2007 How can I ever thank you enough for what you did for our daughter. I don’t think you realize how much your belief in her meant to her and how much it motivated her and actually got her to believe in herself. You truly made a difference.

Dartmouth College
2012 Thanks, Ms. Trayes. I’m choosing Dartmouth.
And, I’m still on the Wait List at Yale!

2006 Thank you for everything you have done to help me get through this process. You have been amazing – honest and blunt, but still hopeful and reassuring. You not only put hours into my future, but you also poured your heart into my dreams. Thank you for playing such an integral role in all my college acceptances.

Emory University
2012 MANY, MANY THANKSSSSSSSSSSSSS to you for pushing Nicolas to do the Early Decision #2 which we had never heard about. I am a happy mother today thanks to you and due to your excellent advice.

Harvard University
2007 Thank you so much for all you’ve done for me over the past year. From helping me revise my essays a thousand times and calming me down in an application crises, you have always been warm and patient. Thank you for your advice and encouragement, and for helping me to dream big!

MIT
2011 Thank you for your amazing advice.

Princeton University
2012 Thank you for helping Chloe shoot for the stars. This is a "pure" thrill, joy, and happiness for our family.

2011 Wow. Thank you for all your help. I never thought it would be Princeton. I went to accepted students weekend and I totally love Princeton.

2008 We are profoundly grateful for the faith you had in our daughter and for all the calm and good cheer you lent to a process that might otherwise have been fraught with tension and angst. Your encouragement and support and the hard work we know you put into the process will never be forgotten.

Stanford University
2012 I thought it might be MIT, but I never thought it would be Stanford, MIT and Columbia!

Trinity College
2008 You were the one to guide and hold his hand all the way and assure us he would be a good candidate for Trinity. As you know, his school did not even want him to apply there. This will make a world of difference to Adam’s future.

Tuffs University
2012 I have been so lucky that you shared your outstanding experience to get me into U.S. colleges. I will never forget your enthusiasm, your sense of humor and your encouragement.

2012 Camille received seven "Yes" letters!!! Especially the Big envelope from Camille’s first choice Tuffs.

University of Chicago

University of Pennsylvania
2011 Thank you for doing everything I know you did to get me into not only UPenn but also into Huntsman. I don’t think I ever could have done it without you, and I’m sure you did so much more behind the scenes to push my entry. I can’t find the words to express the joy and the gratitude that I feel right now.

2011 I want you to know how grateful we are that you helped me so much all the way from New York!
