Testimonial

Our daughter’s college search was unfocused and we felt we were running in circles. After a couple meetings, Sam had a clear list of colleges with realistic choices and had researched all the areas that mattered to us. He worked with our daughter on the entire process, essays, applications, resumes and deadlines. Our daughter was accepted to her first choice college and we are all thankful for Sam’s help and support along the way.

Parent of student, NYU

Sam brought clarity to an overwhelming application process. He ensured that the applications I submitted were the very best they could be, leading to my receiving several great offers to choose from at the end of the process.

You gave our daughter invaluable help in the college application process through your suggestions of schools that best suited her goals and strengths. You gave her tons of information about all the colleges that offered programs that matched the career she was interested in and also showed her the importance of writing essays that highlighted her individual personality and character, a skill that served her very well through the entire process.

- Parent of student, Vanderbilt University -

Sam’s advice and guidance were invaluable during the essay process. He was excellent at helping me improve my essays without telling me what I should write. With his help, my essays were acceptance-worthy and still 100% my own work.  He brings out the words and messages that college applicants struggle to convey by themselves.

- Student, Georgetown University -

We did it!  I’m going to college, and I couldn’t have done it without you. You took the intimidation out of the process, and I’m really happy with all the great choices I have. Thank you!

- Student, Boston College -

Thank you profusely for all the help you gave our son on his applications. We honestly couldn’t have done it without you. We appreciate your promptness, your effort and the way you helped him without taking away from what he did or who he is.
