College Application Coaching at Study Hut
The college application process can be complex and daunting, and the admissions race becomes more fiercely competitive every year. How we envy our parents, who once thought of UCLA as the “surfer school” — long before it became flooded with over 100,000 applications annually.
Today, applying to a top university requires:
- A strong GPA
- An impressive extracurricular résumé
- Outstanding SAT or ACT scores
- And — just about — the best essay you’ve ever written on the most difficult topic: yourself
Even with all the right ingredients, organizing and presenting it all — especially representing yourself in one thousand words or less — can create overwhelming anxiety.
We’ve Been There — And We Can Help
How do you make the right choices? What do you highlight from four years of high school and fourteen more of life? What do you say — and how do you say it?
These are the same questions we faced when we applied to college. And now, we help our students navigate the same challenges year after year — with confidence and clarity.
For Students Still Discovering Themselves
If you’re like most teenagers, you probably have only a vague idea of who you really are — and that’s okay. Even if you know yourself well, you’ll still need to translate that understanding into words that resonate with an admissions officer.
If you’re unsure about where to start, how to structure your application, or what story to tell, we’re here to help.
