Families Need to Play by the Rules to Gain Admission to College

LOS ANGELES - March 12, 2019 - PRLog -- With today's complex college applications, skyrocketing tuition costs, uncertain job market for new grads, the college process can be a major dilemma for high achieving parents desperate to get their kids into a prestigious school. "You need to play by the rules to gain admission to college," says Elizabeth Venturini, the College Career Strategist of CollegeCareerResults, a leader in private college admissions consulting. "The only one who can get your teen into college is your teen," says Venturini. She adds, "There are no shortcuts, "silver bullets" or special tricks of the trade to get your teen into a good college. And neither will cheating on college entrance exams or bribery."

Venturini is a respected expert in today's complex college system. She is well known for helping stressed-out parents get their teens in and out of college with a job they will love so they don't come back home as boomerang kids. "College admissions concerns cut across all social classes," She adds, "When I work with families, I make it very clear their teen will do the work and that we will adhere to the highest of ethical standards in the college admissions process. I don't care who you are. No exceptions."

With her "Dream Schools to Go," college admissions program, Venturini provides her college expertise worldwide to families. "I help teens with the process in an authentic way that feels good to the student. They have been accepted to some of the most prestigious schools in the US and they did it on their own," says Venturini. Today she provides three red flags to look out for if you are considering using a consultant to help you get your teen into college:

Stating they have "inside connections" to the admissions department of a top US school. If a consultant promises they can get your student into a top US school, Venturini tells families, "Run away from them as fast you can!" No ethical consultant can guarantee admittance to any school in the US.

Telling you to make a big financial donation to a school to guarantee admission of your student. It takes years to build up a donor relationship with a school. "There must be a personal connection, an alignment in personal values or beliefs between the donor and the school," says Venturini. Attempting to donate a huge amount of money for a school that your teen just happened to be applying to would be looked upon as suspicious to say the least.

Writing your teen's essay, supplements, and prompts. This is considered highly unethical among US colleges. "If your student was found to have had their essay written by someone else, it is very possible they would be denied admittance, or their admittance offer taken away," says Venturini.

"Students who work with me are ready to roll up their sleeves to do the work to get admitted into their dream college," says Venturini. "Because there is nothing that makes a parent prouder than seeing their teen with a big smile on their face say, "Mom! Dad! I got accepted!" and feeling a sense of pride they did it by themselves."
