Testimonials for Application Boot Camp™

“Aloha Mimi and Michele,
I’m so sorry, I thought B had emailed you folks….. but I can also report that she received ED acceptance to George Washington University. She was (we were) incredibly happy and, of course, she is thrilled that she can go skiing during winter break with no stress.
Mahalo for your help in getting B there! ABC was instrumental to B’s college application process.
Hope you both have wonderful holidays.”

“We are not an Ivy League legacy family. So, when my oldest daughter declared as a high school junior that she wanted to attend Brown University, her objective seemed daunting and almost unattainable. At the outset, the process struck us as a form of byzantine labyrinth, overflowing with hazards for the inexperienced, unwary and uninformed. Our good fortune came in the form of a referral from a friend to Michele and Mimi and their Application Boot Camp. Through the ABC program, Michele, Mimi and their team literally lifted the veil of mystery that shrouded the application process, providing us with a sense of clarity, insight and structured purpose that can be gained only through genuine experience, for which they are unmatched. They provided our daughter with spot-on, personalized advice on how and why to select a college, and how to best present herself so she would stand out among highly-qualified applicants and maximize her chances for acceptance. In the course of the program, our daughter also gained the self-assurance she needed to be bold in her presentations and allow her unique personality and accomplishments shine through to best effect. As a parent, I was comforted knowing that through the ABC I had given my daughter the kind of practical insight and resources she could use to achieve her dream, tools I simply could not have given her on my own. The result – she was accepted Early Decision to the Brown class of 2014. I believe that our decision to work with Michele and Mimi transformed the entire application experience for our family. Without their guidance and counsel, the process undoubtedly would have been far more difficult and stressful, and perhaps also less successful for my daughter. In retrospect, I cannot imagine even trying to run the application gauntlet without them.”

“Michele & Mimi,
Your tips for my son helped him a great deal. Thank you! We will contact you in a few years for our daughter (Harvard aspirant).
Josh – we thought the essays were awesome – couldn’t believe how nicely they shaped towards the end and really read like Ivy material.
Thanks,”

“Michele and Mimi,

I appreciate all of your help!
Best Regards,”

“Dear Mimi,
We are very happy to share the good news that Northwestern University has admitted our daughter to its Class of 2014. Your advice and recommendations for her “Early Decision” strategy were exactly correct … and your prediction that she was “a virtual lock” turned-out to be 100% correct.
Our heartfelt thanks to you, Michele, Liz and everyone at ABC who helped our family throughout 2009.”

“Boot Camp was indispensable to me in so many ways. It helped me stay organized and focus on what was important, and the advice I received was right on target. Above all, it let me be myself. I had always considered the Ivy League out of my ‘league’, but Boot Camp gave me the confidence that I needed to be bold in my essays, say what I needed to say, and let myself shine through in my application… and that bombastic “myself” was admitted to Brown, my #1 choice, in the Early Decision round! Thank you, ABC!”

“Hello Mimi and Michele,
Thank you for helping to navigate our son’s college application process! The guidance and clarity you provided at the Application Boot Camp made the whole process so much easier. Our son is so excited to have been admitted to such top colleges as Amherst, Brown, Washington University in St. Louis, Pomona, Claremont McKenna, Haverford, Oberlin, and Macalester. Thanks also for your continued support and advice as he makes his final decision on which school to attend. We couldn’t have done it without you.”

“Just wanted to thank you, Tom completed his first year at Georgetown. He had a good experience academically. He actually got all A’s. We often talk about your Boot Camp. It obviously had a lot to do with his success. Thanks for everything!”
— Father of Georgetown Freshman

“Hi Mimi, Kaley was accepted to every school she applied to, and is going to have a very hard time deciding where to go! Dartmouth, Cornell, Duke, Wash. U in St. Louis, Wesleyan U, Tufts, Georgetown, U of VA (Echols Scholar), BU (Trustee Scholar), American, and U of VT.

Many thanks to you and Michele for helping Kaley achieve what she didn’t think was possible in this unbelievably unpredictable college admissions process.

“It was a pleasure to meet you and thank you both so much for all the the help. It was great for J and of course for us, as the camp really did what it promised- it got us a jump start on everything, and took a lot of the fear out of the process. I know that beforehand I feared that he was not going to be up to the same level as the others at the camp, but the camp gave him confidence both academically and socially that he would be fine wherever he ends up. You can imagine his joy when his early results were U Penn and he will end up exactly where he wanted.

Thank you is simply not enough.”

“Thank you so much for taking me step by step through my stressful college application process. You have taken away a ton of my stress and provided me with valuable advice. Under your guidance, I was able to create an application package that perfectly reflects who I am. I cannot express how relieved, overjoyed, and honored I am to be accepted into the Class of 2011 at Amherst College.”

“I know that my mother has shared the college news with you two already (she’s told everyone she knows and a few she doesn’t), but I wanted to send an email to thank you myself for everything. I couldn’t have accomplished so much without your help and the direction you’ve given me. The statistics this year were absurd, but I am 1 of the 7% who made it into Harvard because of you! Again, thanks…from the bottom of my heart!
— A.W. (Harvard)
