"To say we are beyond thrilled with Ian’s decision for Dickinson would be an understatement. 'Thank you!' hardly does justice to how grateful we are for your excellent guidance and work with him every step of the way! Your deliverables were on point throughout the process, and your generosity was an incredible gift to us. Not only did Ian find the right fit, but with the full tuition scholarship the college also fits our financial situation. I'm still in a bit of shock over it all!! The other week Ian said, 'I wish we could take Elizabeth out to dinner as a thank you.' Please know you made a huge impact on Ian personally in his development, and he very much enjoyed working with you!"

"Working with Elizabeth was the key to my success in the MBA application process. I was referred to her by my sister, who was accepted to all her top master’s programs in an entirely different field, and we both had fantastic experiences. Elizabeth was straight-forward, thoughtful, and timely with her feedback on my writing. As someone who had been separated from the professional writing space for several years, she gave me the guidance to write meaningful and effective application essays. All our work together culminated in acceptance to my number one choice of MBA program!"

"Elizabeth was an amazing help to me during my medical application process. She took time to personally get to know my profile, interests, and experiences; this helped me craft the best possible medical school application. Elizabeth truly cares about every person she works with. She was extremely compassionate throughout my medical application process and was always willing to offer her advice, even after we were done with revisions and my account was closed. Elizabeth genuinely wants everyone to succeed, and I really appreciated her professional and personal guidance throughout a complex and stressful process!"

"We can't thank you enough for all your support on Tantzie's college applications. 😊 She was ultimately admitted to all 8 colleges she applied to, including her ED school, Wellesley! Tantzie is very excited to join Wellesley as a premed student and so are we to see her attend!"

"I plan to attend UCLA next fall! I owe you a huge thank you for all your help during this process; it has been amazing, and I couldn't have done it without you! For me, the most helpful service was the warmup writing assignment and your subsequent review of it as to which pieces of writing would be best suitable for college application questions. I think that without the warmup and your review, I would have had difficulty coming up with ideas to write about or ideas that I wasn't 100% sure I was confident in. And of course, the hours of essay editing were a huge help as well. I loved the confidence I began to feel as I felt like I understood what colleges were looking for after a while of editing back and forth with you."

"After the anguish of being rejected by many colleges and waitlisted at two, we sought out your advice in the 2-hour consultation. Thanks so much for the clear-eyed assessment and for not sugar-coating anything—that was both needed and appreciated by us! Following your advice, our daughter was admitted from one of the waitlisted schools, just as you predicted might happen! It is a great fit for her!"
