Student Acceptance Story:

I still vividly remember the day two years ago, when I decided to study abroad in the United States, feeling overwhelmed and apprehensive. While I had the goal of transferring to a U.S. university, I had no idea where or how to begin. I'm truly grateful to CEO Kyung and the Harvest Academy managers for providing me with direction and staying with me throughout. As a result, I achieved the valuable result of being accepted to both UC Berkeley and UCLA. I would like to take this opportunity to once again express my deepest gratitude.

When I first entered PCC, the most daunting part was planning which classes to take and how to take them for the next two years. However, thanks to the meticulous advice from Professor Kyung, including course structure for each semester, recommended professors, a balanced mix of major and liberal arts courses, and GPA management strategies, I was able to start my studies without any initial confusion and focus solely on achieving good grades. Harvest's accumulated data and experience allowed me to efficiently take classes tailored to my needs each semester, and more importantly, it was a huge help in meeting the most crucial transfer requirements for admission.

In particular, Mr. Kyung, rather than simply focusing on college admission, considered my long-term career path and academic growth, and worked with me to determine the right major and academic plan. I believe this personalized advice and ongoing counseling tailored to each individual's circumstances are Harvest's greatest strengths.

At first, I was daunted by the prospect of writing essays, even unfamiliar with MLA format. However, through English classes with a native-speaking teacher connected through Harvest, I gradually gained confidence. The classes went beyond simply editing my essays; through conversations with the native-speaking teacher, my speaking skills also naturally improved. This experience proved invaluable not only in writing my UC transfer essays but also in academic activities like presentations.

Additionally, Professor Kyung's statistics, mathematics, and economics classes were a great help in broadening my academic horizons in preparation for transfer to UC, and they provided me with the opportunity to develop the critical thinking and problem-solving skills required by the actual UC system.

The Harvest managers also meticulously attended to administrative procedures and overall aspects of life in the United States. Thanks to them, I was able to complete all procedures without error, allowing me to focus on my studies without the burden of administrative burden. They always kindly answered even the smallest questions and treated each student with the utmost care, which has been the driving force that has sustained me to this day.

While I'll be embarking on a new challenge on a UC campus, the past two years spent with Harvest Academy will forever be remembered as the most valuable stepping stone of my life. I sincerely thank you again, and I will strive to continue to grow and bring you even more good news. Thank you so much!
