“Susan was the best thing to happen to my daughter. Her ready smile and brilliant expertise on which universities to consider, how to interview, and even who was the best ACT/SAT tutor for my daughter’s study style were invaluable. Her complete availability to our entire family during this process was gratifying.”

“Susan’s knowledge of matching colleges to my goals was remarkable. Although we communicated primarily through Skype, I felt as if I had her by my side throughout the entire application process— especially while writing essays! When my SAT/ACT scores were not as high as I had hoped they would be, Susan suggested that I apply test-optional. The thought of applying without submitting test scores terrified me, however, Susan gave me the courage to do so.”

“There is nothing more stressful than staring at a blinking cursor on a blank white page. Susan was a HUGE help with my essays AND choosing a school that fit me. Without Susan first mentioning Rhodes, I never would have found my dream school.”

Rhodes College – Class of 2018

“I was so impressed by the nature of Susan’s essay feedback. If it had been me commenting on the first draft, I would have given some heavy-handed comments. Susan’s comments, instead, asked pertinent questions and artfully suggested some alternative directions. I was just so astounded at the subtlety of Susan’s approach. All I can say is, Wow.”

Parent – Rhodes – Class of 2018

“I was applying to highly selective colleges and knew my applications needed a new set of eyes. My essays were not where they needed to be, and I was stuck. Susan made time for me even though she had a busy schedule. She was approachable and strategic in her advice. Her essay advice and draft push-backs were exactly the kick I needed.”
