From Uncertain to Unstoppable: Cynthia’s Path to MIT

When Cynthia started working with us before 10th grade, she had a passion for STEM and was a talented lacrosse and ski racer. But with a weak STEM background and uncertainty about her athletic future, she needed a clear path forward.

Through targeted academic support, we helped Cynthia strengthen her STEM foundation and boost her GPA. With focused SAT prep, she increased her score by 340 points (from 1220 to 1560!), making her a strong candidate for top-tier schools. We also guided her college research, encouraged her to commit to lacrosse, and explored athletic recruitment opportunities.

The result? Cynthia was admitted to MIT’s Class of 2028—one of her dream schools! Now, she’s thriving in MIT’s rigorous academic environment and competing on their Division I lacrosse team, proving that with the right strategy, anything is possible.
