Top colleges don’t just admit students with good grades and test scores. They’re looking for students with clear direction\, real-world experience\, and a strong narrative woven through their entire application. \nThat’s exactly what we’ll show you at Family College Night. \nParents and students\, come together! This process works so much better when families tackle it as a team—because no one knows your student better than you do. \nHere’s what you’ll get: \n\nThe #1 mistake families make in college planning (and how to fix it)\nA step-by-step strategy for every grade level (6th-12th) to stay on track\nThe activities\, courses\, and milestones that actually matter (and what’s just noise)\nHow to build a standout student profile—no matter their strengths\nA clear\, stress-free plan to open up more opportunities\n\nFamilies who start early and have a strategy set their students up for success—not just in college\, but in life. \nSave your spot now! And if you know a family who needs this\, invite them too! \nAbout Kate Stone: \nWhen I was motorcycling around the rice fields of Bali in 2009 teaching with the Princeton fellowship program\, I never imagined that my work would evolve into the holistic preparatory program it is today—helping hundreds of students not just get into top universities\, but build extraordinary lives. \nIn my years working under top college coaches and developing lasting mentorships with heads of elite admissions\, I mastered the art ofpackaging and pitching successful college applicants. \nWhile guiding students into top schools\, I was also chasing my own lifelong dream—becoming a working actress\, a decade-long journey that took me from Hollywood to international film sets. Auditioning taught me that high stakes demand preparation\, and sold me on the power and importance of storytelling. I became known for my ability to draw stories out of teenagers and teach them how to tell their stories. \nBut the deeper I got into this work\, the more I saw the flaw in the college prep industry. It focuses too much on shaping the perfect application and not enough on shaping the person. I didn’t want to just help kids tell their stories. I wanted to help them create stories. And I didn’t want to work exclusively with the top 5% of students already destined for success. I wanted to help all students build lives so interesting\, so bold\, that their stories naturally became compelling. \nThis is when Kate Stone Prep was born. \nIt wasn’t just about college anymore. It became about mentorship\, character development\, and pushing students to do things they never thought they could. I would not be doing the level of work I am today without the mentors I’ve had\, the deep fears I’ve had to confront\, and the training and conditioning I’ve put myself through. The best part about this approach is that it works for college admissions\, job placement\, and success in life. \nThe sudden passing of my mother brought me back home. With the expansion of my team and new offices\, I’ve doubled down on my mission to solve the education problems in this country\, starting with my local community. \nI look forward to the opportunity to work with your family. \nLEARN MORE ABOUT US: \nhttps://instagram.com/katefracestonehttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61569472412376https://www.linkedin.com/in/katherinestone1/ \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n CAN’T MAKE THIS EVENT?  \nGet on our email list for future event notifications\n \n \n \n \n \n CURIOUS ABOUT HAYVN?  \nBook a tour \n \n \n \n \n \n WANT TO SEE MORE?  \nView our full event calendar URL:https://hayvn.com/event/kate-stone-2025-05-04/ LOCATION:HAYVN Darien\, 320 Post Road\, Darien\, CT\, 06820\, United States CATEGORIES:Career Forum,Networking,Personal and Professional Development,Social ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://hayvn.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Kate-Stone_Family-College-Night_May-4-2025_550x309.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250406T153000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250406T173000 DTSTAMP:20260519T170450 CREATED:20250318T235321Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250319T000101Z UID:10003209-1743953400-1743960600@hayvn.com SUMMARY:A Kate Stone Prep Event: Family College Night DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, April 6\nA Kate Stone Prep Event: Family College Night\n\n\n\nInsider college prep advice from Darien’s College Coach\, Kate Stone! Brought to you by Kate Stone College Consulting. https://universitygurus.com \n  \n\nDate and time\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSunday\, April 6 · 3:30 – 5:30pm EST\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHAYVN Coworking – Darien \n320 Boston Post Road #Suite 180 Darien\, CT 06820 \n \n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFamily College Night \nMost families approach college admissions the wrong way—checking boxes\, chasing prestige\, and following outdated advice. \nBig mistake. \nThe truth?
