The 3 Biggest Mistakes Smart Families Make With Ivy & Top-25 Admissions

Skool: https://www.skool.com/top25strategyla... Most high-achieving students get rejected from top schools not because they weren't smart enough, but because their families were playing the wrong game. With 15 years in college counseling, I've seen it happen over and over: perfect GPAs, strong test scores, packed activity lists and still no Ivy offers. The difference between students who get in and those who don't usually comes down to 3 mistakes most families don't even realize they're making. Depth over breadth, direction over busyness, and starting earlier than feels necessary: that's what actually moves the needle at the Ivy and top 25 level. I put T25 Strategy Lab together as a way to bring industry leading college counseling to everyone. I oversaw 100+ employees including full time former admissions officers and reviewers from Stanford and other Ivy League/Top15 institutions including Yale, Columbia, Johns Hopkins, UC Berkeley, and more. Nearly 3 out of 4 of my students were admitted into Ivy or Top 25 schools for their intended majors and over 95% got into a Top-50. My students collectively received over $30 million in merit based scholarships.
