Application Strategy


“It was about as bare of artistic merit as a map can be; but to me it meant a world of adventure.”

— Robert Louis Stevenson, Treasure Island (1883)

At Grey Eyed Owl, we set our own internal deadlines to ensure that students complete the bulk of their college applications before the start of senior year. With so many moving parts, it’s easy to lose track or feel overwhelmed. That’s why your Navigational Crew will curate a personalized application plan tailored to your own strategically charted Early Decision (ED), Early Action (EA), and Regular Decision (RD) program.

Our structured approach helps keep you focused, organized, and ahead of schedule. As the old adage goes: the early owl catches the mouse! Starting early and staying on track will not only reduce stress but also allow you to submit your best, most thoughtful work. Tactful Application Strategy is an immensely important and often overlooked portion of the process. Indeed, probably of acceptance can nearly double when leveraging a judicious and prudent approach.
