What the afternoon covers
Six skills for every class that follows.
About three to four hours. Every skill is ready to use the next morning.
Study skills + learning science
Study smarter, not longer
Retrieval practice, spacing, and other proven methods that make study time count.
Test-taking
Walk into every test ready
Pacing, tricky questions, and staying calm under pressure.
Time management
Own the week
A simple system for priorities and deadlines, built for a busy semester.
Leadership + initiative
Lead without waiting for a title
Spot a need, take the first step, and bring others along.
Clear thinking + AI
Think clearly. Use AI well.
Test an argument, check a source, and use AI as a study partner, not a shortcut.
Academic integrity
Own every word
Where getting help ends and their own work begins, so every assignment is truly theirs.
What your student walks away with
A website, a certificate, and a letter written for them.
Built in one afternoon. Theirs to keep.
Their own portfolio website
In your student's own words: who they are, what they've done, what's next.
The Pre-College Foundations Certificate
A certificate of completion with its own ID, ready to share.
A 15-minute certificate call
A personal call to go over the certificate together.
A personalized letter
Written for your student alone, based on the work they complete.
The personalized letter
Who writes the letter
A personalized, custom letter by Dr. David F. Lo, DO, MBS ("Dr. Dave"), Adjunct Professor at Touro School of Osteopathic Medicine & Co-Adjunct at Rutgers Business School Executive Education.
Faculty titles are listed for identification only. Touro School of Osteopathic Medicine and Rutgers Business School are not affiliated with, and do not sponsor or endorse, ProMed United or this program.
The letter reflects the work your student completes: a letter of recommendation when that work supports one, otherwise a letter confirming completion. Praise is never promised, and the letter describes Launchpad accurately, as a short, paid enrichment program. Some colleges limit or decline extra letters, so check each college's policy.
