YOU'RE WORRIED YOUR CHILD IS NOW AT A DISADVANTAGE BECAUSE OF EVERYTHING THE PANDEMIC HAS CHANGED.

• Extracurricular activities put on hold
• Summer academics cancelled
• Standardized test scores no longer required 

TODAY’S STUDENTS ARE IN A CATCH-22 SITUATION.

Extracurricular activity involvement can make — or break — your chances of getting into a top-rated school.

If you’re looking at a private college or university, it can count for as much as 50% of your child’s scoring criteria...

But how can you participate in Extracurriculars when the whole country is struggling with a shutdown?

Talk about frustrating!

LEARN HOW STUDENTS CAN TAKE ACTION DESPITE THE ODDS.

During this inspirational Masterclass we'll share the stories of students who took an "out of the box" approach to extracurriculars and were able to secure admission to their dream college. 

Students like Martha: 

• Suffered from severe ADHD, as a result her GPA suffered significantly
• Bullied online, co-founded school's chapter of RAINN, the national sexual violence and assault prevention organization
• Admitted to Worchester Polytechnic Institute (top 21st earning college) with a $100,000 merit scholarship 

During the Masterclass we'll reveal how Martha and our other students' were able to transform hardships into opportunities.

You'll leave the Masterclass with tools for defining your own unique strategy for standing out in the college admissions process.

ABOUT DAVID MONTESANO

I started my business after gaining a global perspective on college during my own university years. I knew the strategies I had learned through my business education had a practical application when it came to getting into school, not only when it came to HOW to apply, but WHERE.

I became the first Admissions Strategist in the United States when I created College Match in 2001. When I first began, I was termed a “new breed” of college admissions consultant by The Washington Post/Newsweek for my use of business strategy techniques in positioning students for admissions success.

Since then, I have evolved this unique technique into the Montesano method, focusing on 4 stages of preparing for college admissions: SPARKS, FIRE, VISION, BRAND.
