We just cannot truly thank you enough for all your assistance! Best money ever spent as I am hearing about the battles/stress ensuring between friends + friend’s kids trying to either get the ball rolling on college stuff or keep it rolling! Having you guide our son allowed us to step back and just be the “fun” component of the college looking + applying process. We are SO grateful for that!!!! You are the BEST!!!!! -Parent of a 2024 student
Thank you so much, Beth. Such wise and helpful thoughts. One of the best decisions we made is having you lead our kids (and us!) through this college search journey. Very grateful. We know they are ready and are going to knock it out of the park. :-) Parent of 2022 and 2023 graduates enrolled at Purdue and Marquette Universities.
"You made me believe in my writing and taught me how to write something that mattered. I may hold the record for most tears shed in your office chair, but I’m really glad you were on the other side of the desk making me tea or handing me a tissue. I still know college won’t be easy at first, but you showed me that I am capable of being successful and that I can thrive." Student, Class of 2022
"Any high school student planning on attending college and wanting to stand out as an applicant must go to Beth. It is a no-brainer! When I arrived at my first appointment with Beth, I was unsure of just about everything pertaining to college – what region I wanted to be in, what major I wanted to pursue, what size school I wanted to attend etc. Through her expertise, Beth helped me discover these things in an exciting way and made me feel authentic and competitive as an applicant. I applied to over six schools, and I cannot imagine having had to keep track of the many deadlines and essay requirements without her. I am writing this as a recent graduate from the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University with a degree in Finance and Digital Technology Management. I will be starting my career this July as a Mergers and Acquisitions Analyst at Deloitte in Chicago. Ultimately, Beth helped me find my dream school and influenced my writing, my character, and my future in immeasurable ways. I truly cannot recommend her enough!" Student, Class of 2018
