<p><strong>Dear Hamilton Families,</strong></p>



<p>For many years I taught English Literature at UCLA, and for more than two decades I’ve helped thousands apply to UC campuses. Over the years I’ve helped more than 1,000 students gain admission to UC Berkeley and UCLA.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Because I’ve worked with so many students and have such a deep connection with the UC system, I know more about UC admissions than perhaps anyone else in the United States.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The truth is that most counselors and advisors are either NOT AWARE of the truly seismic shift that has taken place in UC admissions practices, or are NOT WILLING TO TALK ABOUT IT OPENLY.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>In this 45-minute webinar I will reveal secrets that the UC system doesn’t want you to know.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>Just a few of the topics we’ll discuss:</p>



<p>Why have UC acceptance rates for local high schools plummeted?</p>



<p>What are the UCs really looking for?</p>



<p>Why are the UCs being investigated by the DOJ and being sued by multiple parties?</p>



<p>Why are students accepted to Harvard now being rejected by nearly all of the UCs?</p>



<p>How can I give my student the best chance of being accepted to the UCs?</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Dear Hamilton families,</strong></h2>



<p>For nearly a decade, the ACT has been our “Secret Weapon” at Hamilton Education–since 2016 it has produced 1000% more perfect scores for our students than the SAT, even though students are often initially skeptical of or unfamiliar with the ACT.<br><br>For reasons I’ll explain in this&nbsp;webinar, most students taking AP and Honors classes&nbsp;<strong>should strongly consider the ACT.</strong>&nbsp;And whereas the Digital SAT has proven to be more challenging than the older, paper version, the new Digital ACT is very likely to be friendlier than the older version.&nbsp;<br><br>In this fast-paced thirty-minute&nbsp;webinar&nbsp;I will explain why the ACT is often our “Secret Weapon” in helping students achieve great scores, why your student should probably take the ACT (and which students should not take it), and why the new digital ACT may be even more favorable to our students than the older version.<br><br><strong>This event is complimentary, but registration is required.</strong><br><br><em>Please feel free to submit any questions you would like Mr. Hamilton to answer by replying to this email.</em><br><br>Sincerely,<br>Mr. Christopher Hamilton and The Hamilton Team</p>

<p><strong>Great grades and scores don’t guarantee admission to the Ivies–but they can earn students as much as $350,000 in merit-based awards to other top-tier universities.</strong></p>



<p id="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gDQR4RzaZk">Letter to Families to register for the June 5th, 2024 Webinar</p>



<p>YouTube video link is below</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Dear Hamilton families:</strong></h2>



<p>Middle-class families often fall into a “donut hole” regarding financial aid for college: they are too well-off for need-based aid but not rich enough to comfortably afford out-of-state or private college tuition. For many families, merit scholarships–financial aid rewarding excellence and leadership–fill this gap.&nbsp;</p>



<p>In this thirty-minute webinar, Hamilt</p>



<p>on Education founder Christopher Hamilton will talk about how valuable this aid can be–and what factors can help your student earn one of these generous scholarships. </p>



<p>Join Mr. Hamilton for an overview of merit aid strategies, followed by a Q &amp; A.&nbsp;<strong>This event is complimentary, but registration is required.</strong></p>



<p><em>Please feel free to submit any questions you would like Mr. Hamilton to answer by replying to this email.</em></p>



<p>Sincerely,</p>



<p>Mr. Christopher Hamilton and The Hamilton Team</p>
