Student Quotes

“Thank you for all the hard work you put in to helping me through the college process.

I felt completely prepared for every phase of the process (especially the interview), and I can only attribute that to your coaching and guidance.”

Parent Quotes

Laurel, parent of University of Puget Sound student:
“I am extremely grateful for the help you gave us through this application process.  My son does not like getting direction from his parents so having you to talk to and then provide guidance was invaluable to him and us.  We've benefited from your knowledge and expertise in matching his personality and qualifications to the colleges best suited for him.  We never could have done it nearly as well ourselves, and we absolutely intend to hire you to provide the same guidance to our younger son.  You made a confusing, arduous, tension-creating process a million times simpler and easier.  My son liked you from the beginning because you were calm and clear with him and he knew he could trust what you told him.  I can't thank you enough.”

Edye, parent of Maryland Institute College of Art student:
“Working with Educational Advocates was an enormous help for both our daughter and ourselves in this very challenging process. You gave our daughter's college selection process the kind of personal attention that is not available in our school system. Educational Advocates was incredibly supportive for both ourselves and our daughter. You provided our daughter with a comprehensive plan, beginning with skills for how to think about selecting a college, how to look at the web sites, how to keep track of her opinions about each school, to how to interview and how to complete and stay on track with all the facets of the application process.  Educational Advocates was always available for our questions and our daughter's questions and would keep on top of our daughter's application progress (or lack thereof) in ways that were helpful and effective.  Our daughter applied to traditional colleges as well as art schools, and you were very helpful in assessing these very different options. In the end, our daughter was admitted to all but one of the schools she applied to, and is extremely happy with her chosen college. We absolutely could not have done this without Educational Advocates' help. We enthusiastically recommend your services.”
