In reality, the end of the summer session is only the beginning of the Quest experience. Following their graduation from the five-week residential program, students are eligible for a wide-range of support services. Most of the students who participate in the summer program will be entering their senior year in high school in September (a few will be a year younger, entering their junior year).

Quest’s support services through the college selection process are extensive—more so than most commercial college counseling services. Building on the workshops students completed during the summer program, Quest staff will work with students to finalize college lists, and to create a college application plan. With over 35 years of cumulative experience with college admissions, and 80% of our graduates attending Stanford, Harvard, UC Berkeley, MIT, or other Ivy League Schools, the Quest staff has a wealth of advice of which students can take advantage.

The college admissions process can be daunting, especially for students with few mentors familiar with the experience. The Quest community is a strong resource in this respect, and we work together to match students with the best schools for them.
