Successfully Help Your High Schooler Own The Process
Without Missing Deadlines Or Letting Things Fall Through The Cracks!
Does the thought of college applications fill you with confusion and dread?
Yup, avoidance seems like a good idea … but maybe the time has run out and here you are. That was me - frazzled mom with a busy teen, wondering how to start. College admissions is complex, time-consuming, and random. The whole thing is just overwhelming and you don’t know who to ask about it.
Surely the high school will help with this? Right? Do other parents know what they are talking about? How can I help my child navigate the current chaos of higher education during a pandemic?
There has to be a way to make this process easier?
Facts: There are MANY moving pieces and parts all happening simultaneously.
PLUS SCHOOLS HAVE DIFFERENT DEADLINES & REQUIREMENTS ... THE SOLUTION IS A "THREE-FER" SANITY SAVING SYSTEM, SO THAT YOU CAN (DARE I SAY) ENJOY THE PROCESS WITH YOUR TEEN!
1.
EDUCATION - feel confident after learning about the topics that make up the college application process. Empowered parents, can support their high schooler to own the process.
2.
ORGANIZATION - will be your Superpower! When you store important information, create a personalized system, follow proven processes, and save time, using just one tool!
3.
COMMUNICATION - is the ultimate goal with your teen! Minimize stress, and make it easy to collaborate with your child, by having a common place to manage the process.
here's how i found my "organized" happy ending
With my oldest child a senior, I felt so overwhelmed.
Who does what and in what order? How does it all get done? And geez, my daughter is so over-scheduled - often she is in her soccer uniform as she rushes to choir rehearsal!
High school counselors are busy with many students, and other parents are confused too!
We needed a system to survive! I didn't have "The Home Edit" on call so I built one myself!
There are in fact, many people involved and “all the things” that need to get done. I realized quickly that there was no set order to do the tasks, they all happen simultaneously!
Creating a system turned out to be a life-saver for my family. Plus, it was there and ready to go when the time came for child #2 to go through the process - priceless!
Imagine what life will be like with an organized admissions process?
What you've been looking for ~ a system that educates, organizes and fosters communication!
My signature framework - The Teach in Trello Technique - presents information on-demand by topic, includes a digital filing cabinet, and provides an online tool to collaborate with your child!
- ideal for busy parents & over-scheduled teens
SOUNDS AMAZING, RIGHT?

What’s Included in College Apply HUB?
IT'S A TWO-FER!
Module One: Introduction
Imagine if a productivity app and an online course had a baby ... yup, that's a thing and its pretty amazing too! In this first module, you’ll get an introduction to this unique COMBO online mini-course and digital organization system ... and why this is so different from other online courses.

Module Two: Admissions
Here, we’ll do a quick overview of all the pieces and parts involved in college admissions. Applying to college can be complex and often confusing, especially now during covid times.

Module Three: Academics
In this module, we will review the different factors that make up the academic part of a college application.

They often focus on the academic portion and underestimate the power of a well-written essay. PLUS, having positive relationships with the guidance counselor and teachers helps to receive glowing recommendations, also a crucial part of the process.

THE PARTS THAT CONNECT THE STORY

This module explains extracurricular activities that can be critical to presenting a powerful application. These can be items done in school such as playing soccer, singing in the choir or acting as class officer.

BE THE CALM IN THE STORM
Module Six: Parents Role
Time to have a discussion about the role of the parent or guardian, in the college admissions journey. It is SO important that the student OWN the process! This is their future and such an important decision they will make. It is crucial to have a loving adult to advise them, and celebrate with them when it is decided! As a parent who not only survived the process, but ENJOYED it, I want that for you too!

let's spill the tea
Got Q's? Here's the A's . . .
Is this program meant for the student or the parent?
Good question - It's meant for both!
There is education for both teens and parents. Being informed will help you provide the best support & guidance for your child. Some resources are just for the students.
Best of all, the system is a communication tool that can be shared by the student and parent, keeping them on track and on top of all the deadlines. No nagging required!
Is this an online course?
Imagine if a productivity tool and an online course had a baby. That new bundle of joy is what we have created in Trello.
My signature framework is the “Teach in Trello Technique”. It provides bite-sized, easy to consume education on a myriad of college admissions topics that can be referenced on-demand if & when you need the information.
Often, online courses are purchased and never finished. This is different!
Do I need to use a special program to use the system?
Yes, you will use Trello!
Trello is free and easy to use! It will organize information by topic, like using folders in a file cabinet. Plus, it can be accessed from a phone, tablet or laptop - so it goes anywhere with you.
Do I need this if I plan to hire a college consultant?
You need it even more! Knowledge is power when it comes to hiring a college consultant. There are many available choices out there, with all different areas of expertise and focus.
Understanding the process will help you make an informed decision about where your student needs help, and ensure that you spend your money wisely.
Is everything available immediately?
Absolutely! It is all there and ready to go. The START HERE board contains all of the CAC boards and bonuses. It will give you the instructions you need to get going!
You will begin by loading all the boards into your Trello account. From there, you can start to populate and personalize the system!
Can I share this with a friend?
Your purchase of College Apply Hub gives you a SINGLE USE LICENSE for yourself only.
According to our Terms of Use, it cannot be shared. However, we would love it if you mentioned it to a friend with a college-bound high school student who could benefit from it too!
How is College Apply HUB different from other programs?
First of all, CAH is the ONLY course + organization system, designed exclusively for college admissions, built in Trello!
It is an online system dedicated to organizing application info at your fingertips, for easy retrieval when needed.
The added bonus is the no-fluff instruction provided on relevant admissions topics - that you get to pick and choose if/when you need it.
How much time is required?
Applying to college is a big process!
And believe me, I get it. We are all busy! However, implementing effective systems & processes will save time and increase productivity on the daily.
So, building out a system is the first step, and it will pay dividends many times over - just imagine not having to scramble to find the password to the college board account or the deadline info for that dream school.
What if I don't know how to use Trello?
No worries! Believe me, If you can use a sticky note, you're almost there! PLUS, There is Trello Training included in the CAC Start Here Trello board.
In fact, I will bet that Trello will become your new bff for managing other areas for your home and family as well.
What exactly is inside College Apply HUB?
The system contains 6 custom-designed Trello boards + bonuses. The main instructional content is presented in the Education Hub and the Perfect Primer for Parents.
The emphasis is less on “finishing” a course, and more on building a personalized system to store important application information in a central hub for quick access when needed.
How long will I have access?
What if it's not what I expect?
No problem, there is a Money-Back No Hassle Guarantee!
You may request a refund within the first 14 days, if you do not find this helpful for the college admissions process with your child.
I am here to help! Please email me with any questions at [email protected].
