AI can be super helpful in helping you write the essays. We applied one of our kids to private schools a few years ago and struck out.
We went through the process this year for middle school and got accepted. The guidance that AI gave me on what to include and not include in the essays helped me understand that I really messed up the applications a few years ago.

I have a much greater understanding now of what schools are looking for and how to tell your kids story. AI gave me personalized advice on who to have write recommendation letters, what to include in thank you notes, and how and when to write the first choice letter. It nailed it at every step of the way. It served as my free consultant.

Advice was tailored to each school.

AI will never have a personal relationship with schools. That’s what valuable about some of the educational consultants. They call the admissions directors on your behalf and do mock interviews with your children based on each schools individuality.

There are consultants out there that can frame your student as playing a sport that was totally false. That way rich people can take advantage of all the rich people giving each other money to agree with each other on falsehoods. Hey they might even get an athletic scholarship.

Remember the Full House Lori Laughlin. She made those crimes and exposed the corruption after she was caught for white collar crimes.

Fear not however. She is back on the covers of housekeeping magazines as the expert homemaker.

When rich people do crimes in America they are rewarded for it.

Clare Anderson. She nailed it with the school choice for three of our kids.

Think about if you spent as much time studying as you do trying to game the system we would all have leaders that are responsible citizens instead of criminal masterminds.

Peter Braverman was an absolute godsend for us this application season (actually found him via a DCUM forum). Fantastic guy who knows his stuff.

If you are currently at a private you might be able to get some information from your current school about this round of applications that can be useful for the consultant you engage.

She was beyond helpful for us to find the right fit and get in, during a non-traditional admit year.

We struck out this year for our rising 7th grader. I’d like to consult with an admissions counselor moving forward. Grateful for any recommendations
