Top College Admissions Checklist: Action Items for Each Year of High School
- Zoom
Presented by
Martin W.
Former Stanford Asst. Dean of Admissions
Every Year Sends a Signal to Admissions Officers
The question is whether your child’s profile is sending the right one.
By senior year, the story behind your child’s application is set — their academic rigor, activities, leadership, and direction. The strongest applications are built gradually, year by year, with purpose and timing. On November 24, Aidan will explain exactly what to focus on in each year of high school to build a compelling, competitive application.
You'll Discover:
- The milestones that matter in 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th grade
- How to build depth, direction, and leadership — not just participation
- What admissions officers look for beyond strong grades and test scores
- How to avoid the “well-rounded but forgettable” application profile
- How top students create a cohesive, stand-out narrative over time
