“No” is the number one answer that students get from competitive colleges they apply to.
The so-called “Echo-boom” of kids born in the early 1990’s means more college-bound students than ever. More college applications were processed for the 2008/2009 academic year than ever before.
To make matters worse, students are working harder than ever to make good grades, get high test scores and participate in a variety of extracurricular activities. Not only have the number of applicants gone up higher than ever before, but also there are more qualified applicants than ever before. This means colleges are saying “No!” to students they actually want!
To make matters even worse, kids running scared try to hedge their bets by applying to more colleges which only makes the application pool grow. This self-perpetuating cycle is creating undue burden on students, parents, guidance counselors and especially college admissions departments.
Hmm…could this trend actually be used to your advantage?
Yes! College Peas can help you understand the college admissions process and position yourself as the kind of students colleges look for- even if your grades and test scores aren’t great.
College Peas
Good grades and test scores always have been and always will be an important part of getting into college. But what if you’re part of the 90% of students that didn’t make the top 10% of your class? Does that mean you can’t get into your first choice of college? Of course not, there are ways of standing out to college admissions departments.
College Peas covers the P’s of college admissions including:
| Perspective | Plan |
| People | Apply |
| Problem | Pick |
| Prepare |
There are things you can do, simple things, during each stage that can give you the edge over your competition. Too often students are told to “buckle down” and “work harder” to get into college. While we have nothing against dedication and hard work, those aren’t necessarily the things that are going to help you during the college admissions process.
Applying the lessons from College Peas will help any student increase their chances of being accepted to college.

Not Just Any College
There are lots of colleges that will take just about anyone. These colleges, often referred to as non-competitive colleges, aren’t necessarily bad. They just have enough space to accommodate lots of students. Many very good colleges fall into this category including some big-name state colleges.
If you pick a non-competitive college you don’t need College Peas.
College Peas is about getting into a competitive college.
We define a competitive college as one that rejects more than 35% of its applicants. These are colleges that must make a judgment call on just about every application they receive. Competitive colleges include all the Ivy League colleges and all of the top 50 colleges in US News and World Report. It also includes lots of great liberal arts colleges that are known throughout the world. These are the prestigious colleges that don’t accept just anybody.
If you have your heart set on going to a competitive college then you need College Peas
College Peas is a series of lessons about the college admissions process from a behind-the-scenes perspective. This unique perspective is presented by Mike Moyer, co-founder of the College Admissions web site Cappex.com and author of the book How to Make Colleges Want You: Insider Secrets to Tipping the Admissions Odds in Your Favor.
Mike’s story is personal. In spite of graduating from high school with a 2.03 GPA and average test scores, Mike was accepted to every competitive college to which he applied. He applied the concepts in college and attended highly competitive schools, Northwestern University and the University of Chicago as a graduate student.
