I thought the live “Create Winning Applications” teleseminar was excellent and I was impressed with both Mimi and Michele. It was evident very early in the evening that you really know your subject and I thought you were extremely well spoken. The best thing was how motivated it made my son. After hearing you two he kicked into gear. And, now he knows just what to do. I can’t thank you enough.”
— D.K., Parent
“A thousand thanks for the invaluable guidance that you guys gave us and our son in the process of applying to college. Since our first conversation with you my husband and I felt that you two were right to guide our son through the process. I’m convinced that the strategy you gave us provided the winning formula to acceptance at the college of his choice. We’re in great debt to you forever and many thanks for making dreams come true!”
— Yvonne K, (son Yale)
Dear highly skilled college admission professionals, Next time Newsweek calls I will gladly give a glowing testimonial. Obviously your program works; I was accepted to all the schools I applied to. I’m going to Georgetown in the fall – a dream come true. In all seriousness, thank you guys for everything! I couldn’t have done it without you. I am forever grateful.”
— L.Z. (Georgetown)
“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!”
