“Unlike the formulaic advice many high school students receive, Elizabeth’s approach emphasizes passion and authenticity—qualities that resonate with admissions committees more than just a high GPA or a list of accomplishments. I was accepted into several schools where, based on numbers alone, I might not have expected to be competitive. I truly believe the personality and sincerity in my application made the difference.” – Student at Los Gatos High School, Los Gatos, CA
