“Sarah played a big role in our son's admission to Harvard, his first-choice college. She joined our son's admissions process when we were all feeling a bit overwhelmed and lost. She was able to communicate with our son (and us) with wisdom, compassion, and skill, turning what could have been a trainwreck into an incredibly strong application. She listened to what we wanted and needed and put together a comprehensive plan that included forming the appropriate list of schools, brainstorming as well as editing essays, reviewing the Common Application, preparing for interviews, and providing the encouragement that he/we needed along the way. Sarah works with total integrity, honesty, empathy and productivity. Our son applied to three schools Early Action and had nine more applications ready to go for Regular Decision in case the early schools didn’t work out. All of these applications were as strong as the first ones—she is that organized. We cannot quite put into words the work that Sarah did to help our son through this process, but we know that she has influenced his entire educational outlook and for that, we are forever grateful.”
