How to Get Into Stanford, Duke, MIT, & More in 2025 & Beyond

Stanford, Duke, and MIT have acceptance rates as low as—or even lower than—the Ivy League.

Every year, tens of thousands of high-achieving students apply to Stanford, Duke, MIT, and the UCs — yet only a tiny fraction make the cut. So what separates those who get in from those who don’t?

In this exclusive webinar, I’ll pull back the curtain on the admissions process at these ultra-competitive schools and show you exactly how to craft an application that stands out in a sea of excellence.

Here’s what I’ll cover:

• The biggest mistakes strong students make—and how to avoid them
• Why top schools reject thousands of “qualified” applicants each year
• How to position your academics, extracurriculars, and essays for maximum impact
• The critical role of application theme, deadlines, and school choice in admissions success

I’ll also answer your questions LIVE throughout the webinar!
