THE INSPIRATION FOR AIM ADMISSIONS READ CYNTHIA GOLDSTEIN'S STORY "More than 15 years ago, before I became a teacher, I was a single parent of a ninth grader who dreamed of attending NYU. Without the resources to hire the kind of admissions guidance available to many families, I learned to be strategic and resourceful. I helped my daughter build a thoughtful high-school plan, pursue meaningful opportunities, attend NYU's pre-college program, and turn a Tisch School of the Arts visit into a creative project that reflected her genuine interests. She ultimately earned admission to NYU. That experience taught me that the best admissions strategy isn't manufacturing an impressive application. It's helping a student recognize opportunities, make thoughtful choices, and turn authentic interests into meaningful evidence of who they are. Years later, after more than a decade as an educator, academic and writing coach, and admissions advisor, that lesson remains at the heart of AIM."
