Archimedes loves getting emails like this one: “Julia received her acceptance letter from LaSalle. She is so happy and relieved that it’s behind her. She was quite pleased with her test scores, particularly in math.” (As well she should be: Julia scored in the 98th percentile, nationally!) Jose, Julia’s dad, goes on: “I want to thank you again for working with her and being such a positive person with her. You really helped strengthen her confidence going in to her exam. She really enjoyed working with you.” And I (Devin) really enjoyed working with Julia! Her gains were substantial and consistent in every single section of the HSPT. We also prepared for her school interview together, rehearsing thoughtful, authentic responses to several different questions that are frequently asked in the application process. Julia will matriculate at La Salle High School in the fall of 2013.
