Forging Competitive College Admissions Strategies
The College Admissions Challenge
Each year the college admissions process becomes more complex, the acceptance rate at top colleges declines, and the cost of college increases. Given these conditions, it's no wonder that so many of our high school students and their families are overwhelmed at the prospect of navigating the college admissions process!
Foundry Admissions Strategies was created to help shoulder the burden and lighten your load in the college search and application process. We help you attack the admissions process with military-like strategy and precision (after all, we come from a military background!). Finding and applying to the right colleges should be exciting and enriching, not incredibly stressful. We're here to show you how.
Our priorities
YOUR
FIT
YOUR FIT
Choosing a college that provides the right "fit" is critical to having an enriching, enjoyable, and successful college experience. Working together to find this "best fit" college will be a key component in our efforts to establish and execute your college admissions strategy.
YOUR
STORY
YOUR STORY
We're experts at ensuring your personal story is adequately highlighted to admissions committees. SAT scores, GPAs, and AP courses are great, but they're only a part of the total picture. We each have unique experiences that shape our views and make us interesting. Working together, we'll ensure that your experiences and perspectives are displayed compellingly!
YOUR
WALLET
YOUR WALLET
It's no secret: college is expensive. College admissions advising doesn't need to be. Our pledge to you is that we will keep our prices as low as possible and work to ensure that whatever money is spent working with us will be returned in the form of scholarships or financial aid as a result of the admissions package we help you compile.
