"Go to college. I mean, it can’t hurt to go and at least try and find something. There’s always a college for someone. It helps so much to have an education."
-GEAR UP student

"I think the essay can make an admission officer read a file again. So, you read the essay, and like 'Wow, that just blew me away. Let me look again at these grades and scores and see if I can make a case for this kid in committee'.”
-Admissions Counselor
