Advice and Testimonials

Advice

  • Relax and be honest with yourself about what you’re looking for in a school, not just brand name. Along with that make sure that your high school transcript is as strong as it can be.

    Patrick, University of Notre Dame

  • Don't stress. Really. It all works out in the end. Don't get wrapped up in what everyone else is saying about their college process. At the end of the day, it is your child finding the right fit for them. Nothing else matters.

    Alison, The Ohio State University parent

  • The right school will happen. It may not be a top tier school. It may be a school you’ve never heard of in a city you never imagined your child in, but they will find their fit. Keep an open mind and take deep breaths.

    Meg, Drexel University parent

  • Only apply to schools that you would be okay with going to, don’t be afraid to ask for help on essays, visit as many schools as you can to determine what you do and don’t like.

Testimonials

  • You know your child. In our situation, we knew we needed an outside perspective to help and guide him. And it was a success.

    Jennifer, Santa Clara University parent

  • I was on a set deadline and it would help avoid all procrastination before the deadlines. The help would strengthen essays because they were checked multiple times and talked over.

    Peter, University of Illinois student

  • The work speaks for itself, it was incredibly helpful and my essays would have been nowhere near as strong as they would’ve been without help. It really helped me to narrow down my list and find the right fit for me.

    Patrick, University of Notre Dame student

  • As a parent, it took a lot of pressure and anxiety out of the process. It was becoming a taboo subject in our house and a sense of tension. My daughter worked really well with Mandy and was very receptive to her ideas, thoughts, and comments.
