Rennie, an experienced English teacher and a graduate of Harvard College, partners with students to perfect their essays and present a consistent, authentic, and multidimensional impression of each student. The college application process is often overwhelming and confusing, especially if you haven’t had family or close friends go through the process recently. One of the main stress points is likely to be writing the 650-word Common Application essay; however, since this essay offers tremendous flexibility in terms of topics, starting with this essay often unleashes creativity and brainstorming which is also helpful later when writing the supplements. Rennie works closely with students to present a distinctive and compelling impression to admissions.
Lantern College Counseling’s two counselors, Jennifer and Eliza, have been helping high school students apply to and transition to college for over 25 years. What many families don’t realize is that perhaps even more valuable than the experience of helping students apply to college and serving on a Board of Admission, as Jennifer did for eight years at Wellesley College, is the experience of working with college students after admission and while they are on their college campus. This experience is critical to guiding high school students to campuses where they will thrive. Jennifer and Eliza have been supporting and educating students on college campuses in mentoring and advising roles for over 45 years. At Lantern, we know it isn’t all about getting in but what happens during college. We profoundly understand what thriving in college looks like and how to achieve it. Lantern is the home of Deep-Fit™, a new paradigm for the college search and application process centered on thriving as a foundation for lifelong success.
