Kick Off Your College Application

The college application and essay process can be daunting, but it doesn’t have to be! While I want you to enjoy your summer with your friends (and, of course, lots of rugby!!), summer is the best time for seniors to start working on their college applications. The fall tends to be exceptionally busy, especially if you have a full load of rigorous courses, so it is always best to complete the bulk of your applications/essays over the summer if possible. You'll thank me later!

Here are a few of my favorite resources (videos and articles) that you absolutely MUST look at before you start your applications. Enjoy!

“I came to ArborBridge based on the recommendation of a friend who’d used them. When I started my studying I had almost no knowledge about the American exam system and went through a very steep learning curve with Dan. The tutoring was always driven by specific improvement which was incredibly helpful and allowed me to improve very quickly, eventually ending up with a score far better than anything I would have expected when I started.” – Nick W. UK, ACT (Final Score: 36, +4 pts)
