After this course you and your student will go from feeling confused and overwhelmed to calm and confident about the college admissions process. You will fearlessly embrace the journey because you will have an actionable plan from a trusted advisor who cares about your success.
Your student will learn how to articulate their unique and authentic stories that will help them stand out, even if they don't believe that they have a story to tell!
Can You Relate?
You are feeling overwhelmed and don't even know where to start with helping your teen.
You want to help your student with what they need at the right time, but you are stuck and don't know what to do when. If you had a roadmap, you know that you could effectively help your student.
You hear conflicting information and don't know what to believe or who to trust.
You are hearing conflicting information from online resources, family members, and other parents in the car pool lane, while sitting on the bleachers or while exchanging notes at school committee meetings. Each source seems to be providing different information, but what is true?
You are feeling anxious as Covid has upended a process that was already confusing.
There are stories of incredibly talented students being rejected at many or all of the schools to which they applied. Covid has created so many questions and uncertainties. Should your student take a standardized test? When should they apply? How do we find scholarship dollars? You feel like the little that you did know about how college admissions works is no longer true.
You Don't Need to Second Guess Yourself When It Comes to College Admissions. You Just Need the Creating College Confidence Course and Membership.
If you are a parent of a 9th -11th grade college bound teen, understanding the college admissions process can be daunting. And, Covid has made a challenging process even more complex. You can spend hours trying to research if your student should be taking standardized tests, how they can be eligible for merit aid, and how they can write their applications in a way that helps them stand out in a crowded, competitive environment and still not feel confident or in control of the process.
Over the years, I have worked with so many parents who wanted what was best for their child as it relates to the college journey, but they just didn't have the right tools or support. And I LOVED working with these parents. That is why I developed Creating College Confidence Course and Membership.
This course and membership will:
- Help your student find and be accepted to a best fit school .
- Help your student navigate the dynamic and confusing college admission process in the age of Covid.
-
Save you significant time, money and a ridiculous amount of stress figuring out where to apply, how to apply and how to get financial aid.
- Do it all with confidence, knowing you are learning from a trusted advisor who treats her clients as she would her own teens.
Instead of agonizing over the college admission process, you should savor every moment of your teen's senior year.
The Creating College Confidence Course takes all the guesswork and reduces the stress associated with applying to college.
This course is ideal for parents of 12th graders who are in the midst of the process, but also parents of 9th-11th graders who want to strategize and be prepared to give their teen the gift of confidence and clarity.

E.S., Junior at Stanford University
Kathy is an absolutely fantastic consultant. She helps you find your special niche and allows you to better understand how to best market yourself to colleges. At first, the college application process seemed very intimidating and nearly impossible. However, Kathy broke it down into easy, manageable steps. Kathy genuinely wants what’s best for YOU. There’s no way that I could have survived the college application process without Kathy by my side.
S.B., Sophomore at the University of Michigan
Excellent advisor! Mrs. Noble was extremely helpful every step of the way. The process was very comprehensive, beginning with a search for areas of future professional interests and a compilation of schools that supported these interests. Her experience in the field proved very beneficial in helping me to fine tune all essays, knowing exactly what the each school was looking for. Kathy was constantly there to remind me of upcoming meetings, testing days, college visits, and application dates. Her advising helped me to find immense success in the application process as I was granted admission into all 8 schools I applied to, including; The University of Michigan, Villanova University, and the University of Miami (FL). If you are in the market for a college advisor, I whole heartedly recommend Kathy Noble!
N.K., Sophomore at the University of Colorado Boulder
Kathy is the most friendly, patient, and caring woman -- making her amazing at connecting with students trying to figure out their future plans. She helped me with everything from finding what schools I was interested in to brainstorming essay ideas. Couldn't have done it without her:)
By the end of Creating College Confidence Course and Membership, you'll have learned how to:
- Navigate the entire college admissions process so you will no longer feel stressed or overwhelmed.
- Help your student tell their unique story and stand out in the cluttered and competitive application environment. This course is perfect for students who don't think they have a story to tell. I'm confident that every student has a story to tell!
- Come away with a clear understanding of how financial aid works and how to find schools that provide financial aid given your families circumstances.
- Build a college list for academic, cultural, and financial fit.
- Strategize on standardized testing and early admission policies so you can stop guessing on how to manage these important details.
And you'll be able to achieve all of this with one extra invaluable resource... ME!
Unlike other courses and programs that leave you without so much as an email address to reach out to... I'll be at your side throughout the 7 course modules, 8 weekly coaching calls, a supportive Facebook Group and personal 1:1 coaching!
Although having a trusted and empathetic advisor at your side helping your family go through a major life change is a total bonus, you'll feel that being your student's partner in the process and enjoying their last few months under your roof is worth the price of investment alone.

H.M., Freshman at Dartmouth College
I cannot recommend Kathy Noble enough as a college counselor. As someone who often overthinks and is rarely satisfied, the highest praise that I can give her was that by the time I submitted my applications, I was proud and happy with the final product. Her edits on my essays were thoughtful, specific and honest, which helped me first discover, then adjust, and finally hone in on the message that I wanted to give to schools. I also had many questions along the way and she always answered them thoroughly and quickly. The single instance where she did not have the answer to my question, she went the extra mile by waiting on hold for hours and consulting all of her colleagues. Thanks to her, I was able to get into my first-choice school, early decision, which shortened the entire process and saved me hours of work
B.K., Junior at Kalamazoo College
The college admissions process is terrible, but having someone who knows all the ins an outs of the college admissions office is absolutely crucial to your success. Cue Kathy Noble. Her knowledge of all things admissions made my journey through the application process thousands of times more manageable. She used a structured system that was flexible to my specific needs as a new applicant. This system allowed for me to tackle and finish areas of the process faster and much more in depth, while also allowing me to discover new facets of my personality. Throughout my time with Kathy, she was focused on my best interests. She was honest and constructive when helping with essays, and when analyzing college statistics. Having Kathy as a consultant was one of the best choices I could have made regarding my application process. I highly recommend Kathy Noble to those looking to get to know themselves, and looking to nail the college application process.
S.B., Freshman at the University of Chicago
It’s super easy to talk with Kathy. When I was brainstorming ideas for my essays, our conversations helped me organize my thoughts and come up with fresh ideas. I had a LOT of questions about the entire admissions process and Kathy was always responsive and knowledgeable, whether I was asking about specific colleges or the logistics of filling out the Common App or even interview strategies. One of the most useful things Kathy helped me with was deconstructing essay prompts so I could focus on what the colleges were actually asking. When I finished writing an essay, her feedback was honest and constructive. I'm very happy with my college admissions outcome and I'm grateful for the support Kathy gave me throughout the long application process.

A look at the modules inside the program
1.
Setting You Up For Success
I developed this course to provide parents who want to help their students navigate the college application process an affordable and trustworthy resource. In addition to this course for parents, I help students tell their authentic stories in their college applications through my private practice, Start With Your Story Educational Consulting.
2.
Admissions Stress: Why it Exists and How Do We Manage It?
In our first stop on your course journey, we are going to address how the college landscape has changed over the last three decades. This will help inform why students feel pressured by the experience. I will then touch upon strategies to help create less stress and bring more mindfulness into the process. Finally, the module will end with a detailed timeline of the admission process.
3.
How To Develop An Admission Strategy
Too often, strategy is missing in the college application process. Families that recognize the value of having a strategy and make the commitment of executing upon it, fare much better that those who meander without priorities or vision. This extensive module includes lessons on the following topics:
- Thoughtful curriculum planning is one of the most important ways that your student can be prepared for applying to college while at the same time living a purposeful high school experience.
- Two-thirds of all four-year colleges in the U.S. are now test optional and more than 500 of these institutions adopted test-optional policies during the pandemic. However, as testing centers begin to open again, we will examine what students should consider in when designing a testing strategy.
- What colleges are looking for outside the classroom. Extracurricular activities are an important aspect of a student's college application. Colleges want to understand how students spend time outside of the classroom so that they are better able to know who they are admitting and how these students will be contributing to campus life.
- There are many points to consider when choosing to apply early to colleges. In this section we review the options and help you strategize around the best time to apply to school given your family circumstances. If your student is considering applying early decision to a school, I highly recommend reviewing the documents in the download section of this lesson as they are invaluable in helping your family determine if when and how to apply to college.
4.
How to Build A College List for Fit and Finances
In this module we will be focused on helping your student build a college list. Often students will start this process by creating a list of schools they want to attend without ever thinking through who they are, their values, strengths, opportunities or what they want to from their college experience. Also, often families don't spend enough time discussing finances and a budget at the onset of the college journey. This can often lead to frustration and disappointment.
Given these dynamics, this module will be structured in way that starts with helping your student on the road to self-awareness. In the downloads, you will find a workbook that your student can use to document aspects of their identity that will be valuable as they navigate the process.
The module ends with two lessons on financial aid and a lesson on creating a balanced list.
5.
Managing the Application Process
This module will cover all that you need to know to help your student submit their college applications. We will review the different types of applications as well as who is responsible for submitting each piece. Finally, we will close the module by reviewing how your student can approach teachers and counselors for impactful recommendations.
6.
How to Use Storytelling to Stand Out on College Applications
In this module, I will focus on how to use storytelling to stand out in the college admission process. A college application should do so much more than document GPA, test scores and list student involvement. It should tell a story. A good story connects emotionally with its audience, creating a deeper connection. Admission officers want to be able to picture a student on their campus and know that they will thrive. Stories can help engage admission officers and communicate why your student is the perfect fit.
7.
The Applications Are In! Now What?
Once your student has submitted their applications it is time to celebrate! They should take a breath and a sign of relief. No doubt that it has been an incredibly challenging journey for everyone involved.
