CALM, STRUCTURED, ACTION ORIENTED

​“My daughter and I were constantly arguing.  I wanted her to make progress on her applications and she resisted.  Once we hired LBU, the stress left our house.  LBU seamlessly worked with my daughter, giving her a sense of calm.  She met all deadlines, followed up on action steps, and got her applications done on time."

CONFIDENCE TO CHALLENGE THE STATUS QUO

"We had no idea that we should question our son's course load -- we just thought our guidance counselor would guide us to the right schedule.  We were wrong.  Based on the colleges on my son's list, academic rigor was the number one criteria for acceptance.  LBU counseled us to change his course load by adding three more APs.  The highly competitive schools that our son applied to wanted to see that he challenged himself to the fullest in high school.”

INFORMED APPLICATION STRATEGY​

“Our daughter's dream school was Vanderbilt and she worked really hard in high school.  Got great grades, led lots of activities and devoted many summers to non profit organizations.  She was a strong candidate but she was up against a lot of strong candidates.  LBU helped to hone her application to tell a strong, cohesive story and advised to apply early decision to Vandy, to improve her chance of acceptances.  She is now part of the Vandy graduating class of 2022.”
