Our Students Say It Best

I’ve really appreciated everything you have all done and truly grateful for where I stand in the whole college planning process and academic career:

I have never felt this confident about my future and career until now. Class101 truly opened my mind to the world of college planning and everything that mattered in the whole process. The instructors guided me in order to reach that peak where I am ready to move on from high school. From where I stand, I know what I want to do and how I will get there. Without Class101, I wouldn’t be as organized or ready to face the upcoming world beyond me. Each instructor was nothing but supportive and encouraging since the beginning of my sessions, and I can’t thank them enough for being so gracious. I truly am grateful for those that helped me with my journey so far, and I couldn’t be more excited to finish my high school career with my instructors beside me.

Senior

I would not have made it through the college applications process as well as I did and efficiently as I did without Class101. Being a first-generation student, when I first started the process I did not really know where to begin, but with the help of Class101 and the guidance from my college planner, it made preparing and applying to college a breeze.

Negoye

University of Cincinnati

I am a U.S. citizen and recently graduated from high school in the U.S. but earned much of my education overseas.  Class101 helped me to adjust and learn about the college admissions process.  With help from Class101, I applied to eight different schools and was accepted into all of them.  I will be attending Ohio State this year thanks to my counselors at Class101.
