Berkeley² Academy Student
Perfect Scores & Acceptances
 Harvard UniversityAdmitted to Harvard, UPenn, Dartmouth, Cornell, and Brown. "Berkeley2 Academy has the wealth of resource. Through a little push, I increased my SAT scores allowing me to have a greater chance in being admitted to the Ivies. The counselors also helped me to be productive and to be on top of things, which was really helpful." Click to Read Gloria's Full Interview! |  Stanford University"One of the reasons I loved B2A’s Gateway program was that it offered me a counselor who worked with me one-on-one, learned my personality, and guided (though never forced) me through the application process. My counselor knew me well enough to tell me that certain phrases in my essays “weren’t Jason,” or that I needed to add a certain “Jason touch” to a paragraph or two." Click to Read Jason's Full Interview! |  Rice University"Berkeley2 Academy was an incredible tool in guiding me in writing my essays. Their writing tips pushed me to search what qualities defined me and integrate these qualities throughout my essays and stories. With one-on-one mentorship, I felt comfortable with diving deep into my stories to write my essays and receiving constructive criticism. They showed me how to tie together my experiences and passions in a way that showed colleges exactly who I was in a unique way." |

 Rice University"What's so amazing about B2A is that they helped capture the essence of my personality, my grit, and my unique aspirations into compelling personal statements. I know for a fact that there were no other college essays like mine out there, which helped me stand out from the pack. B2A taught me how to craft refreshingly unique and powerful essays in a step by step, easy to follow, process, full of editing and re-writing dozens of drafts to create the best statement possible." |  Texas Tech BSMD“Early on, B2A’s sessions informed me of the competitiveness of BSMD programs and how I could make myself a strong candidate. B2A’s SAT and ACT prep classes were critical to my success in the standardized tests necessary to have a competitive application. The teaching and the environment which B2A immersed me in are unparalleled in their ability to push students academically." |  Princeton University"Berkeley2 Academy's SAT prep and ACT prep programs do a really great job of consolidating what you need to know and what you need to do to score higher on the SAT and the ACT. The instructors are very nice and accommodating. They genuinely want their students to succeed and improve their SAT or ACT scores." |
 University of Rochester BSMD"Berkeley2 Academy was incredibly helpful in both preparing me for the SAT and applying to colleges. In terms of preparing for the SAT, Berkeley is unlike any other SAT prep center because students are actually taught material on the SAT test rather than just testing strategies. We also get a ton of practice with previous tests, which is extremely helpful. In my opinion though, the most helpful thing that Berkeley offers is the Gateway Program, which helps students with college admissions." |  1570 / October 2023 SAT"I want to thank Berkeley2 Academy for helping me prepare for and ace the SAT!" |  1540 / December 2023 SAT"My English wasn't great since I moved from South Korea about two years ago. However, B2A's intensive summer session I took before my junior year helped me raise my SAT score by 200 points by going over every type of passage and question. My instructor was extremely helpful and was always willing to answer my questions too!" |
 1580 / August 2021 SAT"I enrolled in B2A the summer after my sophomore year. The Academy was extremely helpful for me while I was prepping for my SAT. The Diagnostic tests were the absolute best way for me to practice and they helped me so much. The classes were also taught by great people and they gave me a lot of assistance if I had any questions. I’m very grateful for B2A for helping me achieve my goals in my SAT!" |  36 / September 2021 ACT"Moving from the UK in my sophomore year, I wasn't familiar with the US education system, but I was able to achieve a perfect score on the ACT in a short amount of time thanks to Berkeley² Academy's guidance and help. Thank you so much!" |  36 / September 2020 ACT"Berkeley2 Academy’s test prep classes and tutoring were integral to my success on the ACT. The B2A material covers all test topics in-depth. Most importantly, the instructors have a genuine interest in seeing their students make progress by analyzing their weaknesses and improving on them." |
 35 / July 2018 ACT“Thanks to Berkeley2 Academy, I was given the help that I needed in order to prepare for my ACT. B2A made sure that I was provided with resources such as extensive practice tests and well-trained tutors, so that I could raise my overall score from 32 to 35 and my English score from 28 to 35. Thank you B2A!” |
