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 & 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 & your review, I would have had difficulty coming up with ideas to write about/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 & 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!

Our son has decided to go to Loyola Chicago! He is very excited and looking forward to attending Loyola. He was awarded the Dean’s scholarship. He also received scholarships from DePaul and Hofstra. He was admitted to University of Oregon, UConn, and TCNJ. As parents, we want to thank you again for your commitment for the last couple of years. We really appreciate everything you have done for us and you definitely made the college admissions process easier for us and far more successful for our son.

Elizabeth truly went above and beyond to support me throughout the long and stressful medical school application process. She spent time reviewing all the supplemental material and essays I sent her in great depth to help craft a personal statement that best captures my strengths and unique attributes as an applicant. Although we were never physically together to work on my application, she was always very responsive and reliable with her communication through phone calls and emails.

Although we were never physically together to work on my application, she was always very responsive and reliable with her communication through phone calls and emails.
In addition to her helpful comments on all my primary essays and activities section, Elizabeth also helped polish all the minor grammatical errors and check the overall flow of my writing. Even after I had submitted the essays, Elizabeth showed no hesitation in sending me additional material to best prepare for my interviews. She has been very understanding and accommodating throughout the cycle, and I could not express my gratitude enough. I highly recommend working with Elizabeth to anyone applying to medical school!

The medical school application process is long and difficult. But, with Elizabeth I was able to get ahead on the primary and secondary applications for medical school. Elizabeth was integral to my application process. She helped me craft a personal statement that turned my experiences into cohesive stories that showcased my strengths and my desire to become a physician. She also helped me address some "red flags" in my application in a way that I could show my academic and personal growth. Additionally, she helped guide me on how to respond to secondary prompts and how to make them the most effective with limited word counts. Elizabeth’s help minimized my stress during this process and need to endlessly search the internet for best medical school application tips. I highly recommend her services for anyone applying to graduate school!
