Our Douglas County, CO Students Say It Best

For me, class 101 really helped me to narrow down on what exactly I’m looking for in a college and what should be included in my college application. Thank you so much for everything!

Michael

Class 101 helped me feel way more confident in the college application process! I am so grateful I was able to be a part of it and receive guidance while crafting my applications.

Siena

First of all, thank you so much for all your help and support during my application process. I couldn’t have done it without you and I am so grateful for all if your advice and guidance throughout it all. Class 101 was an amazing help with both standardized test preparation and completing college applications. The biggest help for me was the constant review and revision that you offered and your guidance through applying to college for the first time. You really taught me how to put my best foot forward through my applications and definitely made me a better college essay writer. I am so thankful for all of the late nights and long hours that you helped me through and I’m so excited I can pursue my dreams at West Point next year.

Garrett

Class 101 made the college application process easier and more straightforward than it would have been on my own. It provided direction for all of my essays and gave me a structure that was not overwhelming but fast-paced at the same time.

Madison

Student-tested. Parent-approved.
