Meet Linjie, Future UCI Alumnus!

College Apps Academy, Our Students / By

Reality Changers was there since Day 1 when I started to apply for college. I honestly don’t know if I would have made it this far without Reality Changers, especially when learning was all online. I was clueless and lost with no hope, thankfully my College Apps Academy Instructor was by my side and helped me through the college process. I was able to submit my University of California (UC) and California State University (CSU) applications, Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), Personal Insight Questions (PIQs), scholarships, and so much more without any obstacles and I got into my reach schools because of Reality Changers!

Reality Changers has supported, guided, and stuck with me throughout my journey as a senior overall! I love how open and caring the program is to it’s students. I have gained a ton of knowledge about university and college alternatives. I never knew much detail about college until I joined Reality Changers! Truthfully, this program reaches out to those who needs the assistance the most (from my point of view) also!
