Parent
I can’t believe the application process came to such a halt when he got the early decision acceptance. I think it stunned us for a while! Thank you so much for recommending Northeastern to him because it would not have been on his radar if you hadn’t suggested it after listening to his feedback on the other schools he was considering and the characteristics that he liked about them. I think it’s going to be a great fit for him. I’m very excited that you are going to be working with two of my colleagues’ children during their journeys into college application land. I have let them all know what a great guide you’ve been for my son (and stress saver to me)! Thanks again for all your help. You are great at what you do!
Parent
My daughter committed to Clemson immediately!! She is over the moon excited to get into her dream school. I know that sounds cheesy but it’s so true! I want to thank you for all of the suggestions that you made for helping her get off the wait list, especially the major change and visiting again so that she could introduce herself to Admissions. We’ll never know what did the trick but I do know that it felt good to have a plan and couldn’t have hurt that she put herself in front of Admissions like that.
Parent
I have absolutely loved hearing my daughter’s personal narrative, as well as the supplementals that seem to be hand tailored to the school’s she’s planning to apply to. After an incredibly rough junior year, she seems to be blossoming, and is leaning into this exciting season of life. Thanks to you and the entire team for ushering us through. I have been singing your praises all over town!
Parent
I just wanted to extend a huge thank you to you and your team for all of your attention and support you have given to my daughter. While this is a stressful and anxious time for her, knowing that you were another encouraging voice in her ear gave me and her so much comfort and confidence.She’s nearing the finish line for all her applications so praying for her to enjoy the rest of this journey! She’s worked so hard and we are so thankful for your counsel and expertise.
Student
I would like to thank you profusely for all your support in the past year+ in helping me reach this incredible end result. I know I was not your usual advisee, with my moments of particular stubbornness. It has been a great pleasure to work with you, and you have been nothing but engaged, perseverant, and helpful. I wish you, my writing coach, and the entire team at CollegeSolutions all the best.
Parent
YOU ARE SO GOOD AT YOUR JOB!!!! I love the way you communicate with my son in such a thoughtful and positive way. You are also so calming and make the process seem less daunting. It’s clear you truly care about the students you work with, and we are so thankful for your guidance and help!
Parent
The news of our daughter’s early acceptance to Dartmouth is still sinking in. She is so thrilled and can't wait to start there in the fall. I wanted to thank you and the team at College Solutions for supporting her during her college search, summer internship/research opportunities, and the college application process. Your guidance, input and timely reviews of applications kept her on track and gave my husband and I a resource to confirm information, as well. We are very grateful that we had you and the rest of the team at College Solutions supporting her through this process. Thank you again.
Parent
My son is still riding high from his UMiami acceptance and we are actually headed there this weekend for the admitted students day. He’s so glad he worked with you because otherwise he might not have applied Early Decision, because he wouldn’t have thought it was possible.
Student
I truly couldn’t have done this without you. From the very beginning of this process, you were there to guide me, even though you only met me Junior year. You helped me believe in myself during a process that can sometimes make you doubt everything. Whether it was the smallest question or a full draft revision, you were always there with insight and encouragement. All of your time and support never went unnoticed, and I just want to say thank you. I feel so incredibly grateful to have had you by my side through every step of my college admissions journey. This milestone wouldn’t have been possible without you, and I couldn't have done it without you.
Student
I'd like to give my sincere thanks to both you and my writing coach. Without the help provided, I would have had a way harder time and less adequate essays. This journey not only produced wonderful essays, but also strengthened my writing skills as well as allowed me to learn more about myself. I'm sure that the skills and mindset I learned from this experience will assist me through college and further into my life and career.
Parent
I just wanted to thank you for how well prepared we are in this process. Clearly, we don’t know the outcomes yet, but I am incredibly grateful that when I receive correspondence from the colleges, I already understand the processes they are trying to explain. We have heavily relied on you for that, and you have delivered so well. Thank you.
Parent
As parents of boy/girl twins we couldn't have been more grateful to College Solutions for providing customised guidance over the last two years. Our counselor picked up quickly and was very flexible in schedule, accommodative and great to work with. She shared her own journey/challenges of admission with her boys who went to college and provided valuable insights into what schools are most appropriate for our children from the final list of schools admitted.
Parent
My daughter’s shoulders straightened up the longer you two spoke. It was so awesome to see! She was floating on air the rest of the day.
