Cramming applications at the last minute while balancing school work, staying up until 4AM to craft the perfect application essays, etc. At the end, everything worked out. I have obtained acceptances from Columbia, Dartmouth, Duke, Princeton, Vanderbilt, WashU, Carnegie Mellon, Williams, UNC and UVA -- some of the finest universities in the nation. I'd like to use this moment to thank Hilltop and Dennis Im for helping me throughout the proccess and giving me advice on my decisions. Dennis, you were an amazing friend and mentor.

I was taken by the sheer amount of kindness and friendliness by the teachers as well as my peers. I could tell that the teachers genuinely cared for the students as people on top of working to improve their academic success. As I'm currently applying to College, teachers at Hilltop are even taking extra time to help me with my college applications and essays. Hilltop has opened new opportunities and ideas for me and I can't thank them enough.

As a student at Hilltop, I can say with authority that this program is absolutely worth it. The teachers honestly care about my success and always push me to do my best. They helped me improve my study skills immensely and become a better student all-around!
