The decision to attend college is an exciting one. Finding the right fit and navigating the competitive, changing landscape of college admissions are serious undertakings, especially in the wake of the pandemic, Supreme Court rulings, and generative AI. Requirements vary tremendously across schools. Application elements and platforms are in constant flux.

"Jill is a master essay coach and editor. Her expertise and years of experience are evident. Not only does she have a deep understanding of what individual colleges are looking for, she adeptly pulled out and refined compelling subject matter from my son, allowing him to express a unique voice when he thought he didn’t have one. I will be using Jill’s services for the rest of my children."                                                                                                                                                                                -J.S.

"Jill has been an invaluable resource and partner in our college preparation process. She has helped us navigate the day-to-day tasks while keeping an eye on our longer-term objectives and timeline. Most importantly, Jill understands that regardless of statistics and test scores, what really matters is that indescribable “fit” for the prospective college student. She has been our in-house researcher, our voice of reason and reality, our safety net, and my daughter’s biggest supporter. We are so glad we didn’t have to tackle this once-in-a-lifetime endeavor alone!"                                                                                                       -D.P.

​"Jill is a trusted advisor with proven results. Her knowledge, skills, patience, and dedication have been my family's strongest tools during the difficult process of college planning.  She has helped us to look at colleges for our son not just as ‘where can he get in’ but more importantly as ‘what is the right school'- identifying where he can academically and socially succeed. Additionally, Jill has been a great resource for our son, interacting with him through all steps of the process. Working with Jill has been like having a college expert live in my house!!"                                                                                                                                           -K.S.
