ABOUT ACHIEVE

Achieve’s purpose is to bring high GPA students the most up-to-date news and information about college preparation, along with additional tips that will ensure the next educational step is nothing but successful. And that’s what we’ve been doing for over 25 years.

Achieve offers monthly preparation ideas, benefits of AP classes and volunteering and the hard work and advantages that come along with an honors college. After all, you are the students who go above and beyond. You’ll also find current news articles (why more women are graduating college compared to men) and the opportunities and eye-opening experiences found inside the classrooms taught by Teach For America members. Check out our financial aid advice to calm any monetary nerves about college (which is completely normal). We’ve also listed some vocab that may surprise you on campus. You never know what you might hear. If you’re thinking it seems like a long, hard road to success, read Andrew and Luc’s story. They’re just a couple of college grads in their early 20s doing what they love and making money at the same time. Just for fun, we threw in some ideas for letting loose, which can help in the stress department when finals roll around.

We hope you find Achieve useful when deciding on your plan after high school. Good luck with whatever that next step might be. We know it will be a great choice. You are, after all, the leaders of your class.
