“Global justice advocate and community builder”

A Smith College Former Admissions Officer and a Wellesley College Graduate Coach worked with Kate 2-on-1 from 12th grade through the application.
Her team learned about her youth advocacy journal with 60+ writers and her research coalition with 35+ members.
Through Application CounselingThey chose the global justice persona and a balanced list, with Stanford as her Restrictive Early Action school.
Her activities and honors lists got line edits. She asked AP Biology and AP World History teachers and a Stanford professor for letters.
The team reviewed the full application, then she applied to Stanford without test scores.
She applied test-optional, so her 4.0 GPA, her advocacy and research leadership, and her essays carried the application.
Stanford was her first choice from the start, and applying Restrictive Early Action made that clear.
Global justice advocate and community builder.
Her love of traditional Bulgarian folk dance, which she teaches in her community, and how it connects to her interest in international relations.
Every student works 2-on-1 with a Former Admissions Officer and a Graduate Coach.
