Introduction
There's no denying it: the college application process can be very confusing. What has always been a complex process for families, now has extra challenges thanks to both the pandemic and the decision many colleges have made to drop the standardized tests as a requirement. Let us help you navigate the process. We are a small education consulting company made up of three professors, college consultants, and industry professionals who have over 10 years of experience with student writing, college admissions, and knowing what graders for standardized tests look for in essays for the SAT, ACT, GRE and TOEFL exams. Our education backgrounds include Emory University, Columbia University, the University of California Santa Barbara, and the University of Virginia. We enjoy helping students obtain their academic goals, and when they realize that their hard work and dedication is helping them achieve what they've set out to do. Our goal is to help all students who need it at a fair price point that is accessible to all families. We use transparent hourly billing and will never ask you to pay for more services than you need. For the 2023-2024 cycle we have had students get admitted to such schools as:* Georgetown (graduate program), UPenn (graduate program), UMichigan (graduate program), Texas A&M (BSMD program ), Brown University, Cornell University, Boston College, UNC (full scholarship), Emory University, William and Mary, the University of Texas at Austin, University of Florida (Honors), Villanova University, Georgia Tech, Emerson College, Northeastern University, Clemon University (nursing), USF (honors + medical honors program), Florida Atlantic University (honors), University of Central Florida (Honors, Lead Scholars, Medical Honors with scholarship), Nova Southeastern (BSMD program & Premier Program with scholarship), University of Georgia. *particularly competitive/desirable majors or programs are noted. Please contact us for a comprehensive list of all schools.

I'm happy to recommend Jill for her amazing work with our daughter, who wrote a variety of college entry essay responses during her high school Senior year. Jill made suggestions on how best to strategically approach different entrance essay question types. She also provided thematic and structural suggestions, drawing upon a portfolio of successful examples. Our STEM daughter felt more confident with her essays with each passing session. Ultimately, our daughter was accepted by a number of top schools and chose to attend Columbia University's School of Engineer and Applied Sciences. Thank you, Jill!

We looked at a lot of options online to get a help for my son’s college admission essays. There are so many professionals who charge obnoxious rates. We are glad that we found Jill. She is very professional and offered guidance at a reasonable price. My son is very happy about her help on his college admission essays.

Jill was excellent! She immediately connected with my daughter and helped her get on track with her college application essays. Great energy and enthusiasm. As a customer I felt she was not aggressive in her sales pitch, just asked questions and got right to it.

I was really impressed with Jill's professionalism and knowledge of the college application process. Things have changed so much since I was applying for college, and having someone navigate us through the process, providing a third party neutral position, is incredibly helpful.

I knew within 5 minutes of the initial consultation that Jill was the perfect choice to assist my daughter with the college application process (after having interviewed 3 other college admissions counselors/agencies). Jill was encouraging, provided clear/concise guidance and was consistent in her communication throughout the process. My daughter thoroughly enjoyed working with her! As a result of her guidance my daughter (to date) has been accepted into 4 out of the 5 colleges she applied to, to include her REACH school! In addition, Jill's rates are beyond reasonable (if you don't believe me do your research)! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND JILL!!!
