Straight A Prep’s support

Straight A Prep helps students to improve their overall GPA. After analyzing the influence of GPA on the application as well as discussing with the student’s other experiences, we explore the learning opportunities in the internship and display the learning results, so that the student has great differences in application documents.

In terms of personal statement writing, we modify and optimize student’s personal experiences one by one for different project contents in order for them to be a better match for the project's training objective. At the same time, the applicant highlights some of Lisa’s personal experiences in a way that is appropriate.

Finally, considering the deficiencies of GPA, we explain GPA in the form of supplementary essays, breaking the restrictions imposed on admissions officers by GPA with facts and progress.
