Student Acceptance Story:

Hello, I have been with Harvest for two years this fall semester and have been accepted to the Department of Communication at UCLA, which is the school I most wanted to attend.  

There are many reasons why I chose Harvest Academy, but the most important one that stood out was its track record. Harvest Academy students have a 90% acceptance rate to the Top 25 universities according to U.S. News, and a 100% acceptance rate to the Top 35 universities. I believe this is a very attractive factor for all students considering a study abroad program. This proven track record, built over 15 years, was a major factor in my decision to choose Harvest Academy.

I also can't help but consider the financial aspect, but Harvest Academy is relatively affordable compared to other managed study abroad centers. Studying abroad, which requires considerable investment, significantly reduced my financial burden by choosing Harvest Academy. However, that doesn't mean the quality is inferior to other study abroad centers. In fact, I can confidently say it's superior. This is because Harvest Academy operates on a small scale, making it easier to provide high-quality tutoring and consulting services to each student. Thanks to Harvest Academy's 15 years of accumulated information and expertise, I was able to easily achieve A's in all my subjects by the end of my last semester.

Every year, the number of applicants to UC schools, especially UCLA and UC Berkeley, skyrockets. This means overall acceptance rates are steadily decreasing, while competition is intensifying. Accordingly, UC course requirements and standards change every year. My department, in particular, had an acceptance rate of only 12% last year. So how does Harvest Academy consistently deliver such results? It's thanks to Harvest's unique methodology, built on 15 years of analyzing these changes and the expert analysis of its executives, all of whom are UC Berkeley alumni. While my required courses have changed significantly since the previous year, Harvest Academy's assistance allowed me to identify these changes early and plan accordingly. The same holds true for my application essay. After Harvest Academy's essay consultation, I received systematic and professional editing, which significantly enhanced my original ideas and enabled me to craft a highly competitive and compelling application essay. This, in turn, significantly contributed to my transfer success.

Additionally, adapting to the United States has been a huge help. Pasadena, in particular, is a very safe city, boasting a safety rating comparable to that of Korea, making it safe to walk around at night. Therefore, parents considering managed services at PCC need not worry too much about their children's safety. Based on the above, I believe there's no reason not to choose Harvest Academy. I hope my article will help many students overcome their difficulties in choosing Harvest Academy.
