Harvard's disagreement essay is a trap if you approach it the wrong way. Admissions officers don't need to hear how you won an argument. They want to see how you handle opposing perspectives, communicate your beliefs, and reflect on the experience. And Harvard is just one school. Every Ivy+ supplemental essay requires its own strategy. ⏰ November 1st deadlines are less than two weeks away. If you're applying early, now is the time to get a second set of expert eyes on your essays. 📝 Our final essay review submission deadline is approaching fast.

Parents of sophomores targeting Ivy+ colleges: Being busy is not the same as building a competitive application. Here's a useful exercise: Look at your child's extracurriculars and ask three questions. Depth: Where are they developing real skills rather than simply participating? Ownership: What have they initiated, improved, or taken responsibility for? Direction: Which interests are becoming more meaningful as they explore them? You don't need impressive answers to all three today. But sophomore year is when you want to start seeing that progression. The goal isn't to have a finished résumé at 15. It's to make sure your child has room to build something meaningful by senior year. If you'd like guidance while there's still time to shape that trajectory, send me a DM and we can discuss if our team of former Ivy+ admissions professionals would be a good fit for your family. #IvyLeagueAdmissions #CollegeAdmissions #HighSchoolSophomores #AdmissionsStrategy #Admittedly

Ivy+ admissions officers aren't looking for students who have their entire future figured out. Here's what they DO want to see. 👇 Curiosity, initiative, and evidence that your child has actually explored their interests. And that doesn't have to mean launching a nonprofit or starting a business. It could look like: 📚 Taking a subject beyond the classroom through independent reading or research. 🔎 Seeking out an internship, mentorship, or hands-on experience to explore an interest. 💡 Building something, solving a problem, or pursuing a personal project because they genuinely want to. The important distinction? Your child doesn't need to know what they want to do for the rest of their life. They need to show what interests them NOW and what they've done about it. Parents, encourage exploration before demanding a career plan. 🎥 Want to hear more?
