“From the start of my work as
an independent college counselor and IB consultant nearly a decade
ago, I recognized the Hook as an essential tool in a successful
application. That’s why every time I conduct a student
workshop, speak at a parent night, or work with a student one-on-one,
I hammer away at one theme: Find your Hook! Over
the past few years, hundreds of my students have heard and heeded
that message. They have worked hard to find a Hook and package
it through every page of their application in order to get a
leg up in admissions.”

“…Ms. Proctor’s focus
on the students’ personal qualities
and experiences, combined with her creative
and savvy marketing strategies, sets
her apart from other college advisers! Her
advisement sessions have really made a difference
for the International Baccalaureate students
at my school! This book is a must read for
students and parents entering the college
