ABOUT ADMISSION POSSIBLE Admission Possible is a nonprofit organization founded in Minnesota in September of 2000 and dedicated to helping promising, low-income students obtain admission to college. We serve 1,400 students in 19 high schools across six school districts in the Greater Twin Cities.
Overall, 98% of the students we assisted have been admitted to college.
Nearly 80% of our students who enrolled in college are still working toward their college degree or have graduated. By comparison, only 7% of all low-income students nationwide earn a college degree by age 24 (Education Trust).
Students in our program have shown an average ACT score improvement of 20%! Leading for-profit companies, by comparison, advertise average increases of 12-14%. To learn more about the success of our students and our program, view the Wilder Research evaluation report of Admission Possible.
