Unsure if my inverse order compound sentence makes is correct
I am working on a college essay and I have one sentence that may have a grammar issue.
I was successful in my goals for the program, but even more so was the program successful in its goals for me.
I could obviously change it to something like:
I was successful in my goals for the program, but the program was even more successful in its goals for me.
However, the first sentence sounds more symmetrical to me and I like the sound of it much better. Is it grammatically correct? If not, is there a way to maintain the feeling of symmetry while fixing the grammar.
