Harvard, Stanford, & Other Top Colleges Notice The Applicants Who Prepare Early!
But here’s the truth:
Only a few people truly know how admissions officers actually read the Common App.
This is your chance to get an insider walkthrough of the Common Application — before most students even start.
Led by a Former Duke Admissions Officer, this exclusive webinar will break down exactly how admissions officers from schools like Harvard, Stanford, and Duke assess applications — and what you can do now to stand out in 2025.
You’ll get a section-by-section breakdown of the Common App, real examples from successful applicants, and advanced strategies that go far beyond grades and extracurriculars.
With so much on the line, you can’t afford to wait until fall to start planning.
Here’s what we’ll cover:
- How the Common App has changed for upcoming admissions cycles
- Common mistakes even strong students make — and how to avoid them
- How to maximize your candidacy with overlooked sections of the Common App
- How your application theme, deadlines, and school choices play a crucial role in a successful application strategy
Our speaker will also be answering your questions LIVE throughout the webinar!
