Where High-Potential Teens Go to Prepare for College Admissions
The PrepWell Approach to College Admissions Prep
- Early Engagement - Most students begin the college admissions process far too late in the game. Our program starts in 9th and 10th-grade - when it matters most. This head-start is a game-changer.
- High-Performance Habits - My weekly videos teach discipline, study habits, self-awareness, and unconventional strategies and tactics that lead to world-class achievement.
- Milestones - We make sure your child (and you) don't miss any big deadlines or cutoffs. We know what your child should be accomplishing and when they should start.
- Whole-Student Focus - Our curriculum goes beyond college admissions. We integrate real-world skills such as manual literacy, social media management, self-advocacy, entrepreneurship, email etiquette, etc.
- Perspective - My weekly lessons are informed by a wide-range of experiences: Div I athlete, Yale and Harvard Business School graduate, Goldman Sachs Banker, Navy SEAL, entrepreneur, firefighter, college admissions expert, husband and father of four children.
