A1 College Prep

Dec 2024

I joined A1 in the spring of my junior year, and it completely changed how I approached my college applications. The weekly essay workshops that started in early summer were super helpful. What I loved most was getting feedback from different teachers each week - they all brought unique ideas to the table and helped me make my essays much better. One thing that really helped was how organized A1 was with deadlines. They laid out a clear schedule that made sure we finished everything way ahead of time, which took away so much stress. My monthly meetings with the counselors, Ryan and Esther, were amazing - they helped me figure out which schools to apply to, what major would be the best fit, and how to tell my story through my essays. I also worked closely with Maddie teacher on my resume and UC activity list. She helped me make sure I included all my important experiences and achievements in the best way possible. Even though I ended up getting into NYU through early decision (which meant I didn't need my other applications), I'm so glad I had everything ready to go well before the deadlines for any outcome that could have happened. Looking back, I wouldn't be where I am today without A1's help. The teachers really cared about my success, and they gave me all the tools and support I needed to put together strong applications. I'm really grateful for all their help!

Ryan teachers guidance has been instrumental in shaping my journey through college preparation. From acquainting me with the diverse spectrum of colleges during my freshman year to refining my ideas and essays as a senior, he and the other teachers walked with me every step of the way, making sure I was on the right path. Their unwavering support and commitment have been invaluable, and I am profoundly grateful for their tireless efforts. Tutoring at A1 has also been one of the biggest key to getting into my dream school. From taking the SSAT to prepare for my high school entrance exam to tutoring me on any of my weak skills in school subjects to helping me reach my SAT goals for college, their tutoring has been pivotal in achieving my academic aspirations. I've received not only important math skills and knowledge from Peace teacher (the best), but also crucial study habits and practices that'll help me beyond my academic journey. Their genuine dedication and earnest commitment have been transformative, and I owe them a debt of gratitude. Thank you so much A1!!
