As partners in the process, we encourage our students to be proactive in setting up appointments, taking advantage of group events such as practice tests and workshops, and asking questions!
We also urge our current comprehensive clients to check their student portals often. They contain a wealth of information about colleges, deadlines, policies, and admission criteria. In addition, we set student to-dos there to keep you on track.
