You’re probably wondering…
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 good colleges.
Or when they hear on the news:
"Admissions rates dropping to historic lows on 2022"
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: Student Success: While most students focus only on grades and SAT scores we go a layer deeper.
We dive into the students' curriculum and achievements and figure out how to align it to their college goals.
We focus on their habits, identity and executive functioning skills to make them potent students with solid foundations for success.
And we give them a standardized test strategy that fits their unique situation.
#2: Student Branding: While most students jump from extracurricular to extracurricular throughout their high-school years, we help them find the one thing that they are passionate about and we give them the confidence to pursue it without limits.
Then we help them build a unique project or achievement to develop their skills, gain real-life experience, and give them their biggest breakthroughs.
And we combine these experiences to gain a competitive advantage that will make them stand out in a crowd of A+ students, their student brand.
#3: Golden Ticket Application: Most students wait until their senior year to start stressing out about their application, building their school list and working on their essays.
Not us.
We do things differently and begin with the end in mind.
We do the heavy lifting on the first two steps of our process so by the time they need to begin filling their application they just need to add the pieces together.
We guide them into creating the perfect college list for them early on, we advise them and coach them on how to write a perfect admissions essay that outshines the competition, and we take them by the hand on the whole application process with minimum stress.
