Testimonials
We can’t thank Michelle enough for all the help she has given our daughter for the past year and a half! Michelle made this process not only bearable, but enjoyable. Our daughter always looked forward to coming in and working with Michelle—she helped her stay grounded and productive. Michelle went above and beyond, reading our daughter’s essays whenever necessary and always responding to emails with lightning speed! Our daughter is incredibly proud of the work she has done, and grateful for all the help Michelle gave her at every step along the way!

Thank you for all the guidance you have given me through the college selection process. With your help, I settled on a list of awesome schools to apply to and was accepted to plenty of them. I am heading off to Washington University in the fall and couldn’t have done it without you.
