Leon Catney participates in Early Action Summer Program

Over the summer I was involved in a program by College Now called Early Action. Early Action is a two week program for rising seniors who wanted to improve their ACT test scores. We took classes at Cleveland State University involving subjects from the test. We also took pre- and post- tests to see what we needed to work on and how much we improved. The advisors worked with students in groups and individually.

ACT coursework isn’t the only thing we worked on. We also started the college application process and figuring out colleges we were interested in. We had the opportunity to visit and tour colleges like Ohio State University, College of Wooster, Pittsburgh University, Carnegie Mellon, and Duquesne.

The ACT prep courses and application processes were informative; the college visits were amazing, and on top of all that we got paid to do it!  I definitely recommend next year's program to any students.
