Greetings!

We have an important announcement. It’s not a secret that Ethiopia has been experiencing an internet outage the past week or so. And we understand that this affected many students with the summer session applications. Therefore, we decided to extend the application deadline for the last time. The new deadline is Saturday, June 22 at midnight. Use the extension wisely.

Best,
The CTP Team
Final call for Applications:

Aloha everyone!
As the Saturday, June 22 deadline approaches for the CTP 2019 Summer program application, we wanted to make one final post addressing some common questions and concerns that have been raised so far.

Q: Getting an official transcript from my highschool is really hard, and I won't be able to get it in due time before the deadline. What should I do?

Ans: It's okay. You don't necessarily have to upload an official transcript. Your report cards that you normally get at the end of the year will suffice.

Q: When and where do I pay the 650 Birr fee?
Ans: You'll only have to pay the 650 Birr once you've been accepted to the program. And you'll be paying the fee on the first day of classes (July 4).


Q: What's the number of files I can upload when submitting my transcript?
Ans: You can upload up to 5 files. But, one clear image of your transcript (or equivalent) will suffice.

Q: I'm not even in the 11th grade yet. Do you think it's time for me to start worrying about my future college applications?

Ans: Yes! Unless you are in the 8th grade or below, your future college applications to universities abroad is definitely something you should start preparing for starting this summer. The CTP summer session has a beginner section that is tailored to students with little to zero knowledge about the college application process
Q: How do I know if the Advanced section is the right fit for me? How much of the SAT prep will I be missing out on if I register for the advanced section? To what kind of students will you recommend the advanced section to?

ANS: (A very extended one)
As stated on the description our application form, http://www.ctpethiopia.com/uploads/1/2/1/1/121100825/ctp_2019_section_description.pdf, the advanced section will focus on helping students with their essay portions of the college app. Common app essay + some Supplement essays

Nonetheless, to answer the question, below is a list of the type of students we would recommend that they apply to our advanced section.

=> If you are currently in the 11th grade and have very satisfactory grades on your transcripts, and consistently been one of the top 5% or 10% of your class and you believe that you wouldn't need a lot of extra help with the SAT since you are capable of preparing for it by yourself, then the advanced section is for you.

=> If you are currently in the 12th grade (just finished you matrik exam) and you have already taken the SAT and are satisfed with your score or maybe you feel like you can improve your SAT on your own, but you think you need help with the numerous amount of application essays you'd have to write for college applications, then the Advanced section is for you.

=> if you are currently in the 12th grade and you had applied to some colleges this year, and despite your strong academic record and your decent SAT/ACT/TOEFL exam scores you were still rejected from most colleges that you applied to. And now you're planning to take a gap year and re-apply again. The advanced section is most definitely for you too. (Some of our instructors had also taken a gap year like you are about to, and so they'll also have a lot to help you with when ot comes to building your ).

=> Also, if you know anyone who falls under the above categories, then do share this information with them.

However, the ONE common requirement for all: We expect a huge amount of time commitment and effort throughout all 5 weeks of the session.
Final announcement! The application for the CTP summer session officially closes today at midnight. Please don't message us asking for an extension. We will not accept applications past the deadline.
Hello all,

Just a quick announcement that we will release application decisions by Saturday morning!! Stay tuned.

Best,
The CTP Team
Dear all,

Application decisions have been released! Please check your email to see the status of your application.

This year, we had a record number of applicants. We would first like to thank each and every one of you for putting in so much effort on your applications. We enjoyed getting to know you through the bits of information that you projected on your essays. As much as we would have loved to accept everyone, we currently don’t have the capacity or resources to admit 200+ students.

If you haven’t made the cut, please don’t let this stop you from pursuing your dreams. Seek other programs or online resources to improve your SAT and writing skills. Remember, hard work pays off.

CTP will also be working hard to make quality information available to everyone. Our weekly application tips will resume in September so keep an eye out for that.

Once again, thank you all for the effort that you have put into your applications.

Cheers!

In the new year, we’re dedicated, more than ever, to increase the number of opportunities provided to Ethiopian students, be it academically or professionally, and we are motivated to work hard to help you gain access to such resources. That is our promise to you all. Cheers to a great year!
