Importance of taking breaks for students

Check out this video about the importance of taking breaks especially when students are under stress.

The start of the school year can be a challenging time for high school students. The rigor of classes increase and students are balancing more classwork along with their activities and other responsibilities. I notice high school sophomores and juniors feel more stress and academic pressure this time of year as they adjust to a new level of rigor and expectations in classes. Additionally, for high school seniors applying to college, September and October are the most stressful months due to application deadlines. As a result, it is common to see high school students feel stressed out and even have an emotional meltdown/release, especially in October. We tend to get many requests for calls this time of year because students are stressed and parents are just unsure of how to help their kiddos. Taking breaks can help students recalibrate and re-energize so they can continue on to get work done.

In the two years since then the capabilities and accessibility of AI tools have grown exponentially, so it is safe to assume that at this point admissions offices that are not deploying AI in their review process are in the extreme minority. If we can be almost certain that some components of your application will be screened with the use of AI, how does that change the ways students should ...

When the time comes, how do you choose a college?

 With the May 1st national deposit day in sight, the tables turn for students and families who’ve spent months anxiously awaiting college decisions, and it’s time to decide what’s right for you . While you may be compelled to check the rankings, we have a different approach. Here’s how we encourage you to make your own best decision – #1 Break up with the rankings: There are all kinds of college rankings and ‘best of’ lists out there…and while that may have led you to apply to a certain school, we encourage you to leave all those external validations behind when it comes time to make your college decision. The truth is, no ranking list can tell you if you will be happy, if you will build a great community, meet amazing mentors, or shape the life you want to. Nothing can tell you this with certainty, but decision time is the perfect time to step away from the noise of what everyone else thinks about a college and tap into your own intuition. Here’s how: #2 Ask yourself: how will I m...
