SAT AND ACT IMPROVEMENT: JULY IS HERE! By Dr. Wayne Adams Upcoming Fall Test Dates: SAT on Aug 27, Oct 2, Nov 5, and Dec 3; ACT on Sept 10, Oct 22, and Dec 10. JUST RECEIVED THIS EMAIL from a FORMER STUDENT/GRADUATING SENIOR and wanted to share it with you. Dear Dr. Adams: How have you been? As school has ended and I have a free summer for what seems like the first time ever, I think I miss your SAT classes! We haven’t spoken in a while, and I wanted to update you on my college decisions. I was accepted into 17 schools, including Georgetown University, UC Berkeley, UCLA, Davidson College, UF, and UC San Diego. I have ultimately chosen to attend Georgetown University. I am incredibly excited and cannot wait to continue my educational journey in Washington, D.C.! Thank you so much for all of your help throughout the entire SAT preparation process! I am truly grateful for everything you have done to ensure my successful future. Many of my students keep in touch to let me know how they are doing, and sometimes to seek advice as different college

The first place an application can “standout” from the rest is with the College Application Essay, and the second place is when a student is “lopsided” rather than “well rounded”. Advice and help on these two, critical areas are already included in my classes. For a much higher chance of acceptance, I advise seniors to go for “early decision” or “early acceptance” because the probability of acceptance is usually 2 - 3 times higher than for regular admissions. RISING JUNIORS often want to have an idea of their scoring levels, and to be prepared for the PSAT in mid-October … which is the only qualifying exam for the National Merit Scholarships. RISING SOPHOMORES are getting ahead by gaining experience taking these exams and assessing where they are with scoring.
