After 30 YEARS in college admission, & personally guiding thousands of families through the process,
I'VE SEEN & HEARD IT ALL.
Any of this sound familiar?
👋 You’re wondering where to start or what to do next when it comes to picking colleges with your teen…
👋 You’re not sure how to talk about college with your teen because it stresses everyone out…
👋 You’re freaked out that you’re already behind…
👋 Your teen can’t seem to tell you what they want in a college or keeps changing their mind…
👋 You want your teen to land at a college where they’ll thrive & it won’t break the bank!
I GET IT.
The College List Formula Secret Podcast Training will make sure you do it right!
HERE’S THE THING…
Deciding where your teen will apply
to college is a very personal decision...
And a lot goes into building the perfect list of colleges…
WAY MORE than you’ve been taught to think!
It’s more than an analysis of your teen’s academic record and test scores.
It’s more than knowing how to calculate your teen’s REAL GPA (hint: it’s not the one on their high school transcript)
It’s more than taking your teen on a bunch of campus visits to “feel the fit.”
It’s more than what you’ve heard from your high school counselor!
…There are plenty of great matches to be made for your teen.
You just need to know how to find them.
(Good thing you’re here.)
THIS LIMITED-TIME SECRET PODCAST TRAINING IS FOR YOU
If you’re a parent of an 8th-11th grade
college bound teen who wants to…
- Fearlessly embrace the college search process (and ignore all the unsolicited advice.)
- STOP wondering WTH you should be doing and when (and HOW to calm down the stress & pressure of it all!)
- Feel confident picking colleges with your teen (and ditch the need to have the perfect amount of ‘reach’ or ‘safety’ schools because every college your teen picks will be a great fit.)
- Engage your teen in meaningful, low-pressure college conversations as early as middle school (Nope. It’s not too early!)
- Choose the perfect colleges for your uniquely awesome teen (rather than select certain colleges just for their bumper sticker cred. Ahem…I know you know what I’m talking about.)
And of course... empower yourself with clear, actionable advice from a trusted college admissions strategist with 30 years of experience in college admissions (and plenty of lessons from my own personal experience building my daughter’s perfect fit college list!)
(only available for a limited time)
Check out what other parents have to say about the secrets I spill inside this limited-time podcast that will motivate your teen to pick “right-for-them” colleges
THE COLLEGE LIST BUILDING TRAINING IS DEFINITELY WORTH YOUR TIME...
I decided to "tune in" at the very last minute last year and I'm so glad I did. My most recent experience applying to college was over 30 years ago and a lot has changed!
Excellent advice about getting grounded and really helped me focus in on how as a parent I can support my student in this college list building path.
– Krista A.
THIS TRAINING WAS WONDERFUL.
I found a good framework for talking to my teen without freaking them out.
It also guided me through two very different kids and how to narrow down searches for each of them based on their wants in addition to our limitations/resources as parents.
– Patti S.
So, who am I & what qualifies me to advise you about college admission?
WELL, I’M SO GLAD YOU ASKED…
Hey there,
I’m Lisa McLaughlin, M.Ed.
ENGLISH TEACHER TURNED COLLEGE READINESS COORDINATOR, APPLICATION READER, NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED COLLEGE ADMISSIONS SPEAKER AND NOW EXPERT COLLEGE ADMISSIONS STRATEGIST.
Whew. That’s a mouthful.
Here’s what you need to know.
After more than 2 decades working in college admission, I left the rat race.
Why?
What I was being asked to do was WAY out of alignment with my values.
I saw what the process often did to families.
I saw the pressure it was putting on our teen's mental health. Pushing them to rack up more credentials in their 17 years than most of us have as adults. (Am I right?!)
And I felt like my role was adding to the mania that has become college admissions (Gulp).
And I hated that. So I left.
Now, as the founder and CEO of The Admissions Formula, I lead with my values & do the right thing.
For me. (That means dishing out the raw truth every single day with a whole lot of candour & a big dose of compassion.)
For the 1000s of families with whom I’ve worked (that means helping their teens find and get accepted to their perfect fit colleges without drowning in pressure or stress. R-E-L-I-E-F!)
For my own college student (that means I actually used the strategies I teach on my own kid! And guess what? They worked!)
…and they will for you, too, but only if you tune in ASAP for this free College List Formula secret podcast training before it expires!
