(1888PressRelease) October 13, 2009 - More teenagers are applying to college today than ever before, and the competition for spots at top tier colleges and Ivy League schools is shocking – in 2008 Harvard had a 7% acceptance rate and this year they received close to 30,000 applications. The college admissions process is not transparent. It is no longer simply a matter of achieving decent grades, participating in a few extracurricular activities and writing an essay about a personal experience. On top of a stellar transcript, students must set themselves apart.

With summer over and seniors making the final push to earn extraordinary grades; compete in top high school contests; and score well on standardized tests, many of them forget how important it is to showcase those achievements in a winning college application…and time is running out to do so. To up the odds of students’ admission into top colleges, it is imperative to make an early application plan; those students applying Early Decision—a binding application—to their top-choice school have a significantly better chance of receiving an acceptance letter. Most Early Decision applications are due November 1 or 15th!

Top college admissions consultant Dr. Michele Hernandez and parenting guru Mimi Doe joined forces to help families navigate the daunting process of applying to college and help students set themselves apart. For the past six years, Hernandez and Doe have offered rising seniors an intensive, four-day Application Boot Camp® to move them through the process with ease. The 2009 sessions ended in August, with a select group of 40 students from around the world taking the opportunity to join this internationally acclaimed program.

With more and more students and families recognizing the need for this service, Application Boot Camp® is excited to announce new programs for seniors to finish their early college applications quickly using the proven Application Boot Camp® method.
