Why Greenville Families Choose College Refocus

Local expertise, national results. We work with Upstate SC students applying to Clemson, USC Honors, Furman, Wofford, College of Charleston—and selective programs across the country (Virginia Tech, Villanova, Michigan State, UNC, and more).

Personal, 1:1 support. No generic workshops. Every student gets a customized plan, topic strategy, and line-by-line edits.

Clear process & deadlines. We break essays into steps so drafts move from brainstorm → outline → first draft → refined revision → final polish—without last-minute panic.
