Perfect GPAs and Test Scores Are Not Enough

Grades and test scores open doors. However, compelling narratives are the only way to walk through them. Don’t just be another applicant. Be the one admissions committees remember!

Everyone loves a good story. College application narratives are stories that students tell about themselves in their applications, leveraging real-life experiences that contribute to their character development - proving college and career readiness.
