Stack your pancakes. Think of pancakes as scholarships and financial aid. Not every school will let you layer your scholarships, but we do. So, stack your pancakes, add a couple of toppings. We’ll work with you to tailor your application and get the best package for you.

Balance your application. The optional elements are truly optional, but utilize them if you feel that there are gaps in your story not being told by your transcript, essay, or extracurriculars. For example, if your transcript isn’t as consistent as you’d like, share a test score with us to show your academic strength.

Have fun! This process is all about you. Think about what school has the major you want, with a scholarship and financial aid package that makes sense for you, in a location you want to be in.

Think about the location. I went to school in the middle of a cornfield, and if I were to do it again, I’d think long and hard about the location I was studying in. Remind yourself about the practicality and variety of the location you choose. You’ll be spending the next four years of your life in the area you pick-make sure you love it.
