We firmly believe that each student possesses a unique combination of personality traits, interests, and talents. However, from our experience and from psychological research we understand that young people often have problems recognizing and articulating their strengths in essays and interviews. This can hurt their applications. We help young people identify their talents and teach them how to successfully describe them, effectively building their confidence far beyond successful college admission.
Whether you’re interested in our signature, long-term comprehensive plan or a concentrated on specific problems service like our Panic Button or Essay Rescue offerings, we will get to know your student in the same way through a complimentary introduction meeting and an elaborate, research- and analysis-based consultation:
UNCOMMON App’s signature comprehensive plan centers on building a long-term relationship with your student. This program is most effective when activated during the student’s sophomore year of high school, in preparation for choosing consequential junior year courses. In getting to know your student as early as possible, we will also get on track for competitive summer programs relevant to their college aspirations.
The comprehensive plan entails an extensive commitment and promises the best results. UNCOMMON App welcomes a select number of new students into this exclusive program annually.
Admissions essays are often the most intimidating application element for students who struggle to put into words what is most important to them.
