College Admissions is not just about an essay or applications...it's about much MORE!
1. Why should I choose College Admissions Boot Camps (CABC) over a summer application camp?
College Admissions Boot Camps is not just about completing applications. It's about much much more! The college admissions process is like a pie. Different slices include, application, essays, recommendations, extracirricular activities and intracirricular activities, SAT/ACT planning, interview preparation and much more! The process is constantly changing based on changes in the economy, demographics, politics, college administration and admissions committees' views, acceptance/rejection rates, global changes. So you should attend a College Admissions Boot Camps that understands and addresses the dynamically changing admissions proces. It is more than just filing out an application!
2. Who should attend College Admissions Boot Camps?
Current high school juniors who will be rising seniors this summer.
Students who are interested in applying to Ivy League, highly selective and competitive colleges.
Students interested in working in small groups and one-on-one consultations with personalized assistance.
3. My child has high grades, high SAT scores, volunteered abroad, excellent recommendations and is preparing to write a great essay. I believe that he/she is phenomenal. So why should he or she need to attend CABCs?
The above qualifications are now par for the course when applying to competitive, selective and Ivy League schools. At CABC, we say to parents that "your child is unique like every other competitive and smart student applying to top-tier schools". For every one great student, there are locally 50 or more students that have a similar profile. We help students stand out! They become unmatched and unparalleled in the admissions process! At CABC, we know that strategies in and during college admissions is not formulaic, but is personalized.
4. My child is interested in applying to an Ivy League college. Why should he/she need to attend CABCs?
CABCs is a BHA Education Consultants and Pinnacle Educational Center partnership. In 2004, BHA established the Ivy League Student Network specifically to obtain cutting-edge knowledge about Ivy League schools that can help clients gain a competitive EDGE during the college admissions process. In 2011, Pinnacle established its new service unit,Ivy League Admissions Advisors, which consists of Ivy League trained educational consultants, alumni, and former admissions officers and directors. That knowledge is not readily accessible by parents, school alumni, high school counselors (public schools) or college counselors (private schools). We pass this knowledge on to our camp attendees.
5. How many students are there during each scheduled session?
We prefer to have the opportunity to provide one-on-one consultations during the CABC. We limit the number of attendees per session to up to a maximum of 5 attendees per session.
6. Why does CABC cost only $7,500 as compared to other camps that cost more?
CABC is held at Pinnacle Educational Center's facilities in Greenwich, CT and Midtown Manhattan. We do not have the overhead costs of renting a facility or a meeting space so we can charge $7,500. We pass that savings on to our attendees. Why should you pay more?
