    "Empowering," "Amazing," "Magical," "Life-Changing"

    Since 2009, 96.5% of our application package students were admitted to a top 3 choice college, even those with below-average grades, provided they at least met the 25th percentile academic thresholds for their desired colleges. Potential matters more than perfection—when you know how to show it.
