Is it too late or do we still have time?
Does my child have what it takes?
Is it possible?
Where do I even start?
These are common questions that pop-up on parent’s mind when they hear the stories of accomplished students who failed to gain admissions into top colleges.
Especially after hearing news like:
"Admissions rates dropping to historic lows on 2024"
As parents we want the best for our children.
We want them to be safe, to be happy, and to achieve their dreams and goals.
This is why we want to give them the best education.
The type of education that sets them up for a successful, high-paying career, and a fulfilled life.
But when we read headlines like these:
And so, we begin to wonder…
Is this going to be an option for my child?
Or would they have to settle for just any school that offers them a spot…
The fear of failure sets in.
Only thinking about college fills us with anxiety and uncertainty...
After all, if extraordinary students get rejected every year, what makes you or your child any different?
I want you to know that it’s okay to feel this way.
And I want to help you overcome this feelings by giving you the confidence that your child is on the right path.
I am Dr. Agnia Grigas.
Founder of College Admissions Secrets, an admissions consultancy based in Los Angeles, California.
My goal is to help motivated students gain admissions into their dream universities.
I’m talking about outstanding students who deserve to go to top colleges but can sometimes fail in the process due to lack of guidance, or by following the wrong strategy.
There are dozens of admissions myths and generic practices being spread all over the internet.
Most of these focus on getting better grades, better SAT scores, or working harder.
But the truth is, hard work is a must and expected from every single applicant.
Every single one of the hundreds of thousands of students applying for top schools is a hard-worker.
If students want to have an edge in the competitive admissions landscape, they need to do things differently.
They must have a competitive advantage.
Over the years, our students have been accepted to all the top colleges including the Ivy League, leading liberal arts colleges, and prestigious colleges like Stanford, MIT, and many others.
The best part?
They haven’t done it by donating millions of dollars to colleges, leveraging their "connections" or relying on luck.
They did it by finding their competitive advantage and working on it until they are miles ahead from their competition.
This is what we do and we’re very good at it.
If you have big dreams for your child, and want to know how you can help them get closer to their goals, I want to invite you to take an action call with one of our advisors.
This will be a 15-minute action call where they will ask you some questions about your child’s current situation and college goals, and then discuss with you the best path to accomplish these goals.

P.S. Here's how our expert team will guide your child into a top college:
#1: Strategic Edge™: We don’t rely on “magic pills” or “projects-in-a-box” to help our students stand out.
As a general rule if you see everyone else doing it, chances are it won’t work for you.
We create your child’s competitive advantage by diving deep into your child’s unique situation, this includes their academics, passions, achievements, leadership situation, etc.
In short, we find your child’s uniqueness, highlight it, and leverage it for admissions success.
#2: College and Major Selection: The old methods for college selection are outdated, the “safe, target and reach” schools model only focuses on college admission rates and ignores important factors that increase student’s chances of admission.
Our Smart Selection System™ ensures our student’s acceptance into their dream schools by taking into account a variety of factors, including the competitiveness of the major, college acceptance rates, the child’s positioning, background, and family preferences. Every school they apply for is a dream school.
#3: Golden Ticket Essay: Writing the perfect essay goes beyond telling a sob story or following “English class” style. The essay needs to be strategically designed to 1) catch the admissions officer's attention 2) highlight your child’s strategic edge and 3) align the student profile with the college expectations.
By walking our students through the entire essay writing process, we ensure they pass the “gatekeepers” and remove the burden of stress, anxiety and the feared writer’s block.
#4: Application Management: We take our students through a streamlined and organized process which covers their application, supplemental essays, recommendation letters, college interviews, submission strategies, etc.
This is how we avoid making costly mistakes that can ultimately cause students to get rejected. It’s all about timing, sequence, and strategy

The Foundations Mentorship Program is the only program designed specifically for parents of elementary and middle school students who dream of acceptance into top colleges and want to maximize their potential.
Top academics goes beyond getting good grades. We guide parents through mapping their child’s roadmap for the elementary and middle school years to ensure the best education opportunities are always available and open for them.
This gives parents confidence that their child will meet competitive college expectations without making inaccurate academic decisions that are irreversible down the road.
We guide parents through our unique extracurricular selection process to find the best extracurriculars for their child by targeting high-leverage activities with the higher likelihood of success instead of trying as many things as possible.
Our scientific approach simplifies how parents approach extracurricular activities, and helps them save time, money and energy.
A clear weakness in a child's success skills will overshadow even the best academics or extracurricular accomplishments and risks burn-out and stress.
We address your child’s personal skills profile and systematically develop any weak areas. Communication, problem-solving, leadership, etc. we cover every skill that top colleges look for and that will make your child successful.
