What people are saying.

  • "My wife and I are so grateful for Steph’s services. Our two boys both had the luxury of picking their school of choice after working with her. We are ecstatic to have one at the University of Vermont and the other is at UVA. So many families could benefit from working with her. I can’t say enough about how her help eased our family dynamics. Steph managed their timelines and honestly, we barely had to be involved. Steph made sure everything was done well and on time. You can’t put a price on that."

  • "I worked with Steph for several months during the fall of my senior year. I had several essays to write – the Common App essay and eight supplemental ones for specific schools. She helped me brainstorm ideas for each one and gave great feedback on every draft. She got back to me quickly with her edits. She really helped improve my writing, not just for my college applications, but forever."

  • "With three kids in high school at the same time, my husband and I knew we’d need help managing their college application journeys. We were lucky enough to find Steph. She did a masterful job of keeping the kids engaged and on track. She is excellent at making sure the kids’ essays are their own, in their own voice, but grammatically perfect and that they truly give insight. As parents, we know our children so well that it’s hard to be objective. Steph did everything we hoped she’d do and more. Our kids ended up going to UC – Santa Cruz, Boston University, and American University."

  • "Steph was my college consultant. It was such a relief to have someone (not my parents!) who was looking after me. Honestly, my school counselor was too busy and overwhelmed. Steph was supportive of my essay ideas, gave me some good suggestions, and helped make my essays the best they could be. She was also instrumental in suggesting colleges that I should consider. Without her input, I don’t think I would have ended up where I did (Boston University)."

  • "Steph is incredible. She helped both of our daughters with the whole shebang – schools to apply to, completing the Common App, the essays… all of it. And she did it without us losing our minds. My husband and I did not go to college in the U.S., so the process was foreign to us. She made it as easy as it could probably be. She actually goes beyond college counseling: she really got to know our daughters and made them feel confident and capable. I tell everyone I know about Steph."
