College Admissions Demystified

For Students…

College admissions is a complicated process.

So many colleges to choose from, how do you know which ones are right for you?

Then there’s the application process – essays to write and a student activities lists to complete.

How do you share what’s important about who you are beyond the numbers on your transcript and standardized test scores?

How do you do complete the application in between a tough class schedule, studying, and all of your activities?

For Parents, Guidance counselors, and High School Staff…

How can you help students with the admissions process so they convey their uniqueness on paper?

How do you keep them on track for deadlines without nagging them every day?

Is there an expert who students will listen to, who is credible and interesting, who will motivate my “kids?”

Enter Zinjenzo: The College Application Guru!

My 20+ years in higher education, experience reading thousands of college admissions applications, skill in presenting memorable and easy tips to write authentic essays and activities list – are here for you.

I work with groups of students, parents and high school staff presenting programs that get students excited and motivated to apply for college admission.

When I speak to groups of students, those students gain a common language about and understanding of the admissions process. I use humor and unique and memorable analogies (like the Bowflex Technique) and actual examples from applications. After my presentation, students can’t wait to apply my tips and start writing their essays and activities lists.

Parents and high school staff know that sometimes students don’t hear what they are saying. Bring in an expert who presents interactive, fun, and informative workshops, and students will be prepared and motivated to tackle the admissions process.

“I heard students a week later referring to tips Jennifer had shared on writing and proofreading their essays. They were talking about her Bowflex technique and the deadly disease, Thesaurusitis. I’ve never heard students quote one of our speakers.”  – Rona K., High School Guidance Counselor

“My students wanted to know if we could bring Jennifer back as a speaker for the seniors. It says a lot that they remembered her talk on writing a great essay a year later and wanted to hear her again.”  – Becky H, College Success Foundation staff
