Why Boston Students Need a Strategy

Boston is one of the most education-dense cities in the world, and the competition for elite college admissions is intense. Students from Boston Latin, Exeter, Andover, and top public and private schools across Massachusetts are applying to the same selective schools — often with equally strong profiles.

Living near Harvard and MIT doesn't make getting in any easier. The proximity to elite universities creates an unusually competitive local pool. The students who stand out do so because of how they present themselves — not just what they've accomplished. That's the craft Laplace focuses on.

Why Laplace
