College Admissions: Sean’s Story

Written By Jacob Robins

Sean is a senior in high school from Chicago who will be attending the University of Michigan next fall, where he will major in Economics. Sean participated in our ACT preparation and college advising programs.

Read below for his review of our tutoring program and his applicant profile that got him into Michigan:

Review:

”Jacob was a fantastic tutor that I met during my freshman year tennis season. I noticed that throughout the season, Jacob had great leadership, communication, and problem-solving abilities, and he used these skills in both tennis and tutoring. He always strived to help me understand not only the content of the ACT, but how to navigate throughout the test for the best possible results. With that said, I am very grateful for all the guidance he’s given me to help me reach my ultimate goal of getting into Michigan.” - Sean
