Why is summer a good time to start college planning?

Summer is the best-kept secret in college admissions planning. Without the daily grind of schoolwork, students suddenly have so much more time. They can actually reflect, really explore their interests, and start building a super strong foundation for their applications. It’s truly the perfect window to dive deep into college research, get a good head start on those personal statements, and even check out some meaningful summer programs or internships.

By beginning in the summer, students completely sidestep the craziness of cramming everything into the fall. That’s when deadlines, homework, and all those activities just pile up. Our consultants are here to help families use this quieter time to get totally organized, think strategically, and kick off the whole process with clarity and confidence.
