How do students get accepted into top private school? A+ Expert Open House

2025 Private School Application Preparation Seminar

Unveiling the Real Reasons Why High-Achieving Students Struggle to Get Admitted to Top Private Schools!

In recent years, an increasing number of families have chosen to apply to prestigious private schools such as Milton Academy, Nobles, Groton, Phillips Academy, Roxbury Latin, and others. However, despite students' excellent academic performance, admission rates remain far below expectations.

Are you also wondering:

• Why do public school students with perfect grades still get rejected by top private schools?
• What "highlights" do private schools truly value in their admissions process?
• Our children participate in and win awards in academics and extracurricular activities—what are we missing?

This seminar is led by Annie, a seasoned private school application expert. Combining real cases and admission data for 30 years, she will help you understand what backgrounds admissions officers are looking for and what highlights students need to showcase to gain admission to private schools.

Testimonial:

"Thank you so much for helping me succeed in my high school application process. I'm grateful for your help finding the best schools for me, and the advice Carl gave. Without you, the applications would not have gone so smoothly, and I would not have gotten into some of the schools that I did!"

"I want to thank you for all your help in my private school application process. I am thankful to you, Evan, for helping me express myself better in my written responses and essays, and to Liz for helping me prepare for interviews. Your help and support played a key role in my success."

"First of all, thank you so much for giving me the interview lessons. They have really boosted my confidence in all my school interviews. I'm sorry that I haven't responded to your question about the types of interview questions that were asked. I was pretty busy and occupied with the essay part of the application and the amount of schoolwork I had to do. Again, thank you so much for helping me with my interview skills. I received my admission results on March 10th and got into Phillips Exeter. I attribute my success to the great interview I had with the interviewer the day after the interview lesson I had with you. I cannot thank you enough for all your guidance."

"We recently heard back from the private schools our child applied to and are very happy to share that he has been accepted at BB&N and Commonwealth. We live in unprecedented times, and the private school admissions process has been especially competitive and difficult to navigate. We want to thank you for all your support and guidance throughout the admissions process. With your encouragement, he was really able to present his best self and achieve this great outcome. Thank you again, and we wish you continued success in the coming years!"

"I am thrilled to endorse the ASC A+ Program for its assistance with private school applications. The ASC team encouraged me to strive for excellence in a variety of areas and assisted me in showing my personality to the private schools I applied to. They have helped me prepare for the SSAT, interviews, and the general application process, among other things. Their staff also offers a wonderful community where everyone supports you in being your best self. ASC has my highest recommendation."
