“Sam: Here is another success story for you. My grandson Chris just finished freshman year at D-II West Virginia Wesleyan. His GPA was 3.0. Chris started as the 6th string QB and worked his way up to the scout team QB while red-shirting. After the spring game he is now the #2 QB with 4 years of eligibility. He had a terrific spring game. Without your help he would not have been there. Thanks again.”

I would like to thank everyone at College Bound for all they did to help me achieve the highest test scores I could, and put me in the greatest position possible for college. College Bound not only helped me improve my test scores, but they helped prepare me for what was going to be on the test. With their help, I was calm and comfortable going into the testing room.
