Students applying to college today are more prepared than ever before, making the already stressful process even more competitive.
However, many students find their college applications benefit from their summer study abroad experiences with Abbey Road.
“My daughter has approached her senior year and college visits with a lot more confidence and anticipation of the enriching experiences that await her, having lived one just this summer,” said Kathy Hopkins, whose daughter Allison went to Saint-Laurent-du-Var, France with Abbey Road in 2009. “In her college essay, she even talked about how she changed as a result of her Abbey Road experience.”
Jacquie Moore’s son Michael went to Cádiz in 2009, and Moore credits Abbey Road with helping Michael get accepted at top schools.
“Above and beyond the language immersion, my son gained much in the appreciation of the culture and came home with a fabulously enhanced world view,” said Moore. “Mike has been accepted into one of the colleges he applied for with the highest honors and a great scholarship. I know this is, in part, due to his cultural experiences abroad and the transcripts he was allowed to submit from the program.”
“We are waiting on another college, which doesn't reply until February or March,” Moore added. “The fact that Michael was accepted so fast from another private college is testament to the great application he was able to send.”
Abbey Road’s language immersion programs improve students’ SAT Subject Test Scores, which further bolsters a college application packet.
“The test was fantastic! I got my score back, and it is 730 out of 800, considered to be an incredible score,” said Michael Mallon, who went to Nice with Abbey Road in 2009. “I owe much of that score to Abbey Road, especially because the test included listening, which for me improved greatly while I was on my trip.”
Abbey Road staff members are dedicated to their students and committed to helping students through the college applications process, often writing recommendation letters that many students credit with helping them secure admission to top colleges.
Mallon adds that he is sure his recommendation letter from Abbey Road helped him get accepted to Cornell University. “I was accepted Early Decision to Cornell University, where I hope to study Government and International Relations,” he said.
