If I could use a song for my experience with ConnectPrep, it would be from Tina Turner's," simply the best, better than all the rest." This is a group of educators who are passionate, creative, and have fun. I am a strong student, but was realistic with some of my schools I was interested in applying to. The cherry on top was that I wanted to apply to both direct med and pre-med programs. Jeremy and his team at ConnectPrep, looking at you Elizabeth and Steven, taught me all of these unique techniques that would enhance my application and really bring out my personality. They were very transparent about how competitive my school choices were, and taught me how to really differentiate my application. I also enlisted ConnectPrep to help me with my SAT scores. I was scoring in the low to mid 1400s, but was advised on trying to raise my scores. ConnectPrep's SAT curriculum taught me how to simplify the material and used weekly performance reports to target what I needed to work on. I ended up with a 1580 on the test. I was accepted to schools such as Yale, Brown, WashU, Wisconsin, Northwestern, BU, Stanford, Emory, Case Western, Johns Hopkins, UChicago, Pittsburgh, Penn, and UNC. I had an incredible experience with ConnectPrep and will be recommending them to everyone I know!
ConnectPrep took college advising and test prep to a new level. I applied to several direct med and
pre-med programs. They were very transparent about how competitive my school choices were, and taught me how to really differentiate my application. Everything from their unique strategies to the quality of the application material we submitted was a whole new level that would not have been possible without their help. They also helped me with SAT prep, where I received a 1590. I was accepted to schools such as Columbia, Rice, Brown, Case Western, Johns Hopkins, Pittsburgh, and Penn. ConnectPrep built my confidence and helped me achieve what I thought was not possible. An amazing experience!
I highly recommend Jeremy as a college prep instructor. He played an instrumental part in helping my son get into the BS/DO direct med program at NYIT. My son was also invited to interview at the Sophie Davis direct med program. Covid made applying to schools very difficult and we didn’t know what to expect. I’m very grateful to Jeremy because he knew exactly what was happening and was able to guide us. He was a tremendous help in picking schools that would be a right fit for my son. He helped with college essays, prep for college interviews and also cared how my son was doing during this tough period. With the help of Jeremy my son was accepted into his top choice schools that he applied to. He also received many merit scholarships. Jeremy truly loves what he is doing and cares for the kids he helps and that is what makes him stand out as a college prep instructor.
As a parent, witnessing the journey of my daughter, Sophia, through the ConnectPrep BS/MD advising program has been nothing short of remarkable. With the dedicated support of advisors like Mr. Thompson, Sophia was able to secure her place in esteemed programs such as Case Western Reserve University's PPSP (Pre-Professional Scholars Program) and the accelerated medical program at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Albany Medical College. The comprehensive guidance provided by ConnectPrep, from personalized interview preparation to strategic essay writing and test preparation, played a crucial role in Sophia's success. Mr. Thompson's expertise in understanding the nuanced requirements of these specific programs—PPSP and the RPI/AMC program—allowed Sophia to tailor her application to highlight her strengths and passions effectively. As her mother, seeing Sophia achieve her dream of entering a direct medical program, thereby embarking on a seamless journey to becoming a healthcare professional, fills me with immense pride and gratitude towards ConnectPrep and Mr. Thompson for their unwavering support and guidance.
