Denver College Admissions Landscape

The Denver area is home to a range of competitive high schools, including top-tier private schools, highly regarded public schools, and specialized academies. With a growing emphasis on academic excellence and top notch extracurricular profiles, students in this area face an increasingly selective college admissions process.

Top High Schools

High schools in Denver, Boulder, Cherry Hills Village, Greenwood Village, Littleton, Highlands Ranch, and surrounding communities consistently send a strong percentage of students to top colleges.

Whether you attend a prestigious private school, a highly ranked public school, or a smaller independent school, standing out among your peers is essential. With such a competitive applicant pool in the Denver area, students must craft applications that go beyond strong GPAs and test scores to truly differentiate themselves.

How to Stand Out in College Admissions as a Denver Applicant

One of the most common questions we hear from parents is: "How can my child differentiate themselves in such a competitive applicant pool?"

That’s where we come in. At Selective Admissions, we specialize in helping students build unique extracurricular profiles that demonstrate academic excellence, intellectual curiosity, and a compelling personal narrative that resonates with college admissions committees.

The Denver area offers unique opportunities for students to engage in outdoor activities, environmental studies, STEM research, the arts, community involvement, and a wide range of academic pursuits. From access to the Rocky Mountains and opportunities for outdoor recreation to a growing tech and business sector, we help students leverage these experiences to enhance their applications and position themselves as standout candidates at highly selective institutions.
