they need to be strategic, and they need to think comprehensively. Odyssey helps students seethe full picture. From guiding strong intellectual development, to developing interpersonal skills, to selecting the best way to spend the summer, the Odyssey Program helps students address all the important parts of their application profile simultaneously. Students cannot rely on high test scores, good grades, or some leadership opportunities to gain admission to the most competitive schools. Everything must be strong and Odyssey is the answer. Odyssey is a comprehensive program that takes students through the boarding school preparation and application process.  \nWhy Does it Work?  \nOdyssey is effective because rather than just  \nputting the best spin on a student’s activities and accomplishments in a boarding school application, it serves to improve students’ profiles in areas that are fundamentally important in admissions. Odyssey guides students through a process of self-improvement and reflection, making them more interesting students, and therefore more desirable to admissions officers. The program guides students through all parts of the application process, so they benefit from an insider’s perspective as they learn what to do and what mistakes to avoid when applying to boarding school. Odyssey helps students take a strategic approach toadmissions, removing the guesswork from the process while also making sure students put together the best application possible.  \n2  ODYSSEY  \nOdyssey brochure EN.indd  \n2  \n2016/3/8  \n18:28:58  \nStudents also have free access to Due West’s application courses, workshops and presentations.  \nThere are no minimum requirements to be part of Odyssey, but students and families must recognize that the student will be required to complete a significant amount of work over the course of the program. Due West works best when students take ownership of this process.  \n3  ODYSSEY  \nOdyssey brochure EN.indd  \n3  \n2016/3/8  \n18:28:59  \nBreaking down the program  \n1.
