How the Workbook Fits Into the College Prep Journey

The workbook is designed to provide structure and organization, but it does not replace personalized admissions analysis.

 

Many families use the College Prep Journey Workbook as a foundational tool, then layer in a Personalized Admissions Profile to understand how their student’s actual academic data compares within competitive applicant pools and intended majors.
