Until 2016 when the SAT was changed, far the greater part of Harvard candidates got 2300 or more and among them, thousands got wonderful scores and were valedictorians in secondary school.

Passing up this urgent step has seen numerous potential Elite level understudies free their possibilities. Most Kenyan understudies perform well.

Accept President Trump could impel regulations against global understudies and render it unthinkable for Kenyans to concentrate on in the USA. Swallow the way that it isn't programmed that you will go. This will give you harmony. I wish I never needed to record this point on paper if you catch my drift.
There is life in Kenya, east or west, home is awesome. Indeed, even those understudies that go to concentrate on abroad will get back to complete their vocation dreams here.
7. Trust in yourself.
I picked this from the book The ability to appreciate people on a profound level. The force of the psyche mind is impossible. Say these words consistently; 'I will come to Harvard, I will seek after my college degree at Stanford.' Supplant with the college you want. I won't ensure that it will guarantee you confirmation, however assuming you accept, you could make it despite everything. What you feed your psyche is what you get. Companion, this is your time, you can do this.
At any rate, that is all I have until further notice yet I will keep on including more data this piece as I research. Keep close by for more.
I welcome every one of the people who came to American Colleges to contribute through the remarks segment with the goal that you can move more youngsters to accomplish what you did.
