Testimonials

Hear from our alumnis

Ana

Columbia University,

Upgrade Education is a community of passionate people, truly eager to help, who enjoy the successes of their students and are saddened by their failures almost as much as the students themselves. Nothing in the Upgrade Education experience seems impersonal, artificial, or ordinary. Working with my mentors, I realized one crucial thing: they were people from Harvard, Yale, and Oxbridge. They were flesh and blood in front of me, deeply human, wonderfully imperfect, and amazingly like me. And more than that, they believed in me and my ability to succeed. As soon as I realized that, quite late in the process, I really felt that I was moving towards a tangible goal. I embarked on this journey knowing exactly where I wanted to get, and I’m now disembarking knowing also that, once I get there, I’ll manage to adapt myself to it, to integrate myself, and to get by really well. Because I know it is something I truly deserve, but also because I know what I should expect, thanks to the Upgrade Education community. The mentors I had been working with always helped me put things in perspective, perfect my essays or improve my exam techniques. I knew I could always rely on them: when they applauded, as well as when they criticized me. And they encouraged me to permanently challenge my boundaries. I am quite different from the person//Ana who started to prepare for the admission more than one year ago, and I can tell I am more confident and I have somehow overcome many of my irrational fears. However, the things I learned at Upgrade Education go far beyond the aspects regarding the admission process. These are things I will practice and apply my entire life, and for which I will always be grateful to Upgrade Education.
