5-STAR Review 🙌

"We are incredibly grateful to Dale for the support and guidance he gave our daughter throughout her college journey. He helped her with essay development, SAT prep, and encouraged her to consider opportunities she had not previously thought about. Thanks to his dedication and expertise, she earned a full ride through the Howard Karsh STEM Scholars Program for a BS/Md/PhD program. Dale truly cares about his students and is deeply invested in their success. We highly recommend him to any family navigating the college process." - Shae G.

"Thank you so much for your kind words! It truly means a lot to me. Working with your daughter was such a rewarding experience. She put in the work, stayed open to new opportunities, and really embraced the process every step of the way. Outcomes like the Howard Karsh STEM Scholars Program don’t happen by accident. They’re the result of consistency, curiosity, and a willingness to stretch beyond what feels comfortable. She earned every bit of that success. I’m grateful I could play a small role in helping her get there, and I’m excited to see what she accomplishes next in such an incredible BS/MD/PhD pathway too! Thank you again for trusting me during such an important time. Wishing your family all the best in this next chapter." - Dale Price, Founder and CEO of Access College America.

Are Parents Accidentally Fueling Teen Burnout?
By Bonnie Kleffman, M.Ed, GCDF
Program Director for Access College America

“For some unfortunate college-bound teens, constant parental pressure is akin to perpetual pre-performance jitters. I have seen it in some of the teens I work with - the averted eyes, the downcast gaze, and the sense of defeat that causes shoulders and moods to droop.

🧬 For students interested in healthcare or biology, consider creating your own research project or literature review. Pick a topic you care about and dive deep. Present your findings through a paper, video, or community workshop. This demonstrates intellectual curiosity.
