It is no secret that over the past 10 years, admission to college has become even more competitive with national and international applicants all aiming for limited spots at top universities. Yet, on average over the United States, the ratio of number of students to one guidance counselor is 455 to 1. Even at high schools with excellent resources, a guidance counselor may be in charge of dozens of student applications at the same time. ExceptionalGrad aims to help students and parents navigate this process with a personalized approach to application preparation, which helps students succeed in applying to their top choices by carefully reviewing their resume and C.V., personal essay, and entire application prior to submission. Our team of admissions experts will assist in brainstorming ideas that are unique to the student and colleges they are applying to, and provide editing by advisors with extensive experience in the college application process.
