CUPERTINO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / December 13, 2022 / It didn't take long for high school students applying to some of the more competitive and prestigious schools in the United States to realize that this year's class is facing an uphill battle.
In fact, 2022-2023 is on pace to be one of the most competitive years in recent memory as students all over the world begin to turn their attention to the upcoming early admissions results and find out whether they get into the schools of their dreams.
There are a number of reasons why this year is setting up to be so competitive. Many students deferred their enrollment until 2022-2023 due to the pandemic, which has reduced available seats.
In addition, consider the fact that there has been a surge of applications at Brown from 32,724 for the Class of 2025 to 35,438 for the Class of 2026. That marks a heavy shift in just one year. A dramatic shift was also seen at Harvard, where the number of applications soared to 42,749 for the Class of 2026, up from the 39,506 applicants the previous year.
How to Sway the College Admissions Officers
Students across the world are looking for new ways to gain an edge in the holistic process that goes into college admissions in this country.
Unsurprisingly, some individuals who have already mastered this process have decided to offer their expertise to students who have top schools on their wish list.
These professionals are known as admissions consultants. One such professional is Eric Eng, the founder and CEO of AdmissionSight. He boasts an incredibly high success rate with 75% of their clients accepted to Ivy League or Top 10 schools.
But what does working with an admissions consultant truly do for a student's chance at getting into the best schools in the world?
A clear and actionable roadmap for students
To get the success that a high school student wants, they are going to have to know exactly what colleges are looking for.
This means not only getting great grades but excelling out of the classroom as well. Admissions consultants will help students build out their profile as best as possible years in advance, help them reduce their weaknesses and bolster their strengths as application candidates. Understanding that discovery roadmap will improve confidence and chances of success.
A more enriching high school experience
High school students often sign up to work with college admissions consultants early in high school to prepare for the rigors of building their academic and extracurricular profile. In fact, it is quite common for students to even begin working with consultants before their high school journey even begins!
Students who venture this route will enjoy an enriching high school experience by being encouraged by their consultant to challenge themselves in the classroom and seek out their passions outside of it.
Without a doubt, students who work with consultants are going to seek out top extracurriculars that they are able to invest their time and energy in throughout their high school years.
The right colleges to apply to
If a high school student has a singular goal when it comes to what school they want to apply to and get into, an admissions consultant like Eng is going to make it their number one priority to help that student achieve that goal. However, they also offer a lot of highly valuable insight when it comes to helping a student decide what schools are right for them.
While high school counselors are overworked and often not truly available for a student to bounce ideas off of, an admissions counselor will always make themselves available for their students when it comes to what schools and programs may - or may not - be the right fit for a given high school student.
Develop skills that will follow them into college and beyond
Ultimately, what admissions consultants focus on doing for high school students is instill in them the crucial skills that help them become more competitive candidates. That applies not only to undergrad, but also to graduate schools, jobs and more.
From telling a unique story to expressing personal strengths, it's crucial to set yourself up for success in the admissions process. A high school student will be able to take those skills gained during AdmissionSight's program and apply them to many more challenges they face as they head out into the real world.
Find ways to stand out
At the end of the day, there's a lot of students with perfect grades and SAT scores to boast. To get a leg up on the competition, AdmissionSight helps students find ways to stand out, whether it's winning national science research or humanities competitions, or standing out through passion projects to develop the student's "hook."
From research opportunities to award winning nonprofits and organizations, to attending prestigious summer programs, AdmissionSight has mastered the formula of getting into top tier schools. With the right guidance and approach, students under AdmissionSight's guidance have continued to the beat the odds when it comes to achieving college admissions success.
