What do you do when both of your children work hard for an audition, and then one is chosen to perform, but the other is not selected?

How should they each deal with the news?

I find that musicians develop a unique ability to handle criticism, and also to handle rejection. I hope this episode helps teens everywhere (musicians and non-musicians alike) to take a healthy approach to the realities of daring to pursue big goals.

Is an A in a regular class, or a B in an honors/AP class more valuable for me?

How do I decide how many APs to take?

How do I schedule my classes in order to be as competitive as possible for college?

Which high school should I attend?

These are a few of the questions that should be straightforward, but end up being quick difficult to decide, because there are different colleges, and what is a good strategy at one college would be a bad strategy at another college.
Also, teens are different, and what would be a great strategy for one, would be a bad strategy for another.

So how do we know what to do?

I go over the context and background information you need in order to make the right choice for you.

Are you stressed about what is coming when you fill out the Common Application?
Do you worry that you might have gaps in your story that need to be filled, but don't know how to find them ahead of time?

I will be hosting a masterclass on May 8th in order to help you answer these questions, and give you clarity about what is important vs activities that are not important.

At the end of the masterclass, you'll have a good idea of how your application will be read, and which area of your application you will need to supplement in order to have the strongest application possible.

To register (for free), go to TILC.to/college-app

See you there!
