Emily, student, Class of 2021

"Starting from the winter of my junior year, Rachel helped me on multiple aspects of the college application process, from building my college list to figuring out how I could visit nearly all of my (nine!) accepted schools before making a decision. Most memorably, we worked on draft after draft of my personal essay to develop my ideas and voice. I was especially appreciative for her knowledge and guidance during the writing process, as well as her persistence in checking in to make sure I had finished all my work. Now I am proud to say that in the fall I will be attending Oberlin College -- a college that has met all of my wants and needs, and then some! In all, Rachel helped make this stressful and difficult process run as smoothly as possible, and my parents and I are all extremely grateful!"

Alice, parent

"When I decided to hire a college advisor, people asked me “Couldn’t you do this yourself without paying?”. Maybe. But knew I didn't want to let conflict rule my relationship with my kid during his last year at home. What I didn't know was what a gem I would find in Rachel! She is highly organized and kept my son on schedule -- taking stress off all of us. She has such great insight into the essay writing process and helped my son both define his goals and broaden his thinking. He is now attending his dream school on a full merit scholarship! They were such a successful team that we chose to have my next kid work with Rachel, this time starting earlier in his junior year. We’re humming along and gearing up for this year’s applications!"
