Striking the Balance – Standardized Tests, GPA, AP, IB, Dual Credit

Competition in college admissions has never been tougher.  How your child stacks up will be the primary deciding factor in whether they are accepted to their top college choice.  We will help you sort through the following:

  • Are preliminary standardized test scores good enough or does your student need additional test prep?
  • Should your child take AP courses and receive a lower grade versus taking the non-AP option and earning a higher grade? 
  • Are dual credit programs (early college, community college, international baccalaureate) available through your high school?

We will help you and your child analyze available options and map the best path forward for a strong application package
