Will College Peas get me into the college of my dreams?
Maybe, College Peas will significantly improve your chances of getting into any college you choose, but we can’t guarantee you will get in to exactly the college of your dreams. It’s important to keep an open mind about colleges. Getting your heart set on one college is often a recipe for disappointment. The College Peas approach will tell you how to select a college to apply to and how to pick the best college for you.
How can College Peas guarantee I will get into a competitive college?
It can’t. Nobody can. What we can do is give you the ideas and strategies that you will need to put your best foot forward. Our only guarantee is that we will give you your money back if you don’t think our ideas were valuable.
I have terrible grades. Can College Peas help me get into Harvard?
While we can increase your chances of getting into Harvard you still will probably get rejected. We could double your odds from 10% to 20% for instance and you will still have an 80% chance of being rejected. Harvard, like many highly competitive colleges, rejects 4.0 students all the time. For a college like this you need good grades, high test scores and College Peas.
Why is it important to go to a competitive college?
Being eligible for a competitive college means you will have more options when applying to college and you will have a better chance at picking the right college for you. Competitive colleges aren’t necessarily better than less competitive colleges. The most important thing is whether the college is a good fit for you and your aspirations.
Why was Mike such a bad student? Can I trust such a dummy?
Mike was a bad student because he didn’t understand how to be a good student. He realized that being smart doesn’t necessarily mean you get good grades and getting good grades doesn’t necessarily mean you are smart. Getting good grades is a skill like anything else. To some people it comes naturally and others must practice. When Mike figured out how to get good grades he got good grades.
