Our students’ case studies
Jun-Ho
Four-Year Package | Princeton
Jun-ho joined us in the spring of 8th grade after receiving rejections from every private school on his list. During our first meeting he repeated his father’s stinging words—“We didn’t come to America for you to fail”—and confessed that, while his grades were solid, his interests were scattered across politics, business, engineering, and even the possibility of a collegiate-soccer path.
Ayla
Three-Year Package | Cornell
Ayla and her family came to us in late 9th grade. She was a strong student at The Madeira School, a local all-girls private school, but otherwise had little in terms of her profile.
Shannon
Two-Year Package | Elon
Shannon came to us the summer before 11th grade with a big question: to pursue a theater-focused BFA program or a typical college where she could further explore STEM, too?
Lila
12th Grade Package | Cornell
Lila came to us for help with college applications, beginning in the summer before 12th grade. She was a public school student with excellent grades and good academic rigor.
Aiden
Two-Year Package | Vanderbilt
When Aiden first came to us in 11th grade, we had a very candid conversation. His GPA was lower than that of his peers at TJ, so we had to be strategic.
