Accepted to Yale University
I came to HarvardSquare2 rather skeptical and unsure if college counseling was for me. I was quickly surprised by their hands-on approach and their real desire to see students achieve. I believe that the teachers at HarvardSquare2 truly want and believe that their students can succeed. The importance of a guiding teacher can never be overestimated.

Don Lee, Ayala High School
"If I could give HarvardSquare2 a thumbs up, I would give an infinite number of them. I was first introduced to HarvardSquare2 by a close friend of mine who received an SAT score that was to die for. I sought instructional help from HarvardSquare2 with not only the SAT but also schoolwork and college admissions. That is when my academics and thinking skills started to change. I improved my GPA by 0.7 and became a significantly better writer thanks to my great SAT teachers. And my wonderful college counselor pulled me through every step of the way of the college admissions system and never was disorganized a single moment. I was so happy the moment came when I received an acceptance letter from UC San Diego, a school that I was dying to attend. HarvardSquare2 is the reason why I am going to college, the reason I feel confident, and the reason I will succeed."
“I got into UC Berkeley,UCLA, Northwestern, Duke, Caltech, Johns Hopkins, Cornell, Columbia, and more. I think the best part about my experiences at HarvardSquare2 is the fact that the counselors here have never failed to reduce my stress level and give me hope during a maddening college application season. Thank you all for your support!”

The guidance offered by HarvardSquare2 was definitely very helpful. I was able to find confidence in my choices because they were there to make sure that I was going in the right direction.
Accepted to UC Berkeley
HarvardSquare2 definitely relieved much of the stress that comes with college applications. The skills that the counselors taught us were all in use once the interviews and college essays came around.

The college counseling helped, especially during the college application process. I felt that without the help that I got from HarvardSquare2, I wouldn't have gotten the results that I did.

HarvardSquare2 has effective and fun teachers, a great college counseling program, dedicated counselors who know what they are doing, and lots of relevant info and advice. I would definitely recommend it to all students.
“I didn’t understand calculus, now I’m a little ahead. It feels good when people ask you how to do it and you know how to explain it! Now I try harder. I’m shooting for an ‘A’ now!”

I don't know if I could have gotten into the schools I was accepted by if HarvardSquare2 didn't help me.

HarvardSquare2 definitely kept me on the right track and prevented me putting things off until the last minute!
“My SAT score has improved 450 points! HarvardSquare2 is fun and the teachers are great. Since there are small classes it gives you opportunities to go over your weaknesses and mistakes and you’re really able to get individual attention. I feel the teachers really care about me.”
Sean Full, Diamond Ranch High School
“I was deadset on believing that I would end up at UC Irvine. But HarvardSquare2 provided me with the utmost help possible in the process of applying for my colleges. The honest truth is I would most likely not have been accepted to the colleges I applied to without the help from HarvardSquare2. From reviewing my essays to helping me plan my future, HarvardSquare2 provided me with all the tools; at times I was even overwhelmed at the resources provided. I got accepted into all 8 colleges I applied to: UCLA, USC, UCSD, UC Berkeley, UCI, UCR, UCSB, and UOP – Pre-Dental Program.”
M. Chang, Walnut High School
“It was very helpful how I was able to ask all my questions and have them answered. Furthermore many of the predictions for colleges were quite correct and I am satisfied with my results. Most of everything done here is done quite nicely. I really enjoyed all my counselors. They were all so helpful and open to questions.”
