All students take the following three classes and guidance sessions:
College Admissions Smart
This comprehensive program provides direction and insight into the complicated college selection and application process. The course takes a workshop approach to narrowing college choices, crafting a dynamic admissions essay, preparing for an interview, establishing a personalized admissions time line, and using a step-by-step process to complete college applications. Students will go “Inside the Decision” and witness a simulated admissions application review session where professional admissions officers evaluate actual applications. Students also receive two of The Princeton Review’s renowned books: Best 361 Colleges and Visiting College Campuses.
Essay/Personal Statement Writing Workshops
When it comes to your college essay, we know what colleges are looking for. Colleges use these essays to discover the “real” you and to help determine what you’ll contribute to their academic community. By reviewing the most commonly asked essay questions, we teach you how to effectively express your ideas and create a positive impression while avoiding potential missteps.
SAT Prep
The Princeton Review offers the most effective and personal PSAT and SAT preparation available anywhere. That’s why we help more students prepare for the PSAT and SAT than anyone else. This unique two-week summer program offers you an experience you won’t find anywhere else.
These intensive programs focus on all the high-yield content tested on the PSAT and SAT. Prepare with 18 hours of small group classroom instruction, plus three full-length, computer-analyzed diagnostic practice exams. Class size is small, and students are grouped by individual strengths and weaknesses.
Beat the SAT by The Princeton Review
Intensive Schedule You meet with your Princeton Review instructors every day for classes. During the course, you receive a comprehensive review of the core content of the PSAT and SAT, coupled with The Princeton Review’s innovative test-taking strategies. You learn how to organize your study time and recognize traps to avoid wrong answers.
The Best Instructors We all remember our favorite teachers. Great teachers make for great learning experiences. Our teachers are bright, dynamic, and enthusiastic – and they’re experts at teaching our exclusive methods.

The Best Materials The Princeton Review spends millions of dollars in research and development each year. Only in our course will you receive our exclusive manuals, workbooks, and materials from the test-writers for the most up-to-the-minute exam information.
Turn Your Computer Into A Personal Tutor The Princeton Review has created a world of unique online resources that you can use when you get home. Our Online Student Center gives you access to practice tests, lesson reviews, and plenty of drills and exercises.
Free Fall PSAT/SAT Wrap-Ups To be sure that you are ready to take your exam in the fall, students are eligible to attend a free Fall Wrap-Up to sharpen their skills. During the summer program, students will receive dates and locations of Fall Wrap-Up sessions being held across the country.
Guidance Sessions
Guidance from Admissions Experts In order to pinpoint the school that best meets your needs, first you have to figure out just what those needs are. Our effective admissions advice helps you define your ideal school by looking at criteria such as your interests, your goals, your academic background, school location, size, finances, faculty credentials, course offerings, team sports, and more. And we won’t just stop at helping you narrow down your school choices either; our experts help you develop a game plan to increase your chances of acceptance, covering the rest of the application process and even going so far as to prepare you for your college interviews.
Choosing Recommenders
Most schools require letters of recommendation as part of the application. If you think all applicants send in strong recommendations, think again. There are right and wrong ways to choose recommenders. In this workshop, our faculty will help you determine who should write your recommendations and what they should say. We also provide guidelines of what you can do to assist your recommendation writers.
