What students say

Working with Deb was one of the best decisions my family made during my college application process. She helped me dig deep and uncover the values I wanted to share. She helped me communicate it through a personal story that truly resonated. Her guidance was key in showcasing my unique perspective, and I have no doubt that it made a difference in getting me into my dream school.

A few weeks had passed since college notifications were released, and I was anxiously waiting to hear from my top-choice school. However, no decision had arrived. When Deb, a family friend, heard about my situation, she immediately took action. After a thorough investigation, she discovered that my application had been marked incomplete and hadn’t been fully reviewed. Drawing on her extensive expertise, Deb quickly guided my family through the steps needed to resolve the issue. Thanks to her timely intervention and deep knowledge of the admissions process, my application was reconsidered, and I was ultimately admitted to my dream school. I’m now pursuing my acting career and recently played a supporting role in a Netflix Feature Film. I couldn’t have done it without her.

Deb helped me realize my potential. She told me I had an excellent chance at getting into top schools based upon my academic record and activities. She helped me expand my college list. When the acceptances came, I had options at top schools from New York to California. Fast forward to the future —I am now a vice president at a leading U.S. bank. She led the way in helping me find a great university, which prepared me for the working world.

I couldn’t have succeeded in the college application process without Deb’s guidance. She encouraged me to express my identity in my writing, which is exactly what college admissions officers are looking for.

What parents say

When college applications deadlines were on the horizon, my son pulled back and told me he didn’t want to go to school. Deb helped him understand that he had the academic ability and talent to move forward. She helped him identify his skills to match him to the right programs. He was subsequently accepted into several competitive business programs. Our entire family was thrilled with the outcome. In addition, because of his interest in audio production, she helped us find schools with both programs in the event his interests drew him more to his creative side. By the end of the process, my son understood why his application stood out amongst others, and that he was in a great situation to grow in his new academic home.

Deb took so much stress out of the college application process for me and my son! She helped us create a well-balanced list of the best undergraduate business programs and made sure he was on track to meet all of the application deadlines. No nagging from mom! Plus, Deb expertly guided him through the process of writing and revising to highlight who he truly is...beyond his accomplishments. My son and I were both extremely grateful for her support and thrilled with all of the acceptances! There was one time in the process I followed my own advice. In retrospect, I wish I had taken Deb’s advice. Trust Deb in the process. You will be forever grateful.
