University Prep Center

I agree that this company is a sham! Do not uphold stated policy on returns. I have not received a refund as promised after returning the materials. Unfortunately I wasted money but learned a lesson! Do not order this program! It is a total rip off!

I would give them zero stars if I could. Never any returned phone calls, occasional return of emails with minimal helpful information, and to top it off, an undeliverable address when I attempted to return the product for a refund. Do not use this company! They will rip you off. I think the only people who post good reviews must work for the company or something.

beware if you try to cancel and want your money back for the scam (which it is) noone in customer service will return your phone call…28 MESSAGES IN TWO MONTHS TO HAVE NOT ONE RETURN CALL AND CONTINUE ON BILLING.
DO NOT USE THEM

This is an EXCELLENT RESOURCE if your high school son or daughter is serious about getting into a good 4 year college, as well as finding grants and scholarships they qualify to recieve. Evidently, private sources have deadlines to apply both before, and after the exams are taken.
If after reading this review you as a parent are interested in having a 30 day trial, call the office and ask for David Ramig, the supervisor, and see if there is a discount your child qulifies for. Since I’ve seen it’s results so far, I know my niece will keep it, because she really loves how the lesson plans are challenging her in an «interactive way».she has to reply to the practice questions, before it will move her on. She is really good on the computer because she was practically born with one in her hands, but they still gave her an orientation over the phone because she had to fill out a questionaire for their scholarship database.
WOW.she found out she qulifies for $ 18,000 1^st day she installed the software, and had an orientation, so far, from differeent sources. We thought we could just do research on the internet ourselves. BUT with all the info they need to do deatiled searches, there’s no way we would have found some of these sources on our own, becuase I’ve never even heard of some of the comapnies that are offering grants.
In order to qualify for a refund on the point guarentee, your child has to take an exam with the program 1^st, use it again, and take an exam again. The 30 day trial is so you can take advantage of all the resources they offer and to see if you want to keep it until graduation.
If you look into their «Ultimate Program» it’s actually a better deal if you have more than one college-​bound child, because it is a program that lives on the Internet, and they update their website to ‘real-​time” That means, each ‘student’ using it gets their own username and password, for one membership price. Each one of your kids has to take a diagnostic test with the software CD’s first, so that the program can develop a customized lesson plan based on whatever subjects need the most improvement. Every time your child uses it, by logging in, it prints out a progress report that gets e-​mailed to you, so that they cannot «fib» to you and tell you that they have already studied! If the lesson plans are not giving them enough improvement is certain subjects, they include live classes taught by professors with white board sessions on every subject on all version of SAT and ACT exams. By following these study plans and your child retakes the tests they guarantee a 300 point increase on the SAT and 5 points on the ACT each test to test. High scores on these tests could mean the difference in how many different grants and scholarship awards they potentially qualify for. They also provide grant research assistance, and help you understand how to apply for funding and help you with using the website all the way through your children’s señor year. If your child uses the program for a year, they also guarantee a GPA point increase. They really do a great job of helping you understand that getting into a good college is a process, and a commitment, that takes focused steps. If you make the investment in this program, it will pay for itself over and over, especially if you take advantage of the continuing education, and scholarship recourse’s. When it comes down to college applications, Deans of admissions seem to hoan in on 3 things
1. GPA 2. SAT/​ACT scores 3. Community/​Extra Cirrucular Activities… and UPC guantees improvemnt on 1 and 2… and helps find grants based on all 3

This company is a sham! The product was not nearly what I was told it would be, and when I returned it they refuse to issue the refund that I am due. Do not fall for this ripoff because you will not be refunded your money.
