Say goodbye to overwhelming stress and cookie-cutter approaches. Discover a methodology that sparks real growth and helps your child shine—on applications, in interviews, and beyond.
If you’re a parent feeling the weight of college admissions stress, you’re not alone. Junior and senior years can be nerve-wracking—not just for students, but for you as well. How do you help your child truly stand out in an increasingly competitive landscape?
We have a solution. At SP Grace, we’ve developed a revolutionary approach that goes far beyond tweaking essays or focusing solely on test scores. Our unique methodology helps students elevate their personal brand, highlight what makes them truly unique, and become “college smarter” faster!
It’s not about adding more stress to your child’s life. We help unlock who they already are, showcasing their strengths in a strategic way, and setting them up to thrive in college and career.
Why ELEVATE by SP Grace is Different
A Fresh Perspective
Rather than the traditional college coaching approach of zeroing in on test prep and essay corrections, we take a holistic look at your student’s strengths, passions, and potential. Our focus is on thoughtfully and strategically revealing their distinctive qualities to admissions committees.
Proven & Credible
Our method isn’t a gimmick. Dr. Carmen has guided students who’ve gone on to Harvard, NYU, the University of Michigan, Emory, and many other institutions—often landing in places that are not only great schools and programs but are the right fit for them, academically and personally.
Development That Lasts
While we cannot guarantee acceptance to a particular school, we equip students with tools they’ll use beyond the admissions process—like clarity in personal branding, higher-level critical thinking about their career interests, and articulation of their unique story. These skills matter when helping them secure internships, jobs, and other opportunities down the road.
A Unique “College Smarter” Approach
Imagine helping your young person learn not just how to get into college, but also how to thrive once they’re there. Our program elevates their ability to think and talk about important issues in a way that gives them a leg up in the competitive application process.
