My Nonprofit Reviews

Like most students growing up in my neighborhood, my family was not in a financial position to provide me the resources to get in to a good college. That was when I found out about Admission Possible. Initially I joined Admission Possible in order to take advantage of the extra ACT practice tests that were given as part of the program (Not test prep, only practice tests). In fact, there were times I grew impatient with ACT test prep sessions being given because I had already read the ACT Test Prep book from cover to cover on my own time. Shortly after significantly improving my ACT score due to these additional practice test, and before I had a chance to leave the program, I realized that Admission Possible was serious about getting me into college. I realized I had established a strong relationship with my mentor, who encouraged me to be my best. With his help, I was able to shape my college and scholarship application to represent who I am, what I've accomplished, and what I plan to do in life. Before I knew it, I was graduating from the Admission Possible program, with college acceptance letters from all five of my college choices.

I walked into Admission Possible hoping to improve my ACT score. What I discovered was a group of friends that shared the same academic goals. I discovered that a winning college essay comes from the heart and soul, and does not always come from an A+ paper written in english class. Most importantly, I met a mentor that was genuinely interested in my college endeavor. Instead of giggling when I told him about my college choices or telling me how difficult admissions would be, he focused in on my eyes in a moment of silence and then in an understanding tone he said, "okay" and nodded. To me it was important that he lived in the same neighborhood as I did, and knew what it was like to grow up in my community without proper parental or financial support. In short, Admission Possible taught me that I was not alone in my pursuit for a better life. Without them, I can't imagine where I would be right now.
