family needs to approach college admissions with confidence.
🎓 The Story: Every teen has a unique narrative. But most don’t know how to tell it effectively in essays, activities lists, or interviews. CAAP helps students uncover and refine their personal story so colleges see them as more than just a GPA.
🎯 The Strategy: Strong applications aren’t about chance. They are about planning. Which schools to apply to, when to apply, how to position extracurriculars—CAAP provides a clear roadmap so families stop guessing and start making informed choices.
And because this is a family process, CAAP makes sure both parents and students are on the same page. We know parents and teens digest information differently, so CAAP delivers lessons and Zoom sessions separately for each. Parents get clear guidance in language they can act on, while students get practical, step-by-step directions they can actually use.
