Students celebrate their achievements at the Admission Possible Graduation hosted by the University of Minnesota.

STUDENTS ACHIEVE GREAT RESULTS AS ADMISSION POSSIBLE GROWS

For 1,300 Greater Twin Cities students, going back to school will include Admission Possible

St. Paul, Minn. –  The 566 Admission Possible seniors in 2007-2008 – the program’s largest class yet -  have a lot to be proud of, as an impressive 99% of these students were admitted to college.  Achievements of this magnitude have become increasingly possible due to the aggressive expansion of Admission Possible, which has more than doubled in size in just two years. As school kicks off this fall, Admission Possible will serve 1,300 students in 17 partner high schools across the Twin Cities – up from 15 last year, and only two schools in the initial efforts in 2000.
