University and ski in the US
We accompanied Arianna in the admission process to American universities: our goal was to obtain her admission, giving her the opportunity to continue skiing at the highest level and to obtain an athletic scholarship. Goal achieved! Arianna obtained an athletic scholarships for sporting merits and was able to choose which university to attend among:
- Sierra Nevada College, with a scholarship of $97,420
- College of Idaho, with a sholarship of $124,000
- Castleton University, with a scholarship of $78,000
- Plymouth State University, with a scholarship of $34,000
- We prepared a list of universities chosen specifically based on Arianna's athletic and academic profile and provided her with information about both their academic and athletic programs. The list also included the coaches' contact information and a draft introduction email to send to the coaches
- We managed email contact with the coaches, both through a shared account with Arianna and her family and directly through our counselors, to make conversations with them as effective as possible
- We prepared Arianna for interviews with the coaches, in which we also participated, by developing a list of questions the coaches might ask her and at the same time a set of questions Arianna might ask them to demonstrate her interest in the team
- We did specific, targeted work on the university that Arianna was most interested in - Sierra Nevada College. For the latter, in addition to maintaining ongoing contact with the coach through Arianna's account, Arianna was able to benefit from our direct and highest-trust relationship with Sierra Nevada College's Ski Coach - Mihaela Kosi. Although Arianna failed to achieve some of the slalom results that Coach Kosi had set out to choose her over other skiers, she chose Arianna herself, citing both her passion demonstrated through email contact with her and the relationship she had with us
