"My summer study experience at Cambridge University with RCC was intellectually, culturally, and personally very fulfilling. I wanted to attend a major university before I actually transferred to one, and summer at Cambridge gave me that opportunity. When it was time to transfer, I chose Harvard, which fosters education that home-schooled students are accustomed to, that is, learning for the self-motivated and self-directed."

"The quality of instruction at RCC, especially in the honors program, rivals that of the four-year colleges I have since attended. The Honors Program gives you personal interaction with high caliber professors you rarely get from most four-year institutions. Without my mentor, Dr. George Krasilovsky, I would not be where I am today. Not only did he provide guidance, but he even took time out of his own schedule to drive students to visit Cornell."

"In addition, you get to study with a diverse group of students who are truly motivated and eager to learn. My transition into the Ivy League was easy, thanks to two solid years at RCC building my time management, prioritization and organizational skills."

"After graduating from the MTS Program in 1988, I transferred to Harvard University (which accepted all of my Rockland credits) on full scholarship, graduating with honors in 1990. The MTS Program, particularly the individual attention I received from my mentors, helped me acquire the skills and knowledge I needed to handle the rigorous academic program at Harvard. After earning a JD-MBA from Stanford University in 1996, I got a position with Donaldson, Lufkin and Jenrette as an investment banker, earning the title of Vice President. If it weren't for the MTS Program, I wouldn't have achieved these academic and professional successes. Thank you MTS!"
