I took Princeton Review because I heard Kaplan was wack in my college town (College Station, TX). (I have no idea if its true or not, I didn't sit in on a class, but I did trust the people who told me that).
I paid $500 and after much asking around found a department on campus willing to sponsore me for the other $500. IF YOU GO TO A LARGE STATE SCHOOL THERE IS SOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH MONEY OUT THERE FOR STUDENT AID...JUST ASK! I am not talking about the office of financial aid, I am referring to departments, majors, student retention centers etc.. A part of their budget is miscellaneous money to help students, its just we never think to ask.
Anyway, I digress. My score went up 12 points taking me from the 58 to the 93rd percentile. I got a full scholarship to the school at which I am now a 2L, a scholarship to one of my state schools and I got into a top school- no small feet considering I graduated with a 2.78, however it was in Biological Systems Engineering.
I did nothing extra while in Princeton Review. I didn't even do all of the homework- although I did most of it by far. I increased my games percentage from 33 to 80% and that made most of the difference.
If I can do it, anyone can!
