Help For Parents

For most students, the road to college is a family affair. Decisions made as early as 8th grade can have long lasting implications about the kinds of opportunities that will be available after high school. The college application process has changed drastically in the past 30 years. Many parents fondly recall simply mailing their typed applications to a handful of colleges (yes, it was pre-internet for many of us), only to be accepted at most or all of them. Well, times have certainly changed! The advent of standard platforms, like Common App, have led to a dramatic increase in application volumes, which, in turn, has resulted in record low acceptance rates and decisions that seem to make little sense to the average applicant. With so much conflicting information, it’s no wonder parents feel anxious and ill-prepared to help their children navigate high school and guide them to college.

The Mauler Institute™ is dedicated to helping families navigate the road to college with minimal stress and anxiety. A critical part of that is arming parents with the correct information, tools, timelines and advice to guide and support your children to success.

Preparation is important. After all, every choice a high school student makes, from the classes they take to the activities that fill their summers will impact their college admissions process. Do you know how to guide them through this important journey?

If you are like most parents, you are probably a little overwhelmed by the college planning process.

How many APs should my student take?

When should they start preparing for standardized tests?

How much community service should they have?

Shane Bybee, president of Bybee College Prep, and I are joining forces to simplify the college planning process and to answer all of your questions about how you can prepare your child for post-secondary success. “Graduates” of Parent University will leave the session with a strong understanding of:

  • An overview of the college admissions landscape
  • What colleges look for in successful candidates
  • The components of the application process
  • A timeline of important activities during each year of high school
  • How to position your students for success, including course selection, extra-curricular plan, and standardized testing strategy
  • How to select the right colleges for your student

Parents will leave the session with a college planning binder, filled with important tips, common mistakes, and templates to help you stay organized and confident through the college planning process. Parent University is best suited for parents of high school students, from rising 9th through 12th grades.
