PHILOSOPHY

A competitive college application is not simply about qualifications.

To stand out in today’s landscape, students must develop an authentic understanding of themselves and their goals and clearly articulate this to admissions readers. 

For this reason, the strength of a college application depends on the process of its development. Drawing on decades of experience, Lantern’s philosophy and approach ensures student success.
