The thrill of being accepted.
When the college of your choice tells you they’ve chosen you, it’s a fantastic feeling. And Diploma Dreams has helped thousands of college-bound students achieve that goal.
But there’s no question, the process of getting there can feel overwhelming...
When your goal is to earn admission to the best school for you, there’s so much you have to do and need to know: Getting high test scores. Filling out applications. Writing the essay. Navigating the paperwork. Figuring out costs. Searching for scholarships. Checking out campuses. And somehow emerging from all that information, evaluation and effort with the right choice.
For over 30 years, Kevin Hart has served as a College Advisor and SAT/ACT coach for thousands of students, helping them win acceptance to Ivy League universites, Tier I colleges, and perhaps most important, schools that are the best fit for who they are and what they want to be.
Through his company, Diploma Dreams, Kevin provides college-bound students and their families with the benefit of a personal College Coach – one who can draw on a rare background of teaching, counseling and educational technology design to deliver completely individualized guidance, coaching and test preparation.
In one-to-one sessions, Kevin offers students rare insights into the workings of standardized tests like the SAT and ACT, and the complex algorithms colleges use to evaluate prospective students. Yet according to the many students and parents he has advised over the years, what truly sets Kevin apart is his ability to listen, understand, and support each individual student’s strengths, concerns, and dreams for the future.
