"Engaging with Sandy to help our daughter with college admissions was one of the best decisions we made last year. Being it was our first child, we were simply overwhelmed with the process and preparation for college applications. Sandy has a very structured and systematic process from start to finish to ensure everything stays on track. Her knowledge and expertise to bring the best out of my high schooler was second to none, and we were truly impressed by her strategies, insights, and professionalism. She often spent time above and beyond what was expected to ensure my daughter had everything she needed to move forward and complete her tasks. With her consistent guidance and support, my daughter was able to gain admission into her dream school! I would recommend Sandy to anyone who is looking for comprehensive support with college counselling and admissions."

"You were instrumental in finding the right fit for (our son) and helping him with his applications. Thank you so much and have a wonderful summer!"

"I recently successfully graduated from Amherst College last week.... I just wanted to thank you again for your help that went above and beyond my most hopeful expectations. I know that a lot of my success can be traced right back to people like you that helped me so much along the way. Thank you for being so invested in the students you help, and I just want to let you know how thankful I am for your life changing impact for me and my family."

"Thank you so much for everything you've done to help me figure out and get through the application process. Working with you made me feel much less overwhelmed and kept me on track, and I think I would have felt utterly lost as I tried to narrow down schools and figure out what I was looking for if I hadn't had you to help me. Your help with my Common App essay, in particular, was absolutely invaluable; I ended up with an essay that I feel demonstrates an impressive amount of who I am, and that I am proud of. Overall, I'm not sure I could have submitted an Early Decision application that I was proud of if it weren't for you!"

"The peace of mind and organization that Sandy brought to the whole process was outstanding. She helped get our son, who was very behind in his preparations, focused and excited about his options for universities. He really enjoyed working with Sandy and was ultimately accepted to every school he applied to and received academic scholarships to boot! Sandy is great at what she does and truly enjoys working with students and families. She is excellent to work with and we're looking forward to working with her again this year to help us get our daughter ready."
