Applying to college feels more complicated, more competitive and more stressful than ever before. But is the competition for the “perfect” application real or only perceived? What do colleges really look for, and are we providing it here in Darien? How are Darien kids stacking up against others across America? And, what can (or should) we be doing to keep our kids in contention?
Independent college consultants Deena Maerowitz and Kristin White have over 30 years of combined experience helping our kids apply to colleges, universities and alternate post-graduate programs that yield the best fit and opportunity for each child. Their depth of knowledge and experience helps us understand today’s college application process and how to best navigate it in an increasingly competitive world.
