Desiree just matched with Washington University in St. Louis—her dream school! ? As I clicked on my application decision, I closed my eyes and opened them to see ‘Congratulations, Desiree!’ I started screaming and immediately went to tell my family. I CRIED as I celebrated my acceptance to my dream school." Desiree, a first-gen, low-income student, once thought in-state was her only option—but STEP changed her perspective on higher education. "Without STEP, I would’ve never attended WashU’s fly-in program, where I immediately fell in love with WashU and what it had to offer. I never would have learned about my dream school in the first place if it weren’t for STEP." Next for Desiree: WashU’s Class of 2029! Drop a ?? in the comments to celebrate! #STEPCollegePrep #equaleducation #equalopportunity #ThisIsSTEP #STEPsuccessstory
