Turn Disappointment into Opportunity: Strengthen College Applications with Expert Guidance
It’s that time of year—Early Decision results are rolling out, and emotions are running high for high school seniors everywhere. Whether it’s surprise, frustration, or even anger over the outcome, one thing is certain: students need support more than ever.
For many seniors, these results represent months, if not years, of hard work and anticipation. It’s easy to get caught up in the emotional rollercoaster, but this is a crucial moment to step back, take a deep breath, and show grace to ourselves and our students.
Feeling Frustrated? Let’s Tweak and Pivot
Didn’t get the decision you hoped for? You’re not alone, and it’s not the end of the road. In fact, it’s an opportunity. Now is the perfect time for students to revisit and refine their applications.
