Testimonials “I could tell that Ellen did the research to find schools that were notable in my major, and if there were schools on the list that didn’t connect with me, Ellen had plenty of others at the ready. In retrospect, I’m glad Ellen chose schools for me that were very specific to my personality, because she was cognizant of the type of environment that would be most beneficial to me personally.” – Connecticut College student (Carlmont High School graduate) — “Having Ellen know all of the steps required to identify, select, apply, and decide on a college. I had no idea how complex it is, how early you need to start, and the subjectivity in college applications involved. And focusing on the messaging of ‘matching’ vs. just going after a name brand school helped calibrate me as a parent. I also appreciated the honesty (‘this school should be no problem,’ ‘this school is unlikely,’ ‘this school may not be a good match,’ etc).” – Parent of a high school graduate — “It is extremely hard to find schools that you like and at the same time, would be a good fit… Every school she presented to me was amazing. They all fit my major and had activities and extracurriculars that I liked. She actually introduced me to my dream school, Northeastern, where I will be going to college.” – Northeastern University student (Archbishop High School graduate) — “Ellen did a great job at catering to the types of schools I was interested in. We did many activities that helped me learn what I wanted for my own future, and she was able to help me learn about schools that would allow me to pursue my interest.” – UC Davis student (Aragon High School graduate) — “The colleges Ellen researched and added to my list were amazing and a perfect fit for me!” – Student of Howard University honors program — “The other day I was thinking about my decision to come to Mount Holyoke, and I thought of you! I love it here, and I am so glad you helped me get here. The professors are so passionate and the classes are so engaging. I guess I just wanted to say I how grateful I was for your help and Thank you again!” – Mount Holyoke graduate — “Our daughter graduated with a major in Broadcast Journalism and 2 related minors. You picked this college for her that was not even on our radar. You told me to relax and let go, that this college was the fit for her. Thank you for being so right. Thank you for all your help with both our girls. Just thought you would like to hear how your influence and help was so positive.” – Mom of college graduate — “I just wanted to thank you so much for helping me apply and get in to Boston College. It couldn’t have been a better fit for me, and I love it here!” – Boston College undergrad — See all testimonials
