““…One of the things we loved about your file was your essays. You wrote spectacular pieces that captured your compelling voice as a human being and promising young intellectual. Your words helped to set you apart in our massive pool of qualified applicants. In short, your essays were among the best we read this year.””
“Thank you so much for all your help with everything from the essays to all my own personal worries about college admissions. You made the entire process much easier for me... I have found my place at NYU both socially and academically and I don’t think there is anywhere more perfect for me.”
“Thank you for helping me make my dream come true!!! If you ever need any sort of recommendation please let me know! I would be more than happy to let other students know how amazingly helpful you are in making the college process a little less stressful.”
“Obviously it goes without saying how thankful I was that you were able to help me through this process because I would be lost without you.”
“Honest, reliable, and straight to the point. Alexandra Rhodes knows the college process in and out and I could not have asked for any more. Thank you not only for offering me advice that altered my entire perspective of how to write a successful college essay, but also for serving as a mentor throughout my high school experience. I am truly indebted for all you have done for me!”
“So, I hear Northern California is wonderful. There is a little school called Berkeley up in the suburbs of San Francisco. You know, the top public school in the country? Well, it turns out they want me. TO SAY I AM EXCITED IS THE UNDERSTATEMENT OF THE YEAR. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!”
“With UCLA sending out their decisions today, I’ve been thinking about this time last year. Thank you so much for everything you did for me. I would not be here if it were not for your help! ”

“YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! I RECEIVED THE TRUSTEE SCHOLARSHIP (FULL TUITION, ROOM & BOARD). Thank you so much for everything! I don’t know what to think right now everything has been incredible!!!!!!!!!”
“Stanford is AMAZING!!! It is better than I could have ever imagined. The people, the weather, the classes, everything - I love it! ... None of this could have been possible without you.”
“I sing your praises to everyone I talk to — I honestly feel people in your position are the last bastion of sanity in the insane (and scary) world of sending your precious child off to college. In addition to sage advice for families, it is great to have someone your child can talk to who is a responsible adult, yet “cool” and trusted enough to get through to them!”
“Thank you again for all your help, guidance and support in making our daughter’s dream of attending Pomona come true. Having our daughter stay close and still have a challenging and rewarding college experience is so important to her and our family. We are so grateful for your help.”
“Our son is completely thrilled with his Stanford outcome! Wow! Tremendous thanks for all you’ve done to guide, encourage, cajole and generally just keep him moving to the finish line. My husband and I also really appreciate your partnership at key moments along the way. Your wisdom and experience were on full display through our son’s process, and we are truly grateful. ”
“I think the day we met you was one of the best choices I have made….this college process has been a joy…not the nightmare so many people talk about. I so appreciate all you have done for [my son]; he feels very confident about this whole college process largely because of your input!”
“Thank you for a decade of awesomeness, [working with all 3 of our kids]. We love and appreciate you! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”
“We just wanted to send a note to thank you for all your help in this crazy college application process. Our son is thrilled with Tulane and is so excited to attend. Your calm and consistent guidance was invaluable.”
“You were an absolute inspiration to [my son] in his essay-writing process. You brought out his creativity and he absolutely adored you. All parents have to do is MEET you to know how wonderful you are. No wonder he got in to his early decision [Ivy League] school. Any family would be CRAZY not to hire you.”
“[Our daughter] just came by the house. Her smile, clear eyes, and renewed zest for life tells it all. She is hopeful, excited, and realistic—a winning combination. They say “it takes a village”. Please know that you came into our daughter’s life at such a vulnerable and pivotal time. You helped guide her toward a path she could not have taken without your support, genuine caring, calm reassurance, and knowledge. I know you did not take that responsibility lightly.”
“Truly, getting the application filed last night was so emotional for both of us because she has worked so hard to get to this point, and due to your input, attention and expertise, Juliet was able to press that button knowing she is well-positioned and a real contender. And, to be completely honest, those essays made me cry. There is no way I could be more proud of her. We are so grateful for your assistance. Thank you!”
“We wanted to tell you how thrilled we are with [our son’s] college acceptances. We never imagined he’d get into one of his “reaches.” He has some great choices and we know you contributed much to that success. Thank you for guiding us along way, helping him and making the emotional roller coaster that is College Admissions a lot smoother. ”
“We received the letter this afternoon – [our son] was accepted! We are all so thrilled. Thank you; Thank you; Thank you! Please save room for [our daughter]... Our son could not have done this without your advice and support.”
“Thank you for doing such a great job prepping him for his interview. He was really nervous before he went but it sounds like it went well. The admissions person said he was a “good storyteller!” We know that wasn’t the case before his session with you”
“Don’t you just love seeing the results of your hard work? Boy, you certainly called these all correctly. So, he’s 7 for 9. I also wanted to let you know how highly I think of you. I was putting away some things in his college accordion folder and found his many drafts of the essay he wrote. Your comments were terrific…which I absolutely LOVED! I have to say that I attribute his incredible success in getting into colleges to you. I’ve told everyone that will listen…I can’t tell you how invaluable you have been in this. Your part was unbelievably wonderful, and we can’t thank you enough.”
“[Our son] received a letter from [his dream school] today! Yes! Yes! Yes! He was accepted Early Decision! We can’t express our appreciation for all that you’ve done in helping [him] attain his goal of attending a reach school where he can play baseball at the next level.”
“It was a dream working with you. In no particular order, you are extremely knowledgeable, organized, efficient, realistic, professional, available, upbeat, and positive-thinking. You are the perfect cheerleader and the perfect bridge between generations. You turned a potentially painstaking process into a fun and do-able task with excellent results. I loved your approach and your execution. I know your phone already rings off the hook, but after my referrals, you’ll never have a life! Thanks so much for guiding us so pleasantly though the college process.”
“Just want to thank you so much for all of your help and support with [our daughter]. I feel like you found the perfect balance with her in keeping her realistic but never causing her to stray from her dreams. We are beyond thrilled and truly do owe a large part of her success in this process to you. I wish you could have been there to see her reaction when she opened the Early Action acceptance letter to Georgetown. It truly was priceless.”
Here is a partial list of our college acceptances.
