Why September Is Already Too Late
Still hasn’t started. “I’ll do it this weekend.”
Panic mode. Late nights. Arguments. Tears.
Essay written at 11:59 PM with typos no one caught.
Meanwhile:
- 9.5 million applications submitted last year
- Acceptance rates at top schools now in low single digits
- Your student’s essay isn’t homework—it’s their shot at standing out
Dr. Yo Built Boot Camps to Fix This:
Five focused days in summer takes away
Five panicked months in fall.
Students who complete their Common App before senior year starts have a major advantage.
That’s it. That’s the entire solution.
Summer plans change—we’re happy to help you switch sessions later if needed (space permitting).
