Getting Into a Good College Doesn’t Include Cheating the System

March 19, 2019 By Brian Caskey

On Monday afternoon, a parent from New York City called Biltmore Tutoring because she had “heard” that we had successfully defended four students whose scores were invalidated by the College Board.

We had once published an article giving parents advice on what to do if their students’ scores were challenged, because it’s happened to us a few times.

How to Gain Extra Points in the Admissions Process

May 8, 2018 By Brian Caskey

Over the last decade, the internet has made it much easier for students to apply to college, especially thanks to services like the “Common App.” For the nearly 700 schools now part of the Common Application—the nation’s leading standardized online college-application portal—students can browse by name, state, or region, by the type of institution (public or private), and by whether it’s co-ed or single-sex.
