Exciting News for Harvard Class of 2014!

It's an exciting day at CT! One of our students, a graduating senior at Landmark Christian School, just found out today that he got into Harvard University! His mother called me and their whole family is elated. We are so excited for him and and are just extremely proud of the SAT and ACT scores he achieved, which helped get him there.

When we first started working with him, he thought a school like Harvard was way out of his reach. He hadn't even planned on applying there until after his first crack at the ACT, on which he scored a 31. He then became confident that he could score even higher and apply to prestigious colleges like Harvard, Vanderbilt, and Duke. We helped him set goals for the test scores he needed, gave him a study plan and practice schedule for the SAT and ACT, coached him on test-taking strategies, and even set up a mock interview with one of our tutors who went to Harvard himself. But he did the hard work to get there! All we did was push him in the right direction. He very diligently executing the plan and got himself into Harvard!

One of the best parts of this job is seeing your students become successful and this is DEFINITELY one of those moments.

CONGRATULATIONS to our new Harvard student, class of 2014. We are so proud of you!
