Gary M. says, "Very lucky to have found Rand on Thumbtack. As our college admissions consultant, he was directly responsible for son's admission into two prestigious programs at both Rice University (CS Honors) and UT-Austin (CSB Honors) as well as full tuition scholarships at both UT-Austin and Ohio State. I can't say enough good things about his work!
Early-on, Rand worked extensively with my son, Andrew, to plan and build his activities to maximize their college application impact. He followed-up regularly to offer advice, encouragement and course correction. Maximum personal attention!
Rand's assistance in helping Andrew research, organize and prioritize schools was invaluable. His admissions and scholarship application assistance was truly amazing! He is a master at drawing-out my son's absolute best writing, while at the same time, packaging my son's experiences, activities and accomplishments in the best possible light. His inside-knowledge expertise in this area in undeniable.
Rand uses a 1-on-1 approach, focused on teamwork. He worked with our entire family, not just Andrew. He is a friendly, relaxed guy that provides mentoring and support, as well as guidance. He was available for Andrew 24/7.
Rand is also professional, responsive and punctual. He made the extra-effort to get to know Andrew very well. As a parent, he helped me navigate this overwhelming process every step of the way. His easy-going approach reduced my stress and eased moments of tension that existed with my son. Top-notch admissions counseling is not cheap, but Rand's pricing is reasonable, and without a doubt, is a tremendous value, considering everything he provides."See more
