Forge Extraordinary is a mentorship

and leadership development

program.

..for ambitious teens who want to grow in confidence, self-awareness, communication, leadership, and purpose.

While many programs focus exclusively on college admissions, we believe the most compelling applications are created when students first develop a strong sense of identity, character, and direction.

Through individualized mentoring, students learn to articulate who they are, discover what they value, communicate with confidence, and become thoughtful leaders in their schools, families, and communities.

The result is not only stronger college applications, but stronger young adults prepared to thrive in college and beyond.

For more than twenty years, Tina Wilson has guided students through this transformative process. A graduate of Wellesley College and Harvard University, Tina combines expertise in human development, psychology, leadership, and college admissions to help students realize their potential and pursue meaningful lives.

Here’s What

Others Have To Say

Meet Tina Wilson

I founded Forge Extraordinary to help young people discover who they are, develop confidence in who they are becoming, and build the skills needed to lead meaningful and impactful lives...

As a graduate of Wellesley College and Harvard University, and after more than two decades mentoring students, I’ve learned that success is rarely about checking boxes or building the perfect resume. It comes from developing self-awareness, character, resilience, communication skills, and a sense of purpose.

My students have gone on to attend exceptional colleges and universities, but the outcomes I’m most proud of are the young adults they become along the way.

College admissions may be one chapter of the journey. My goal is to help students prepare for all the chapters that follow.

Tina was an NCAA Division III National Rolex Tennis Champion, 2x All-American, and Varsity rower.
