“I couldn’t have got to Harvard without Charles Bay Prep! My school grades or my SAT weren’t the best and every other college consultant said I was wasting my time applying to the Ivy League. But Charles Bay Prep didn’t give up on me, they showed me how to create an application that highlighted my strengths and focused on more than just academics. We spent hours carefully planning every detail: from school visits and how to get the best letters from my recommenders, to practicing every aspect of the interview. Thank you!”
