"​The college application process can be very overwhelming for students.  I cannot tell you how helpful Maggie was in working with our daughter on her college essays. She was instrumental in helping our daughter narrow down her thoughts, and apply her merits and accolades in a way that best shows colleges what they are looking for. Maggie was able to gently redirect some of my daughter’s thoughts without offending or overwhelming her. As a parent, it is really hard to critique an essay that your child has worked hard on and is very passionate about. Maggie was amazing at gently dropping the hints when essays needed to be completely re-drafted. She got our daughter thinking about ways to truly make herself stand out. My daughter was open to ideas when they came from Maggie. She has a way of connecting with kids and is very approachable. I am happy to say that our daughter was very successful in her college acceptances.  We are thrilled for her and we are grateful to Maggie for her professional support and encouragement!"

"We hired Maggie to guide our daughter through the college admissions process, a task that seemed incredibly daunting to us initially. Working with her has made everything so much less stressful. She had a long initial meeting with our daughter and used various personality assessment tools to narrow in on what type of school would be the best fit for her. Since then, she has kept our daughter on task, sending reminders of what needs to be completed by what date. It has helped me a lot, since normally I would be the one doing this. Maggie is much less focused on pushing the idea of getting into some elite, prestigious school, and rather on finding the school where your child can thrive. This is really important to us, and I feel comfortable with all the schools that my daughter ended up narrowing the search down to."
