...During the application process
When you apply to become a Breakthrough Atlanta student, you'll meet with members of our team.
We're looking for smart, dedicated students who may face challenges when preparing for college-and success in life. We're looking for the ones who work hard and play hard. Is that you?
When you apply, we'll ask you to write essays to help us get to know you. We'll also ask for recommendations from your teachers, and we'll talk to your parent or guardian. Teachers, guidance counselors, and principals also play an important. Most of all, we want to get to know you. After all, we'll be spending a lot of time together over the next six years.
Testimonial
"Two years ago, Breakthrough became a very intricate component in helping me to navigate the college application process. I attended a Workshop with admissions representatives from Cornell University, Columbia University, Bryn Mawr College, and Barnard College; which were all my top choices. Attending the session twice, through the intimate conversations with the representatives I was able to learn lots more about the institutions and develop very close relationships with each of the representatives."
- Briana Fullwood, Breakthrough Atlanta Alumni, Cornell University Class of 2015
