Today I got another acceptance letter! I've been accepted at Sarah Lawrence College! I wasn't expecting to hear from them until April! I am very excited!
Thank you again for all of your help! ……..So everything has turned out wonderfully - better than I had hoped! Thank you again for all of your help! I would have been completely lost in the entire application process without you! Thank you! (Student admitted to first choice, Sarah Lawrence, going for theater & history – Maine)

Thanks so much!! You will never know how much your advice and guidance
mattered during our darkest moments. I can't even begin to describe the
excitement around here tonight. Between the flowers and the singing
balloons and a child that has not laughed out loud in way too long, it's
just the best feeling in the world. I'm not sure we would have gotten through it all without your calm, reassuring (been there ) approach. (Parent of Theater applicant after acceptance to BFA program to NYU/Tisch where she enrolled, Atlanta)

I have to say that not only has my daughter received great college counseling but her writing has improved dramatically since beginning this process with you. What a great added bonus!! Thanks.

(after acceptance): We are extremely excited and relieved!!!  It feels like a big weight has been lifted--one I didn't even realize I had.  Thank you for all your help with everything.  We will continue to be in touch--especially since I have 2 more coming up the ranks who are probably interested in the same things.  Please give me any info I need to contact you in the future.  (Parent of student accepted to NYU/Tisch’s BFA Drama - New York)

I just wanted to drop you a note to thank you for all of the time and effort you spent with my daughter on her college applications. We surely could not have done it without you! Actually, it was you who pushed us to look at Marymount Manhattan! My daughter and I are both so excited about their program. I am thrilled that it is a BA program and therefore she will have to take liberal arts classes and I also love the fact that she will be getting professional dance training. We have not heard from any other school as of today. However, I have sent the deposit into Marymount because she has decided that she really wants to go there……. Anyway, you were really a god-send to us! …Thank you again. (Parent of Musical Theater student – Pennsylvania)

You certainly were a part of getting my daughter to where she is, and thank you so much. I think Bucknell is a perfect match for her, so far, lots of good conversations about what's been going on. She seems very happy. (Parent of Bucknell student soon after she matriculated - Virginia)

I want to really thank you for the encouragement you have given our daughter so far, and all of the great suggestions…. 

I can definitely see what a difference an application that is as comprehensive as what you have showed our daughter how to do will make from what the "typical" applicant sends in.  And the history teacher was VERY impressed with the information he was given- it clearly was something he had never encountered before.  He did say that it helped him to write the rec…. 

Our daughter was accepted to Elon's BFA Acting program!  I'm so proud of her!!!

You have been a huge factor in both her acceptance to Chapman, and her selection as a Dean's Scholar.  We can't thank you enough! (Parent of theater applicant – Chicago)

We very much appreciate the extensive review of our daughter's credentials that you've done and the timeline….

Thank you Susan for being so thoughtful with our daughter and always so prompt. You are really great….

 Thank you again so much for your continuing support and prompt responses….

Thank you so much for all you are doing for our daughter. WE are very impressed with your thoroughness and responsiveness. I look forward to reading your e-mails, particularly when I can see what our daughter has e-mailed to you. We are very pleased with how the process is going. (Parents of junior Musical Theater applicant - Maryland)

Susan,
Your report is terrific!  It is extremely helpful in figuring out the range of schools that my daughter fits into for reach, match and safety.  I've put together a list of about 15 schools (3 reach, about 7 match to reach/match and 5 safety/match) from the schools in your report.  You've definitely turned us on to a few we hadn't thought about and helped confirm that some we were thinking about really don't fit her at all……She said to me this afternoon, that after reading your report, she is very motivated to try and get all A's this year to get her grades up.  She said she agreed with you that colleges want to see an upward trend……Again, thank you for a great job!
