What 519 high school students say.

As an exclu­sive for our blog read­ers, we'd like to share some of the early find­ings from the post-presentation sur­veys from our 7 pre­sen­ta­tions to over 600 stu­dents and par­ents at Granada High School in Liv­er­more, CA. Four-hundred and ninety-four fresh­men responded (of the 570 or so we addressed through the Fresh­men In Tran­si­tion (F.I.T.) pro­gram). The remain­der of the sur­vey responses came from stu­dents who attended our two panel dis­cus­sions at Col­lege Night, which involved 11th graders and their parents.
