The Deep-Fit Admissions Advantage

September 25th @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

$15

If your child is targeting highly-selective schools and/or competitive, saturated majors such as computer science (CS) and engineering, demonstrating a Deep-Fit™ to a school can boost a student’s chances of admission.

What is Deep-Fit? A Deep-Fit college is a college where a student will have the opportunity to have positive, impactful experiences, meet their specific academic and personal goals, thrive, and lay the foundation for a successful life. Colleges are eager to admit students who will thrive at their institution, so students who make Deep-Fit applications showing that they know themselves, they know about a college, and these are in deep alignment (i.e., a Deep-Fit) will have an admissions advantage. At highly-selective institutions and in competitive fields, such as CS and engineering, it is essential to stand out in the applicant pool. A Deep-Fit application powerfully differentiates a student from other compelling students with similar grades, courses, test scores, and activities.

Please join us for a presentation about Deep-Fit where we’ll share tangible steps for defining college fit through this lens so your student is positioned for success in the application process, college, and beyond.

Tim

He/Him

Open Door Tutor

Math, Physics

A UMass Amherst graduate with a degree in Applied Mathematics, Tim started his career teaching high school math and physics. He continued teaching in a Job Corps program, as well as mixing in some private tutoring. While the majority of Tim’s career has been in high tech as a software and systems engineer, he never strayed far from his teaching roots — always mentoring younger engineers and sharing his expertise whenever possible. Tim’s teaching style is primarily Socratic — engaging in questions and conversation rather than solely explaining topics. He believes the tutoring process is a partnership in which both parties grow and learn. Tim spends his free time caring for his wife’s growing herd of horses, as well as trying, with intermittent success, to improve his golf game.
