What Our Clients Are Saying

  • “Working with Emily when our eldest daughter was going through the college application process was amazing! Emily was there every step of the way, guiding us through the application and essay process and making sure our daughter stayed on track and that we remembered to take a few deep breaths along the way! With our second daughter, now a high school senior, the process was equally amazing. As a parent, we are eternally grateful for all Emily did to guide our entire family through what could be a stressful time. And, with both of our daughters having their choice of nationally ranked school and over $500,000 in combined scholarships, we think the results speak for themselves!”

    -Parent, Wake Forest matriculation

  • “What was feeling overwhelming for my high schooler as a junior (and me, this rst time at it as a parent), became not only manageable but also a pleasure. Emily met us exactly where we were, architected an actionable plan suitable for my child's current workload, and made the process far less intimidating.”

    -Katherine W.

  • “Being the oldest sibling, I knew nothing about admissions, so your assistance was essential. All of your extra time and effort is very appreciated by my family.”

    -Student, Northwestern matriculation

  • “Your constant support, recommendations and scholarship search (and so much more!) were instrumental in my college decision.”
