"I want to thank you for your thorough vet school admission analysis and next steps for our son. He has embraced your recommendations and this will be his third week in the Microbiology course at Oklahoma State University! This would not have happened without you. After researching various veterinary schools he said your recommendations were spot on. He is now confident in moving forward following the path which you have set out for him. I can’t thank you enough for getting my son on track for vet school."

"When I decided to go to veterinary school, I was intimidated by everything I had heard about the competitive admissions process. I knew I was meant to work with animals, but the steps to get there seemed very daunting. Elizabeth helped me realize that the process was something that I could conquer! She prioritized getting to know me, my background, and my goals first, and then worked with me extensively to put my best foot forward in each of my applications. She was extremely honest about everything I came to her with, even if that meant telling me something I didn’t want to hear. When it finally came time to submit everything, I felt much more confident about the process, and was actually excited to start hearing back from schools.

As I started to hear back from schools, Elizabeth continued to make herself available to me for questions and admissions updates even though our contract had ended. She was committed to helping me understand the machinery of vet school admissions, even though the application portion itself was over. I am so grateful to have someone so knowledgeable, honest, and enthusiastic on my side throughout this past year! Because of Elizabeth’s guidance, I was accepted to Tufts, UPenn, K state, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Oregon state. I visited my top three campuses, and I ultimately chose Kansas State University due to the quality of the program that totally fits my goals and needs as well as the in-state tuition!"

"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!"
