Steve Sandweiss and David Montesano of College Match US, two of the Seattle area’s leading experts in college admissions and test preparation, are offering an intensive College Admissions Academy from August 13th to 15th of this year.

**

What is the Academy?

The Academy is an opportunity for motivated students to complete the entire college application process in three days of structured workshops and individual counseling from admissions experts.

Why do it?

This is a great opportunity at a time when the chances of acceptance into selective colleges are at an all time low. (Newsweek). The pressure to produce an application exceptional enough to beat today’s intense competition can be overwhelming when combined with a hectic senior year schedule. But the academy offers an alternative to these potential months of stress.

More than 90% of our previous clients were admitted into at least one of their top choices. Let these experts guide you through the process and relieve you of the extra unwanted pressure of dealing with the admissions process during your busy senior year.

How can I learn more?

Please call or email us at any time for more information. (206) 417 5050 or sandweiss@gmail.com

How do I enroll?

You can enroll in the Academy simply by contacting us by phone or email. You will be required to pay a $150 deposit at the time of enrollment. Enrollment is limited to 12 seniors only.

How much does it cost?

The full Academy fee is $2200, but if you sign up before August 1st we will provide you with a $200 discount! The last date for payment is August 12th. There will be options to pay by check or online on our website. Remember, this opportunity will only be available to 12 students, so contact us soon to reserve your space.
