  10. Results from Spring 2010 “I had fallen below the GPA requirement my scholarship demands, and I was sure there was no hope for me and maybe I just wasn’t cut out for it (college). However, after IMPACT I really utilized all the tools I was given . . . . With all these tools, I was able to discover that I do have time for other fun and important things, such as a social life and most importantly, sleep. I fully credit my success to CAS and wouldn’t be here without all their advice. I can now proudly say that after beginning college with a 2.79 GPA, I have just recently finished midterms week with a solid 4.0!! Thank you so much, and please continue with programs like IMPACT and CAS!!”
