      Incredible kindness and assistance

      Hi Ms Arianna! I cannot imagine my highschool experience without your incredible kindness and assistance with all my endeavours, and Ascend’s program as a whole. I truly could not have gone this far without Ascend and all your help. I’ve decided to go to UIUC and have already comitted to the school! Thank you once again for these last 2 years and your efforts through it all!

      Would not have been possible without you

      Thank you Mr. Nitin for all your help with finding the right college and programs! Thank you Ms. Arianna for all your support, from check ins, scheduling, lessons, uni apps and more. I truly appreciate your kindness and generosity. And thank you Ms. Marijan for your endless help with all my essays. I could not have completed the whole process without you!

      Incredible knowledge and a well-structure approach

      Ascend Now has incredible knowledge and a well-structured approach which was a key factor during my son’s application. We were unsure between the UK and Japan but after deep consideration, we decided to try both and my son got accepted into UCL, Durham and Tokyo University.

      Key contributor to my college process

      I really enjoyed my time working with Ascend Now. I wanted to apply to transfer universities after my first year at BU – my dream being Georgetown. We worked on my GPA, recommendations, and all the essential elements. I got accepted and for sure Ascend Now has been a very important contributor to the entire process.
