We were pretty lost in the college process, and we would not have even considered Lehigh without your introduction. Thank you for supporting him and driving him to those deadlines. We could not be happier and we truly have you to thank for it. Lehigh would not have been on our radar but it is perfect for T and it is right on the edge of where he could realistically get into. Just a perfect and amazing result. Thank you!"

"I was very confused and overwhelmed by the sheer amount of things I had to do and decide. I had no idea where to even start or what actually mattered in the college process. You simplified everything and streamlined the process so much. You provided so many useful resources to make the entire process go smoothly. You edited my essays without changing my voice, helped me narrow in on the strongest parts of my application, and made sure that I got everything done on time! It made my entire senior year less stressful and gave me more time to relax and enjoy myself!”

"I just wanted to thank you for all the support I received from you throughout the entire college process. What was supposed to be a grueling and brutal process turned into something that seemed incredibly simple and even enjoyable thanks to your guidance. Above anything else, you were incredibly friendly and approachable throughout the process. When my parents introduced me to this process, I was nervous, but you were able to make me feel comfortable from our very first meeting. I think an underrated aspect of the college search process is that you find yourself in a way as you tour and write essays. I believe this is something you helped me with every time we met. You would inspire me to reflect on myself, which in turn helped me grow. I will forever be grateful for that opportunity."
