Let's Get Ready Program
Let’s Get Ready is offering FREE college going support to high school juniors starting this
June! Applications are open NOW and are on a first come, first served basis with the
application closing on May 22, 2023.
As a member of Let’s Get Ready, you will have a trained college student mentor who you can
reach out to for advice on building your college list, creating your college applications, and starting your college essay. This mentorship is entirely text based, which means it’s convenient, flexible, and there for you whenever you need it! Students who work with us find that they are more organized as they prepare to apply to college and feel supported when they are completing their applications.
Also, students who are interested can also sign-up for our SAT Prep program that will help you increase your SAT scores. This program will be from June 12- August 15, meeting twice a week Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday from 5-7 PM. Students are not required to participate in the SAT Prep course to join Let’s Get Ready. This program is FREE, too! Our coaches are fun, knowledgeable, and relatable. They recently have been high school students themselves and understand how scary it can be to apply to college. They are also great people to bounce ideas for college essays off of and to talk through what the college experience is like now. If you would like to join Let’s Get Ready or learn more about it, please visit our website at www.letsgetready.org. If you have questions, please reach out to [email protected]
