Spring has officially sprung at Next Step Advising, LLC and we have
a few messages about promotions, summer boot camps for soon-
to-be-seniors, the new DIGITAL SAT, and our new advisor Nick!
First, if you missed our March $17 St Patrick's Day consult special,
we are extending it through spring break (until April 15). Use code:
lucky when booking online at: www.NextStepAdvising.com. Booking a
consult in 9th grade is NOT too early if you are considering our services. The
sooner you join, the easier the process (and it doesn't cost more!).
Next, it is more important than ever to maintain your grades
during the first semester of your senior year - the trend is increasing
with colleges holding off in making their decisions until AFTER viewing mid-
year senior grades. To help you focus on your studies during senior year (and
INCREASE your chances of getting into your best fit
school), we recommend enrolling in an application
and essay summer bootcamp or our rising-senior
five-session package during the summer. These
sessions are unlike those offered at the high school.
We will address the needs of the individual student
(essay brainstorming, applications, reviewing
schools, and advise on any last minute testing
strategies that may have fallen through the cracks),
while working in a small group setting in the town
of Clinton or if you prefer via zoom. Enrollment
is open to all students in Hunterdon County and
surrounding areas until June 15 or until all spaces
are filled.
Students in the class of 2025 will be the
first to submit the new Digital SAT with their
college applications (that is, if you choose to take
a test, AND if you prefer the SAT over the ACT).
We are working with CompassPrep and offer free
diagnostic testing and test plans when using
our services. We have you covered! As a former
College Board employee, I am really excited and
optimistic that this new digital adaptive test which
lasts only two hours will be a game changer in the
testing world.
And finally, as we mentioned in the last
Newsletter, we have welcomed Nick Linfante
onboard! Nick is a current elite private school
college advisor with more than fifteen years of
experience in education and KNOWS our high
schools as a resident of Hunterdon County. He is
a graduate of Voorhees High School and Boston
College, and he has room to take your junior
onboard now. We have no doubt once word gets
out there will be a waiting list for him too! Juniors
who join with Nick will receive 30% off
the comprehensive package price until his
caseload is full. Our goal with all of our clients is
to finish as much as possible BEFORE senior year
begins.
We are committed to empowering and
educating students on how to find their
best fit school and career. Please see our
website: www.NextStepAdvising.com, email:
nicole@nextstepadvising.com, or call us at:
908.642.8509 if you have any questions and
would like to learn more. We look forward to
helping you take your next steps.
