Hello! If you’re here, you probably know a little about university in some way, and you probably heard that this guy named Victor knows a little bit about that topic. Well, you’re in the right place. Welcome to Ascendant Academy’s official blog! Here, you’ll learn tips and tricks about college admissions—what they are, if you don’t know what college or admissions mean at this point—and dive into the whole constellation of things that surround this topic.
If you’re not sure this is what you need to be reading right now, then ask yourself: Are you a parent of a teenager who’s pushing 17 and finishing IGCSEs or some other exams? Or A-Levels, IB, or otherwise? Or are you someone, casually sitting down and contemplating the fact that there’s this “university thing” out there and wondering if there’s a world beyond school?
Well, you’re in the right place.
Whoever you are… parent, child, or even a guidance counselor looking for information on how to advise your students…
This blog will give you helpful tips and advice on how to navigate college admissions!
And it’s coming from someone who’s been through it, personally gained more than a million dollars in scholarship money, gotten into dream schools in the US and UK, and helped over a thousand students, friends, partners, and parents through this weird and wonderful phase of life.
If you find value in that, thank you for reading and for being a part of this journey.
If you find value in any of the advice here, and you’d like to contact me directly to learn about how I can assist you in the context of a direct consulting session, drop me a line at victortanws (AT) gmail.com – an online course they also be on the cards!
That aside, if you just want to learn for now, and you think you can take care of it yourself, this website will be what I hope will be an invaluable resource for you as you take part on this journey.
Now, let’s conquer the next phase together.
Read on!
