Unlock a Clear, Strategic Path to College Admissions
Admissions insight that makes sense— expert support designed for real families to help your student shine.
"The information is clear, strategic, and actually actionable—none of the vague, but expensive, advice we’ve gotten elsewhere. For the first time, I feel like we have a real roadmap and understand how admissions decisions are made. This should cost more than it does."

- Mom of a student admitted to University of Virginia
"We didn’t realize how much strategy went into the application until we took this course. Laura gives insider advice you just can’t find in a Google search. My son’s application went from 'generic smart kid' to a compelling, cohesive story — and he ended up getting into his top-choice school with a scholarship. I recommend this to every parent I know."
– Dad of a student admitted to USC

"As a first-time parent going through the college process, I was completely overwhelmed. Laura’s course broke everything down into steps that actually made sense — from timelines to essay strategy. My daughter got into several of her top choices, and I felt like I could actually support her without second-guessing everything. Worth every penny — and so much more affordable than the private counselors we looked at."
