Boot Camp is Back!
A week-long intensive to learn more about the college process
Calling All Students!
We're Excited to Bring This Event Back!
The college process is getting started in earnest, and it’s time to start getting your ducks in a row. Let us help!
August 11-17th, we will visit and tour six of the nation’s top colleges, hear from professors at those same institutions, take a crash course in both the SAT and ACT, develop drafts of college essays, and learn how to start an effective scholarship search. We are currently planning to visit the University of Pennsylvania, Georgetown University, American University, University of Virginia, UNC, Davidson, and Duke University, but schools are subject to change based on COVID protocols and program offerings.
We only do this trip once per year, and spots are limited, so don’t wait to apply!

Still a little unsure? Read what some of our former participants had to say!
My favorite part of the boot camp was seeing all the different colleges. The variety of perspectives and acceptance rates taught me that the acceptance rate and prestige of a school isn’t everything, and that other schools also deserve a chance. It also introduced me to the idea of less urban schools, as I found schools like Syracuse intriguing.
The college panels were extremely valuable but I learned so much from the afternoon workshops. The presentations were engaging and I didn’t know most of the information being covered. Workshops over college essays and scholarships made me feel a bit more reassured about what was approaching my future.
