Your freshman year sets the tone for the rest of high school—and your college applications. This year is your golden opportunity to build strong habits, boost your GPA, and create momentum that will carry you through the tougher years ahead.
In my 20+ years as a college admissions director, I’ve seen how much of a difference a strong start makes. Students who take smart steps early handle the challenges of junior and senior years—harder courses, test prep, and applications—far more smoothly.
Inside this 27-page guide, you’ll discover 10 proven hacks to:
Make a great first impression with your guidance counselor
Master study strategies and note-taking skills that actually work
Build an activities résumé colleges will notice
Get comfortable with practice tests long before the real thing
Team up with parents for support (without the nagging!)
Each hack comes with an actionable to-do list and dedicated space for notes—so your student isn’t just reading strategies, they’re putting them into practice.
Starting high school strong isn’t just about grades—it’s about building the habits and foundation that make their college application journey far more manageable. Families who wait until junior or senior year often spend hundreds—sometimes thousands—on tutoring, test prep, and rushed application coaching.
For the price of a takeout dinner, you’ll have a 27-page, step-by-step guide with insider hacks, actionable to-do lists, and built-in space for your student to make this plan their own. It’s a small investment now with a huge payoff later.
