I just wanted to drop you a quick update and say a big thank you again for all of your guidance and support in high school. Your program added tremendous value to my life, not just for college admissions, but in teaching me how to be ambitious, strategic, and proactive. We still joke about going “above and beyond” at home all the time – it has become a mantra!
UChicago was a fantastic time; you can practically push yourself infinitely hard there if you want to, and I learned a lot. I just started my PhD at Yale a year ago, fully funded! I just happened to be reading over an old high school essay for nostalgia and was reminded of how much workshopping you all did with me to make me a better writer and personal brander. Those skills have become some of my biggest strengths, and I can’t thank you enough for it.
I hope Top Tier Admissions is going well and that you’re still teaching lots of other kids not only how to get into college, but all the long-term life lessons and skills that come with that!
