The Key Worldwide has made available a brand new brochure that provides students and parents with an in-depth overview of the Key’s Complete College Program.

This service helps the student select the appropriate college with specific recommendations based on the individual’s academic and personal goals. The program works individually with students and their families to develop and implement a “game plan” complete with objectives and goals, and an understanding of how the results, if achieved, impact their ability to gain admission to the college of their choice.

You can download your free copy of the brochure by clicking here.

The Key recently announced that it will be holding 3 new summer intensive camps for high school students on the UCLA campus this summer.  The camps run from late July to early August, and cover entrepreneurship, writing and leadership.  Each camp includes housing in the dorms at UCLA, food, local transportation and all course materials.  The all inclusive fee for each camp is $1,200 for students that already work with the Key, and $1,600 for non-members.  Space in these camps is extremely limited, and the leadership camp is capped at only 25 students, so don’t delay in registering today.

Northwestern, Duke and Stanford are just some of the schools that the Key reports USC will surpass this year as one of most sought-after universities in the country.

“Over the past ten years USC has risen from a middle of Tier 2 school in competitiveness to low Tier 1 school by attracting a phenomenal group of students through their scholarship program,” said Rick Singer, student coach and founder of the Key, one of the nation’s leading providers of college admissions coaching. “We are definitely seeing an up tick in the number of students that are listing USC as their 1st-choice school.” USC has done an exceptional job of late in showcasing its academic assets, particularly the honors science college and the access to its high-tech research facilities.

At the same time, its financial aid is among the most generous nationwide—a $2.4 billion endowment allows more than 60 percent of students to receive some type of aid. “Because attending any university is so expensive many families of exceptionally strong academic kids will consider taking the scholarship money at USC before attending an Ivy,” continued Rick Singer.

Add in a winning athletics program—Trojan football has consistently ranked in the top 5 nationwide in recent years—and its ever expanding and loyal alumni organization, and it is no wonder why applications to USC have risen about 35% since 2000.

I wanted you to know that thanks to your careful counseling, so far my daughter, Alexandra has been accepted into every university she has applied to.  We are still holding our fingers crossed that she can work out attending USC, but we just found out she was accepted at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.  The Key rocks!  I know she was a little difficult on and off, so a huge thank you for all you have done.  Allie is so excited!!

Best,

We were very hesitant to hire someone to ‘pick a college’ for our boys, but then we met you and our gut said that there was much more than that to working with you… and our guts didn’t let us down.. throughout the process our boys learned more about who they are, got focus in areas they needed, help from you during a stressful period in life (as did we). You challenged them, you coached them, you motivated them. You gave them both insights into college, themselves and the paths life has to offer. Gave them both tools to expand who they are.

Our son, Zach, is flourishing at Arizona State and in his 3rd year as manager of the Men’s Basketball team which is a big commitment (including travel). He also landed an paid internship last summer at NFL Media (very competitive with top college students), and the NFL actually reached out to him to come back this summer. Our younger son, Jake, is loving Case Western Reserve, and looks like he will do a double major Computer Science plus Economics. He joined a Fraternity, and is surrounded by like minded smart people. The schools you helped us filter and find for Jake, and your help with Jake in narrowing down to Case was of tremendous value. We loved that Jake’s high school efforts led him to getting ‘scholarship’ money offers as well as carry in almost a full year of credits.

Rick thank to you and the Key for making a meaningful and lasting imprint on our boys’ journey. We know that they have many great things ahead of them.

Two sisters have worked with the Key since they were young to position themselves for acceptance by the colleges of their dreams. Not just any colleges, but colleges that were a perfect fit for their personalities and goals. The Key helped them to choose the right courses and engage in after school activities that positioned them to truly shine for all to see.

After about nine years it appears our relationship with you has come to an end- four months earlier than expected. I can’t thank you enough for everything that you have done. Both Shae and Sydney got into their first choice colleges- schools that also appeared to me to be the best place for each of them and schools that neither they nor I thought they would be accepted at.

Obviously much of the credit is to them as they both had to work hard in school and develop extra curricular activities to be able to succeed. But a lot of it is also due to your guidance and support.

Hope all of your other families have as much success and satisfaction as we do but just wanted to let you know how appreciative I am of everything you have done for both kids over these past nine years.

Best Always,

Rusty

The Key Worldwide a leader in providing coaching that helps high school students get accepted at the college of their choice the world over, has just started a new program focused on STEM.  Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) are the key academic disciplines the United States needs to stay competitive in a global market.  The Key STEM program helps to promote studies and achievement in these core subjects.  The new Key STEM website (http://www.TheKeySTEM.org) is totally run by Key students.  The site will be a gathering place for all things STEM.  Please stop by and check it out.

Thank YOU for the opportunity that your program has provided our family. Four of our grandchildren have worked with your staff and all four have been accepted to all the colleges they applied to, and one has successfully completed an advanced engineering course and is now employed at GORE Technologies in Phoenix, AZ and doing very well!!  The others are either in college or just starting college this fall! Great effort and wonderful success!!

As you know, your program through our support to our family has been established as our legacy to our children and their children – prioritizing education as a cornerstone for future success. We cannot thank you enough for your work on behalf of young scholars. Your staff (and evident leadership) – the ones our family has been fortunate enough to “know” – is wonderful. Again, thank YOU!!

The Key student, Chloe Katerndahl, had a dream to make music. Working with her Key coach, Chloe grew in her music and found her way to a college that was the perfect accompaniment to musical dream.

“I just wanted to express my gratitude for knowing exactly where I belong from the very start. I am in Nashville at the moment and I feel immersed in music. It’s wonderful and I’ve already met so many like-minded people just walking around Belmont’s campus. The best part is, I got offered a publishing deal for my songwriting and they want to promote me as an artist. The company’s called Ole and their office is right down the street from Belmont! What a coincidence. The synchronicity of my life lately has been unbelievable and I wouldn’t have such confidence in my future had it not been for your advice, so thank you from the depths of my heart! ” – Chloe Kat

The Key’s coaching staff can help you develop your passion and launch your career.

Our brains can process 240 billion bits of information each and every minute. All too often we accept what we see, hear and are told, to be the whole of all that we need to know as we would be overwhelmed having to determine what was relevant by the bit.

To accommodate this avalanche of stuff we have become dependent on branded sources for our information gathering. Unfortunately, the commercial necessities of servicing a mass audience can also render the individually brilliantly bit as mundane if at that moment the inbound isn’t relevant.

For those that extend themselves to define their own information filters and exercise the extra rigor to learn from doing THE KEY WORLDWIDE presents its summer program for those who invest in their passions: LA Film Academy, Automotive Design and Engineering, Apple World, Ideas Festival and Business Entrepreneurship.
