Notable Quotes
“I applied to three schools but didn’t get in any of them, including my dream school, which is Harvard. This time around, I just didn’t want to take no for an answer. So, I worked with The Art of Applying. I applied to 10 schools, and so far I interviewed with 7 of them. Of all the places I’ve interviewed, I’ve been offered admissions at six, including my dream school, which is Harvard.”
“I was definitely surprised by the price, but at the same time when I heard it, I believe in my dreams and it’s worth any price if I get what I want. I feel that way now and it’s definitely one of the biggest investments I’ve made.”
“I worked with the [tutor] from The Art of Applying and it was like night and day in terms of having tutors from another company. What the tutor from The Art of Applying did for me in terms of psychology prep was [he used] strategy-based approaches, which was really helpful for me.”
“I don’t think I would have taken it [Breakthrough Call] as seriously as I had if I didn’t have my partner with me. She knew that this has been a goal for me for a long time. To make it real and see her react to the things I was saying, I highly recommend it [bringing a partner to the Breakthrough Call].”
“Go to the schools…[that] really care that you go there. Talk with the people [and] the clubs there.”
“Surround yourself with people who will help reflect that dream being possible for you.”
