College Prep: Peace of Mind™

If you think 8th or 9th grade is too early for college planning, think again. In today’s complex world, reasoning trumps memorizing, teamwork beats individual genius, and matriculation means nothing without articulation. In short, EQ over IQ. This explains why top universities around the world routinely reject applicants with perfect grades in favour of those with critical thinking skills and empathetic nature.

In today’s world one must have the necessary wherewithal to follow opportunities wherever they exist. You’re no longer competing just with Rashmi next door, but with Nigel from the U.K. and Juan from Brazil, for a seat at elite universities worldwide. You need to stand apart from others and make universities want you.

The only way you can demonstrate you’re special is with activities that you do outside the classroom. After all, top grades and high SAT score, while mandatory, are just numbers. Colleges want to know that you’re more than that with SAT preparation. What matters to you? What have you done for society? What are your passions? In short, what makes you, you?
