IMPACT Your Acceptance
Designed for high school students looking to conquer the college application process, IMPACT your Acceptance will help you choose prospective schools, complete your essay(s), fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), and learn several valuable skills - from writing personal statements to requesting recommendation letters - that will be useful in college and beyond!
ABOUT IYA
