Being a parent of a high school teenager is not easy. Children don't always come to us for advice about high school academics or college planning in part because they don't think we have kept up with all the changes in the world of higher education.
Meanwhile, with more and more students applying to top colleges in the US, it is becoming increasingly harder to get in. And college costs continue to rise.
This is why we published an easy-to-follow video course on Udemy which give students a leg up on all things college. Learn what elite colleges look for and how to systematically develop a plan to help increase a student's odds of admission.
The course developer is also our lead counselor, Rajkamal Rao - an expert on higher education. A more expanded version is already live and has been offered to high school students in the State of Washington since January, 2018.
In March 2020, his submission, "School to College," won approval from the Texas Education Agency (TEA) as an innovative course for the 2020-21 school year, valid for three years. Any school district in Texas can offer this course because it has its own PEIMS code (N1130029). [Every course taught in Texas schools must have its own unique PEIMS identifier].
