The college admissions process is not to be taken likely. While I was a recruited athlete, I needed a team. The Caltech Mens Basketball Coach helped me on the admissions side of things and my dad found out about the Wynns from another family and how they helped their son land a full scholarship at North Carolina A&T. The Wynns provided invaluable guidance in planning my high school course planning, which included 11 AP classes, and writing the essays I needed to distinguish me as the type of 'student-athlete' that schools like Caltech are looking for.Chase [GA]

I heard about the cohort from a friend. From the very first meeting, I knew that this was exactly what I needed. Not only did Mr. and Mrs. Wynn believe in me, they were honest about my strengths and my weaknesses. They guided me in identifying leadership roles, provided leadership roles for me in their foundation, and helped me to tell 'My Story' so profoundly, that my admissions officer from The University of Chicago sent me a personal note. Throughout my college experience I continued to serve as a mentor and speaker for their program. I now have my BS in Neuroscience from The University of Chicago and am in the process of applying to Medical School.Sydney [FL]

My life changed when my friend got me to come to the college planning boot camp as a rising 7th grader. As the first in my family to attend college, everything that I learned in the program, the opportunities to serve on the youth leadership board, and the guidance that I received from Mr. and Mrs. Wynn throughout my middle school through high school journey resulted in 5 full scholarship opportunities from Boston University, Macalester College, Northeastern University, Washington & Lee University, and Williams College.

Mr. and Mrs. Wynn are like my second parents. I was just beginning the 11th grade when I found out about their program at my high school. From that point they guided every step of my college planning journey, guided me in telling my story through my essays, and guided me in building relationships with colleges through their fly-in programs. After my all-expenses paid visit to Caltech, I knew that it was the perfect fit to begin my college journey.Tuyen [FL]

During the summer prior to beginning my senior year of high school, Mr. and Mrs. Wynn changed my life. They guided me into Dillard University and helped me develop an essay that landed me the MC Lyte Hip Hop Sisters Educating our Men Scholarship. I received a BS in Physics from Dillard and a MS in Engineering from Georgia Tech.Justin [GA]

I was not planning on attending college, but enlisting in the military. When I met Mr. and Mrs. Wynn as a high junior all of that changed. They convinced me that college was a possibility and that even a full scholarship was possible for someone like me. They were right! I am now a 3rd-year student at Williams College on a full scholarship majoring in chemistry and planning to apply to medical school.Juliana [SC]

I attended the college planning boot camp as a rising 7th grader and have participated in their program throughout middle school and high school. Every step of the way, Mr. and Mrs. Wynn have provided guidance and encouragement. They invited me to serve as a contributor to the ACT Study Skills and Learning Strategies Project and guided me in applying to the MIT MITES program. When I began applying to college, I relied extensively on their essay writing assistance. This was a total team effort that resulted in my being offered admission to several top colleges (Amherst, Brown, Dartmouth, and Georgia Tech). I am on my way to MIT on a full scholarship!Arshia [FL]

The cohort has been an instrumental part of my life since attending my first boot camp as a rising 6th grader. I have served on the youth leadership board, contributed to several books, served as a discussion group leader, and collaborated with other amazing students from throughout the United States. Mr. and Mrs. Wynns' guidance and my involvement into the cohort became a direct pathway into Brown University and a full scholarship.Jocelyne [FL]

I joined the College Planning Cohort program as a rising 9th grader. I read the news article about Kimberly and the scholarships that she had received and I thought, 'That could be me.' Then it was me! Mr. and Mrs. Wynn guided my journey throughout high school across my academics, leadership, and service. My plan resulted in my being selected as a Yale Young Global Scholar, LEDA Scholar, and receiving a full scholarship to Brown University. I am also a Jack Kent Cooke College Scholar.Omar [GA]

Mr. and Mrs. Wynn have been a part of my journey since the 8th grade. They guided my pathway throughout high school and into a full scholarship at Georgia Tech as a Clark Scholar. They have continued to support my journey with prayer and insight into learning strategies and study skills to help me through my biomedical engineering program. They are like my second parents.Tyra [GA]

I am 1 of 8 siblings from rural Lake City, South Carolina. Prior to joining the cohort as a 10th grader, I had resolved to attend school in South Carolina and take out student loans. However, Mr. Wynn nominated me for the Northeastern University Torch Scholars Program and accompanied me to Boston for the Interview Weekend. My journey as a Northeastern University ‘Torch Scholar’ has been surreal. I have now received my BS in Political Science and Africana Studies [debt free] and I am a Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Graduate Fellow at Northeastern University.Damian [SC]

As a triplet, my sisters and I needed full scholarships to help our parents avoid taking out loans. Joining the cohort and working with Mr. and Mrs. Wynn landed all of us full scholarships. I received my full scholarship as a Dowdy Scholar in the Honors College at North Carolina A&T. One of my sisters received a full scholarship to the Claflin Honors College. I have served as a mentor and discussion group leader in the program to inspire others to dream big and reach high.Sydnee [GA]

My mother is a high school counselor so I had a plan to attend college in-state with the Florida Bright Futures Scholarship. Since I was not a recruited athlete, I thought that my baseball career was over. Then Mr. Wynn told me that not only could I continue playing baseball, but that my grades and test scores qualified me for a full scholarship at HBCUs to which I was not even planning to apply—Tuskegee University and Xavier University of Louisiana. After receiving the Presidential Scholarship to Tuskegee University, I was able to walk on to the baseball team #22).Ryan [FL]

My parents put me in the College Planning Cohort program as a rising 9th grader. In the 10th grade I put myself in the program and absorbed every ounce of information that I could receive from Mr. and Mrs. Wynn. I developed my leadership profile, expanded my community service, and developed an intentional pathway into my top choice college—The University of Chicago. Not only did I receive a full scholarship to the University of Chicago as an Odyssey Scholar, I was also selected as a Ron Brown Scholar.Faith [GA]

During my mid-year assessment as a high school junior, Mr. and Mrs. Wynn pointed out all of my weaknesses in leadership and service and guided me in developing a plan beyond being a top academic student. The plan worked! I was offered admission to my top college choice—Georgia Tech—and received a full scholarship as a Georgia Tech Gold Scholar, an honor only offered to the top 2% of entering freshmen, who demonstrate scholarship, leadership, and service. Mr. and Mrs. Wynn are experts. Their expertise helped me to see beyond grades and test scores to the intangibles of college admissions.Justin [GA]

Mr. and Mrs. Wynn, when I joined the cohort and read about the stories of students who had received full scholarships, I thought my only full scholarship pathway would be through athletics. Wow, was I wrong! Being offered a full scholarship to Northeastern University and receiving a full scholarship as a Cheatham-White Scholar to North Carolina A&T was unimaginable. My mother and I can never thank you enough for all that you have done.Jada [GA]

My amazing journey began in the College Cohort with Mr. and Mrs. Wynn. My college knowledge was Ivy League, UGA, Georgia Tech, and the University of Alabama. Through the cohort curriculum, Mr. and Mrs. Wynn introduced me to liberal arts colleges and specialized college programs like the Meyerhoff Scholars Program at the University of Maryland - Baltimore County. Mrs. Wynn prepared me for the Meyerhoff Scholars Selection Weekend and I was selected as a Meyerhoff Scholar. I went on to earn 3 degrees at UMBC BS in Math; BS in Statistics; and a BA in Economics. I was then selected as a Rhodes Scholar and am pursuing a PhD in Economics at Oxford University in England.Sam [GA]

In the 10th grade, when I joined the cohort, I did not know anything about colleges beyond South Carolina. As the valedictorian of my high school class and first in my family to attend college, I had no idea that I needed a 'body of work' beyond academics to get into top colleges or being awarded a full scholarship. I will be forever grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Wynn, and my discussion group leader, Rev. Dr. Yolanda Davis, who guided me on an amazing journey into a full scholarship at Williams College.Jayla [SC]

When I met Mr. and Mrs. Wynn, I had been selected as a QuestBridge College Match Finalist. However, I really did not know which schools to which I best matched or the nuances of college admissions. Mr. and Mrs. Wynn helped me to rank my school, communicate with admissions officers, avoid what would have been a disastrous decision of withdrawing from AP Calculus, and being offered a full scholarship to Claremont McKenna College.Timoy [GA]

As the first in my family to attend college and receiving no college-planning guidance whatsoever at my school, I was lost. I had no idea how I would pay for college and assumed that student loans were inevitable. Then my Godmother introduced me to Mr. and Mrs. Wynn and the rest is history as I am now attending Vassar College on a full scholarship.Tiffany [PA], Vassar
