Personal Story

"I'm really not sure how I felt on the day because it was mixed with a lot of other emotions from the other applications but once I had time to truly take in everything, it felt amazing. I felt this sense of peace knowing that I was okay and that I had just taken a huge step in having a better future for myself and those I care about."


Useful Advice

"I think that something I found pretty useful was having a college coach. A teacher from my school used to be an admissions officer for Princeton party time and served as a guide to help me design my resume, essays, and whole application in such a way that I had the best possible chance of getting to the schools I dreamed of.


If you can I'd recommend a course planner and college coach because they really help clarify everything and help out a lot."
