Testimonials

“Marie was my counselor throughout all of high school, and I could not recommend her more for anyone looking to get fully prepared for college. I never felt behind with my college admissions because of her help! She is exactly what anybody would need in an advisor. She is the sweetest person and I always felt comfortable reaching out to her for assistance. She was patient, super insightful, and always readily available for any questions or concerns I had at any stage of the college application process. She was always responsive and pushed me, so that I never missed any deadlines. I knew a good chunk of my peers that also had Marie as their counselor and felt the exact same way. I can confidently say that Marie is the main reason why my college application process was seamless. She will help ease any anxiety you have regarding your higher education! You’d be doing yourself a huge favor by seeking out her services!"

"Utilizing Marie’s experience and knowledge when applying to colleges was incredibly beneficial. Marie started working with my son during his sophomore year in high school. She took the time to speak with us, clearly outlining the process and what needed to be accomplished each year.

Marie developed a rapport with my son getting to know his academic and co-curricular interests, career aspirations, as well as the university he dreamed of attending since he was 3-years old. With Marie’s guidance, she helped direct my son while filling out college and scholarship applications, reviewing and providing honest feedback on his essays, as well as informing us of the standardized tests. She helped keep us organized and meet critical deadlines.

Marie successfully guided our family through this complicated college application and portfolio process. My son attended his dream college: School of Architecture at the University of Notre Dame."
