Standardized Test Preparation with The Princeton Review
The Princeton Review is an industry leader in test preparation and their test prep professionals facilitate this portion of the College-prep program. Daily classes in SAT or ACT prep and four full-length practice tests are designed to help you achieve your best scores. They also offer our students their Satisfaction Guarantee and Fall Wrap-Up, an extra prep session free of charge the fall before you take your test.The Common Application
Does the formula essays + forms + short-answer questions not equal your recipe for fun? Well, we would like to offer this solution: An afternoon class with a college counseling professional whose sole purpose is to use their background in English and experience with admissions to make your college application shine with your particular brand of awesomeness.
You can expect to leave our program with 1-3 (depending on how far along you are in the process upon arrival) Common Application essays and short answer questions completed aka ready to submit!
The College Selection Process: Counseling and Campus Visits
Applying to college is much more than crafting a great essay. Depending on where you apply you will need to submit a resume, work sample(s) and you may need to sit for an interview with an admissions representative. Not to mention selecting the best schools to fit your goals…Not a problem. We have this covered.
Things like resume crafting workshops, mock-interviews, and identifying and comparing financial aid packages and scholarship opportunities are all offered optionally during the program. And in regards to selecting schools? Boston is the optimal location for campus visits.
Even if you are not interested in applying to Boston University, Tufts, U. Mass Amherst, Babson, Northeastern or M.I.T., preparing for a campus visit (knowing what questions to ask, what to look for, when to go, and who to talk to) are vital skills our weekly campus visits will help you acquire.
