The college process, which had always seemed like an unsolvable puzzle, became clear to me after I enrolled into the Admissions Counseling Program at IvyLeap .In my university choices, I was given useful advice and liked the fact that I always had the final word. IvyLeap helped me not only with the application process but also with the essays, the resume and all the other details that go into the daunting task of applying and getting into college. Thanks to IvyLeap, I will be spending the next four yours of my life at UC Berkeley. I also got into most of my other choices, which are also really prestigious universities: Princeton University, UCLA and Columbia University.
