This is the announcement bar from Mr. Yang's Squarespace draft, back under the video the way it looked there. I only swapped the dashes for the words "to" and a colon. Things for him to confirm: (1) 300+ schools here, 180 on the School Interest Form. (2) Slide 4 says 1,000+ students, but the About page says 1,500+. (3) Harvard Nationals prep is not something I found on the live site or in my report, so he should confirm it is accurate. (4) Fall dates here are Sept 26 to Nov 14, but the live class page says Sept 19 to Nov 7. (5) Every Enroll button in his draft points to the old live-site class page, so it will need the new For Students & Parents link at launch.
