“The greatest reward is to know that you have actually affected a young person’s life in a positive way. This is the reason I started working in education and continues to be the source of my boundless motivation and energy.”

"Elizabeth delivers everything she promises and more. She was our guide through the entire college application process until all admission decisions were in. Ryan had many great options to consider and it was a tough decision for our family. Elizabeth and her team did some in depth research for us on each selection, including total cost of attendance over 4 years and the strengths and weaknesses of each college based on our son’s academic interests and the kind of school he always wanted to attend. Big sports, very large school near a major city and strong internship opportunities. Ultimately, we had the scholarship money our family needed to make it work and Ryan was able to make a decision about what college he was most excited to attend!"

"Thank you for all you have helped me to accomplish over the past two years of high school. Starting with a list of pre-med programs that fit my priorities and interests, steering me toward the right test preparation at the right time and working through each application essay until I reached the finish line, you were the vital link to being a successful applicant. Now I have to make a tough decision since I have so many offers to consider!"

"I write bearing good news. I have received acceptances to UPenn, Boston College, Villanova, USC, and Boston University so far! I wanted to thank you so much for all of your help through this entire process, and in particular for the help with writing my personal statement. I know that the writing was a huge component in my acceptance to these programs. I have officially decided to attend the Penn program in Counseling and Mental Health Services program!"

"Good news, I am officially enrolled at Northeastern University. The Northeastern Achievement Award for over $30,000 for 3 years is a big bonus and will considerably ease the burden on our family budget. My family and I couldn’t be more thrilled and, you were so right–I think Northeastern will be a wonderful fit for me, and I am looking forward to the experiences I will have there. I want to say thank you for all the advice and assistance you gave me during this process. Your help in the college search and months of essay guidance was invaluable to me. I am so happy with my final decision, and I know I couldn’t have made it here without your help! Again, thank you so much for everything."

"Good news abounds in the college acceptance area: I got into every college I applied to! TCNJ, Delaware, Indiana, Stony Brook, Fordham, Pitt, and Brandeis all said yes (and Delaware, Indiana, TCNJ, and Stony Brook all offered me generous scholarships). This last week, over spring break, I went with my mom to tour colleges and finally narrowed it down to Pitt vs. Brandeis (based on cost, quality, and resources). I know I have all these terrific opportunities in large measure due to your support and guidance. I will update you as soon as I decide!"
