Stories Are the Ticket to Admissions Gold.
Golden Ticket Admissions supports students at every stage in developing college applications that highlight unique personal and intellectual potential. Admissions committees want to understand how students—as whole people—will grow and thrive in college.
Since applications are evaluated from a multidimensional lens, we believe students should engage with their applications similarly. Golden Ticket Admissions approaches college counseling as a profound opportunity to inspire teens to live their high school years with meaning and intentionality, and dig deep to showcase their strengths in the best light.
