Student Comments 
 
"I just want to tell you that you helped prepare us VERY well for the MCAT. Many of the questions on the real test I took seemed to come directly out of the Altius lessons. It was amazing! The Altius program is definitely well worth the investment. In fact, based on what other people are charging for their courses, you should probably charge a lot more." (Oleg Sostin - Portland State University)
 
"There are many good aspects to the Altius program. The individual focus, in particular, is great. As I go through the material with the tutor she is able to spend more time on topics I don't fully understand. The intensity of the Altius coursework, specifically the practice questions, makes the AAMC questions seem much easier than normal. They have a great program to get people ready for really high scores on the MCAT. The difference between Altius and other MCAT programs is like training for the Olympics vs. training for a high school track meet. They require a lot of you, but they get you ready for excellence." (Eric Schott - Brigham Young University)
 
"Not only is this program the best bang for your buck, but you have tutors who are personally responsible for helping you achieve the best score possible. This is in contrast to sharing a classroom with tons of other kids and having an instructor lecture to you out of a book. With Altius, you get one-on-one sessions to drill the material into your head. I found both the one-on-one tutoring and the group session component very helpful. If you're considering another program, or studying on your own, take Altius!" (Umair Naveed - University of Utah)
 
“I was just accepted to the University of Virginia Medical School (my top choice!) and I want to thank you for all of the help you gave me last spring. I know that if I hadn't prepared with Altius, I would not have done nearly as well on the MCAT (feel free to quote me on that).  Also, I definitely would have had a horrible personal statement if it were not for your advice and feedback.  Thanks again! (John Tillou - University of Utah)
 
“Altius Test Prep's tutoring was incredibly helpful to me. I can definitely offer my strong recommendation of this program to anyone. I found that my tutor kept me on track, kept me motivated and—most importantly—focused me quickly on the most important material. My tutor cared about my success and was willing to go the extra mile. He was able to give me many strategies and insights on the test taking experience that really helped me to perform better. Altius is more affordable than a Kaplan course, but that is not the main reason that I chose it. I chose Altius because, unlike other MCAT prep courses, it focuses only on the material you need to know to perform well. There wasn’t any time wasted on useless information, or subjects I already knew. In the end, I learned that the MCAT is not a hard test if you have the right preparation. It was well worth the investment.” (Cameron Jennings - University of Utah)
 
 
"Your program was very helpful! Many of the science concepts I have struggled with for a long time were suddenly made very clear to me.  In fact, they became the topics that I was hoping to see on the test.  I was probably more confident about the physical sciences than I was about any other section.  Last time, after taking the entire Kaplan course, it was the section that most intimidated me.  Your program was great and I would, and already have, recommended it to anyone preparing for the MCAT.  I've been accepted to 3 top medical schools and will be enrolling this fall. Thanks!" (Chris Thacker - Brigham Young University)
 
 
 

 

 

 

"Altius is by far the best program available anywhere--and it's NOT even close. There is no doubt in my mind that anyone, whatever their abilities, will earn a higher score after studying with Altius than they would studying with any other company. Their program is aggressive and their results are awesome. (Jonathan Williams- Weber State University)

 

 

"My suggestion for how you could improve this course is . . . don't change a thing. I loved this course. My tutor was awesome and helped me so much. The only thing that can prevent me from getting my desired score will be my own distractions. This course was excellent. Thank you so much! (Jordan Barker - University of Utah)

 

 

"I was signed up for another prep course and when I found out about Altius I switched. I was not disappointed. I really loved the one-on-one tutoring. I feel like I learned a lot faster with that component than I would have on my own or in a lecture. Their interactive group sessions are great too because you get to see how others approach passages and solve problems, which is a great learning tool. I would say that Altius is by far the best option. You have a tutor who is invested in you and is motivating and pushing you all along the way. Altius is a great program that has all of the keys needed to succeed if you are only willing to make the commitment. It is the best investment you can make! (Hanna Jenkins - University of Utah)

 

 

"What I liked most about the Altius program was the multi-faceted approach: group sessions, personal accountability, one-on-one tutoring, and superb strategies. I looked into both Kaplan and Princeton Review, but wasn't terribly impressed. Altius is definitely the way to go." (Elliot Richards - University of Utah)

 

 

"I love the way Altius teaches you to think; I sure wish I'd had this same help back when I was taking these pre-requisites in the first place; it would have been so much easier! (Devin Kearns - University of Utah)
 
"I absolutely loved the Altius program. I thought it was massively helpful. All the topics were covered properly and the one-on-one practice really helped. I wish I could help you out with some improvements, but I really think you've got something amazing here.  You've done a very nice job creating the lesson plans and organizing the program. I would most definitely recommend the Altius program to anyone.  In fact, I have already recommended it to my friends." (Kevin Jensen - Brigham Young University)
 
"I looked into the major prep companies and decided to try studying on my own instead. On test day I didn't do quite as well as I had hoped and decided to give Altius a try. I was hoping to improve my score, but was amazed when my score went up by an amazing 8 points!" (Libo Wang - University of Utah)
 
"I was already signed up for Kaplan when I learned about Altius and talked with them about their unique conceptual approach and very economical tutoring.  I asked for my deposit back and switched to Altius. Now I'm so glad I did.  I've struggled for years with Physics, but the one-on-one tutoring and conceptual learning has really helped me pull it together." (Jolene Barker - University of Utah)
