“Lisa, I want to thank you for your thoughtful guidance you gave my son during the college application essay writing process. You helped him find his voice and the confidence to express it authentically—something that made all the difference. He loved working with you and I could see significant growth in his writing ability.”
“I’ve been communicating with Lynda regarding the steps we need to take for the type of schools he wants to apply to as we inch closer to the time. Her knowledge has been extremely helpful and made us realize we needed to start looking now while he’s a junior. She has also put steps on our radar that I wouldn’t have known about or considered that will help him stand out and put him in the running for scholarships.”
“Lynda is fabulous! She helped my daughter with her Common App writing at the very last minute! Lynda helped to edit her activity list in no time. She is responsive and efficient with her time. Excellent college counselor! Highly recommend!”
“Lisa’s expertise and encouraging approach made all the difference in my daughter’s college application process. She guided her in crafting a cohesive narrative that highlighted her intellectual curiosity and interdisciplinary mindset. The results speak for themselves; she was admitted to several selective universities and is now thriving at the University of Chicago.”
