Nick was a pleasure to work with and his expertise in the admissions process helped me secure my place at the Ivy League school of my dreams. Nick was very flexible and responsive to changes in my schedule and always found time to assist me. Overall I attribute my success in the difficult admissions process to Nick’s expertise and guidance.

We could not have gotten through the college application process without the help of Nick. Nick helped my son every step of the way, from helping him make a college list, showing demonstrated interest to schools, advising on how to approach teachers for letters of recommendation, and helping with the college applications. His assistance with the college applications included structuring the activities list to display my son’s strongest strengths, providing invaluable insight on the essays to help my son stand out from other applicants, and structuring the resume for those schools that allowed a resume to be submitted. Nick was also instrumental in helping my son with a passion project to help him stand out from other applicants. All these efforts resulted in my son being accepted to all of his top college choices. I cannot recommend Nick enough to anyone that is about to apply to college! I am so thankful that we found Nick.

Nick Mosca is an expert in college admissions. He guided my daughter with professionalism and provided great insight into the admissions process. He offered up several great ideas for her to implement to increase her chance of acceptance. As a result, she was accepted to her chosen UC university. We can’t thank him enough!!

Our daughter Lucia achieved an above average score on her PSAT as a Sophomore in high school. She was determined to do better on her SATs than the PSAT indicated. After researching and meeting several potential SAT/ College admissions tutors, we chose to work with Nick Mosca. We immediately liked his energetic, positive vibe and his methodical, insightful approach to tackling difficult subject matter. Through Lucia’s junior year and into the pandemic lockdown Summer, Nick met Lucia at first in person and then virtually via Zoom meetings. He coaxed her into talking about her favorite and least favorite subjects, her strengths and weaknesses, clubs, weekend activities etc. He pinpointed areas of improvement and introduced test taking strategies. Lucia took copious notes and would review them before taking practice tests. The final result? A score greater than 200 points above her PSAT. We are ecstatic at the results they achieved together. We feel Lucia’s confidence has strengthened and college prospects have widened. Now Nick with his invaluable insider knowledge is helping Lucia edit her Common Ap essay as well as the many supplemental essays reguired by many colleges. We highly recommend Nick and can’t say enough good things about the service he offers. Thank goodness there are capable people like Nick that help young people through this process. He is well worth the investment!
