After estimated and interviewed with a few pretty expensive high-profile college admission…read moreconsultation companies on both west and east coasts, we decided to go with the B2A in Austin, hoping that face-to-face in-person touch could help my younger son, P, go through the strenuous process of applying for colleges. There were hiccups on the road but the result turns out terrific. P has been early admitted by his dreamed school. We started to work with B2A in late June due to P's summer camp schedule, and the counselor initially working with us found another opportunity and would leave B2A in 3 weeks. Thankfully, after we informed Emily of the situation, she quickly assigned André to work with P. We couldn't be more grateful for this transition. André has helped P develop essay topics most relevant and resonant to his personal experience and kept encouraging him to be himself. P is strong academically but not much a leader type kid. His essay is touching but by far inspirational. P had disagreement with the head counselor after final-review, and after some back and forth email exchange and amendment, decided to submit without the head counselor's final endorsement by the end of October. Now we look back, it would be helpful if we had started to work with B2A weeks earlier in June. Hope our experience with B2A could benefit other incoming seniors.

TAFKAPFTW. Who doesn't love the Princeton Review? But it's not actually based in Princeton apparently? Or at least maybe for this region, it's based right here in this mall, just seconds from UT campus. Pretty interesting. Pretty cool actually since it's basically on campus. It closes earlier than the rest of them though so most of the times I've been here I haven't been able to check it out. Anyway it's more Barbie's thing than mine because she went to the Ivy League and is actually proud of it, whereas I went to Oxford and am indifferent to it at best.

I…read moreguarantee the Princeton Review, which upped her score considerably, was a big part of her getting into a class with a 9% acceptance rate. Not to mention, the university offered her super financial aid, so it ended up being very, very affordable. Our investment in the PR course ended up paying off in a huge way. Original review from Feb 2010: My kid took the SAT prep course, and it made a substantial difference in her score. I'd bought several test prep books that helped a little, but there is something about the in-person experience that really makes the info sink in, so this is absolutely worth the time and effort. It's expensive, so look online for promotional codes which can save some money. It does involve homework, so be sure to budget time appropriately. The only caveat is their system for the essay - though she's a particularly skilled writer, she followed the PR instructions to the letter for this test section (instead of doing her usual thing) - and it actually cost her points. If we did it again, I'd tell her to ignore them on the essay bits but pay close attention for the rest. Overall, we enthusiastically recommend Princeton Review.

I was kind of unsure about where to take my daughter who was struggling with math. She had been at…read morea private school in Comal county where her 4th grade math teacher completely killed her confidence. I brought her in for the initial assessment and could tell she was nervous. Nathaniel greeted us the moment we walked in the door. Once we went into the office, it wasn't like the typical parent teacher conference where the child sits there staring at the floor. He talked to both of us and explained the process in a way that she didn't feel like this was punishment. Within a few minutes she had relaxed and was smiling. From day one, I noticed a difference in the way she acted about math. It was no longer a chore. She was finally understanding things and didn't feel alone. The teachers were friendly and stayed on her level. I am so happy that she has already started to develop a positive view on math and especially with her spending an hour after school doing it.

Happy to be the first to write a review! I took the Group TPR Hyperlearning MCAT Classroom Course…read morestarting December of 2011. I thought my Chemistry instructor was awesome. His lectures were clear and to the point. His name was John, but I don't know if he teaches there anymore. It's a crapshoot how experienced your MCAT instructors will be. Some will be first time teachers. One big negative was during my course Princeton was scrambling to find a Physics tutor to teach our course. I thought that was really unprofessional. I was starting to sweat as I knew that would be my most difficult section to master. I think out of all the MCAT prep companies, I think the Princeton materials are the best. The online test and question bank is amazing. They give you so many practice tests including all the AAMCs. Since, the MCAT is taken on the computer, I found it most helpful to do questions and practice tests online. The review books are pretty good, except I think the biology prep book is WAY too detailed and you should probably go with a shorter book like Examkrackers. The questions and passages in the big TPR book are plentiful and I recommend you do all of them. The TPRH verbal book practice I think represents the MCAT passages the most out of all the other prep companies. Overall, I recommend TPRH's MCAT course over the rest of the prep companies. Mostly because they have the best materials. If I could do it all over again, I would have opted for the online video course and saved a few bucks and still get the benefits of the question/test bank. The quality of the instructors is probably more consistent. Most of my classmates also stopped attending some of the classroom sessions because they got lazy or found studying on their own more useful. Overall, your MCAT score will mostly depend on your self study and practicing problems rather than passively attending a course. The big plus you get with a course is just the materials, which might be hard to get a hold of otherwise. One extra tip: If your online Princeton materials are about to expire you can extend your access for about 100 bucks if you decide to push back your test date.
