Reported outcomes include impressive SAT score improvements of 150–250 points and more, ACT improvements of 5 points and often more, students’ college graduation rates 50% higher than the four-year national average, 72% of college coaching students attending Top 10 ranked universities according to the US News “Top 10 Ranking,” and a 100% grad school admissions rate for graduate school applicants, often with merit scholarships and full rides.

The program uses cutting-edge research and proprietary analysis tools, including a College Selection Decision Matrix with over 40,000 data points referenced in a testimonial from the Executive Director of Enrollment Management and University Registrar at the University of Maryland. Julia Ross is a nationally published author with Perseus Press and has been featured in the Washington Post Business Section, and the program’s books “The Official Julia Ross College Admissions Handbook” and “Conquering the SAT and ACT Exams with Julia Ross” are available on Amazon. Testimonials from parents, students, and education professionals describe experiences with SAT and ACT prep, advanced math and science tutoring, organizational coaching, college selection and application strategy, essay support, and ongoing academic coaching through college and preparation for graduate school.
