In just nine years, Admission Possible has built a strong reputation in Minnesota for helping promising, low-income high school students earn admission to college. Wilder Foundation Research, an independent external evaluator, captured the program's success in an evalution report. Here are several snapshots of our results:
- Overall, 98% of the students we assisted have been admitted to college. The Admission Possible class of 2009 - our largest group of seniors yet - included 619 students, 98% of whom were admitted to college. Historically, Admission Possible students who are admitted to college have a 93% enrollment rate.
- Nearly 80% of our students who enrolled in college are still working toward their college degree or have graduated. Click here to see where our alumni attend college.
