College Admission Strategy
At Kate Stone Prep, we help students craft narratives, portfolios, and college strategies that show who they are — not just what they’ve done.
Most College Coaches Focus on Lists. We Focus on Fit.
Other coaching programs hand you a list of schools based on test scores. We teach students to deeply research programs, discover alignment, and tell powerful stories that make sense for their future.
Rely on ranking, not real data
Many families chase name-brand schools instead of real fit. We help students use data and outcomes to choose colleges wisely.
Vague admission list
Without a clear plan, students apply blindly. We create focused college lists aligned with strengths, goals, and real acceptance chances.
Essays don’t stand out
Most essays blend in. We teach students to write with purpose and voice turning personal stories into memorable admissions wins.
Our process builds applicants who know their ‘why’
We guide students through structured discovery, storytelling, and strategic planning — blending data, mentorship, and purpose.
