"Thank you guys so much for all of your help it would have been so stressful without all of your guidance 💓"
“Thank you Jackie and Ron - you both have been absolutely critical in this journey guiding and advising our daughter! We remain eternally grateful to you both!"
“Thank you!! Jackie thank you for helping me as if I was one of your own ☺️”
"Today, it seems that almost all college applicants have stellar grades in rigorous courses, are varsity captains, and have completed hundreds of hours of community service. From my daughter’s initial meeting with Ron and Jackie, she was able to focus in on what made her unique and what she wanted to highlight in her applications.
Jackie used brainstorming sessions to extract valuable facets of my daughter’s personality and experiences, things that my child later used to craft creative and memorable essays through which her voice could be clearly heard.
Ron and Jackie thoughtfully guided us through the application process, making sure that my daughter used the summer effectively so that she could face her heavy course load and extracurricular schedule without undue stress during application season. Fifteen supplemental essays would not have been completed and perfected by November 1st if they had not created a realistic framework.
As a mother, I was able to step back and provide the emotional support while Ron and Jackie structured the workload. Even with a highly-motivated child, their gentle nudging toward deadlines provided a much-needed buffer at home and was worth every penny!
They were honest and realistic in their feedback about the competitive admissions process but sprinkled their advice with enough hope and optimism that my child was encouraged to aim high and ultimately get accepted to her dream university. We are so grateful that we found Ron and Jackie! Thank you!"
“Dear Ron and Jackie,
Thank you so much for all your help throughout my college application process. I always felt supported by you both, and I feel so honored to have had the opportunity to work with you.
You both made me feel seen and important, and I truly appreciate you coming to help with my community service project especially because the event was not close to where you live.
Thank you for believing in me. I could not have done this without you. I feel so fortunate to have learned from you and am so grateful to have you both in the my life.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for everything.”
"Dear Ron and Jackie,
We want to extend our gratitude and appreciation for the outstanding experience you provided for us and our two daughters during the college application process. We never thought that we would use 'outstanding experience' and 'college application process' in the same sentence. Ever. Our only regret is that we had not yet met when our oldest daughter was applying to colleges. Needless to say both of our daughters are beyond thrilled to have been admitted to their first choice colleges.
Your knowledge of and guidance through the process was impeccable especially during the unpredictable time of Covid. We feel that the emphasis and direction you provided our girls with regard to community service was critical and your application strategy equally expert.
We always felt your complete support and attention throughout the entire process, as if we were your only client. You were always calm and thorough which provided us comfort during a stressful time and your detailed and methodical approach gave us confidence that no deadlines would be overlooked and nothing would fall through the cracks. You were always true to our girls... listening to what they wanted and being supportive while always being honest and realistic with them about the choices they had to make.
We (and our daughters) would recommend you both unconditionally to anyone with a child embarking on the college application odyssey. It was truly a pleasure working with you both!"
"Thank you so much! We are so incredibly overwhelmed with excitement and truly looking forward to a wonderful and bright future for our son.
We appreciate all the fabulous guidance helping him get into his first choice school. It turns out he’s the first student from his high school to be admitted to the school in the past 10 years! Our son’s hard work certainly paid off and needless to say it’s a great time of year to be celebrating!!"
"My son was accepted into all of the colleges he applied to, including his early decision school.
This couldn’t have happened without your help. You really helped guide and focus my son through this entire process. You were tremendous counsel."
"Huge thank you to you both, Jackie and Ron, for all your help and support! I could go on forever about how wonderful having your help has been. If we had questions, we had someone to ask that gave us info that applied specifically to our child.
It was great to let someone else take over the nagging. And best of all you guys took a task that felt overwhelming and broke it into do-able tasks with clear info on what to do next, and next, and so on. I really appreciate you guys. We're super excited for the options that our son has. We couldn’t have done it without you!"
