Urban Leadership: Strategic Admissions Distinction for NDSJ Students
Notre Dame High School, San Jose offers a unique “city-as-a-classroom” experience that prepares young women for real-world impact. However, in the high-stakes world of elite admissions, the challenge is communicating the depth of this experience to admissions officers at schools like Stanford, the Ivy League, and top-tier UCs. While NDSJ provides a strong foundation through its “Women of Impact” program, Cardinal Education offers the independent college counseling necessary to architect a singular personal brand. We help students translate their work in social justice, urban leadership, and rigorous Honors/AP courses into a narrative of intellectual vitality that demands attention from the world’s most selective institutions.
