What is The University Playbook?
The University Playbook is an elite college advising service that differentiates itself from its competitors by identifying the key route to success for its clients – the creation of a personal narrative or “brand” for each student. We focus on:
- Preparation (Grades 8, 9, 10): cultivating students of all learning styles as early as 8th or 9th grade to help them build a strong personal narrative based on genuine interests to serve as their “brand,” such that when they complete the college application process, they stand out to college admissions officers
- The College Process and Applications (Grades 10, 11, 12): identify, build and effectively communicate authentic personal narratives, and guide students through the college process, including standardized testing, interview skills, essay writing and application development
- Student Athletes: assist students who wish to play Division 1, 2 or 3 sports gain the best access to the colleges of their choice
- Non-US Students: assist students and their families from international school communities wishing to attend US colleges who have little or no US college advising infrastructure or knowledge of the US college admissions process
