450+ Acceptances to Top 20 Colleges
70 Scholastic Writing Awards
College Acceptances: 2023-2024
Congratulations to the class of 2024! We could not be more proud of you!
This batch of seniors was the most inspiring out of all the ones we've worked with so far. As you'll see below, we work with students from all backgrounds, ranging from international students based in Tanzania and Afghanistan to private school students in the Northeast to public school students from California.
In total, our team worked with 197 seniors. Below, you'll find 66 of them who were kind enough to share their location, school type, ethnicity, intended major and university acceptances!
Please note that students marked with an asterisk* did not use our live Zoom College Counseling, but were able to gain admittances to top colleges by taking advantage of our Asynchronous Essay Editing service, as well as our advice from the free video content we provide on our ElevatEd social media channels (YouTube and TikTok).
