Harvard Learning Centers Levels the Playing Field in University Admissions with Online and Classroom Test Preparation for Grad and Undergrad
Harvard Learning Center understands standardized tests such as the ACT and SAT aren’t the be-all and end-all of college admission, but they do play an incredibly important role. Some universities rely on them more than other and virtually all univerisities agree with the recent statement from Marlyn McGrath Lewis, director of admissions for Harvard College in Cambridge, Massachusetts, “that these exams are their best way of putting your application into perspective…. Because they’re a test taken by a large pool of people, they provide some external reality,” Lewis says. “In general, they help us understand the rest of the academic credentials.”
Most colleges don’t have a cutoff score, but spaces are limited each year and that means the qualifications of other applicants can affect your chances of admittance. For instance, of students entering Stanford University in 2004, more than half had SAT scores of 700–800 on both the math and verbal sections. That same year at The Ohio State University, most incoming students scored in the 500–599 range on each section of the test. This is a numbers game and Harvard Learning Center levels the playing field in terms of test scores in the coveted admissions process to schools AND for scholarships.
Students are accustomed to online education. It’s familiar, it’s respectful of their time and abilities, and it keeps them at home! Harvard Learning Center offers SAT and ACT both in a classroom environment and online along with private tutoring.
The full line of test preparation materials published by the Nova Press, Los Angeles, California, includes books, software and online courses not only for preparation for the SAT, but for the LSAT, GMAT, GRE and MCAT graduate level tests. All materials will be prominently co-branded with the Harvard Learning Center brand identity. This agreement greatly expands the offerings of Harvard Learning Centers, Inc., while allowing it to enter totally new national markets in higher education, and, via the Internet, significantly broaden its reach for its existing SAT-ACT test-prep products and services.
The graduate level tests offered online are particularly appealing to students already in college with disciplined study habits and a high motivation to succeed. The bottom line is that test scores do matter, they matter a lot because academic admissions is NOT a sum zero proposition. If one person obtains a coveted admissions another person does NOT. Competition is the name of the game and every number that can be extracted in the process is critical.
As admissions become more and more competitive, test preparation becomes more a part of the academic process and Harvard Learning Center’s program appeals to students that require a structure environment and those that have the self discipline necessary to adapt to an online learning experience.
