Student Testimonial: Olivia (Class of 2022)
The college application process can be daunting.
For Olivia, a current junior at Villanova University, the experience was no different.
However, she credits her success and peace of mind throughout the process to one key resource: our college consulting program.
Let's break down Olivia’s experience and explore how our personalized approach to college consulting helped her stay organized, reduce stress, and ultimately find the right fit for her higher education journey.
The Challenge: Starting the College Journey
Like many high school students, Olivia found herself overwhelmed as she entered her junior year. As the oldest in her family, she had little prior experience with the college admissions process and wasn't sure where to begin. On top of that, the COVID-19 pandemic made it even harder to explore potential schools in person, leaving her feeling disconnected and unsure.
OUR Personalized Approach
What sets our program apart is the level of personalization and support we offer. Olivia was guided through every step of the application process - from researching potential schools to selecting reach, target, and safety schools. This personalized approach helped her make confident, informed decisions.
Building Confidence Through Organization
One of the biggest challenges for students, including Olivia, when navigating college applications is staying organized. With multiple essays, forms, and deadlines to manage, it can easily feel overwhelming. Our program provided Olivia with a clear roadmap, helping her stay on track and manage the various tasks.
Writing the Perfect College Essay
Another area where Olivia found our guidance invaluable was in the college essay writing process. Our online modules helped her understand the mechanics of a great essay - what makes a good topic, how to structure an essay, and how to convey her personal story in a way that would resonate with admissions committees.
The Result: Villanova University!!!!
Olivia’s hard work, paired with the support and guidance she received from our program, paid off. Today, she is thriving as a junior at Villanova University, where she’s studying communications and psychology. Looking back on her college admissions experience, she couldn’t be more grateful for the support she received!

P.S. - Have a high-performing high schooler (like Olivia) w/ a 3.7 GPA or higher? We'll help get them into at least one of their top 5 dream colleges...and if we don't get them into at least one of their top 5 dream colleges, you don't pay us a penny. Seriously. College admissions isn't rocket science...but it is a science. And we've cracked the code...year, after year, after year. You can learn more about our world renowned all-inclusive, start-to-finish college coaching here and to see if your family qualifies for an introductory call.
P.P.S - Our most common question is "When should we start?!" The answer is, if you truly care about giving your high schooler the best chance of college planning success, you should start NOW. 9th grade is not too early to start! 10th grade is certainly not too early to start! And 11th grade is far, far too late! (supporting data here to show just how much of an advantage you give your child by starting the process early).
