"It was good to level set expectations around brutal honesty. As parents and students, we need and appreciate that. A major benefit of the Doctor Appointment was Michele telling S the brutal honesty about his chances at MIT and Princeton (not exactly what he was hoping to hear—but, he knew it to be true). That’s important because, as parents, we lack the credibility to carry that message; and, as parents we’re not comfortable sending that message—we’re wired to support our children’s aspirations and build-up self-esteem. It can be tough to hear, but as an admissions coach, it’s SO important to be strong and clear with facts. For instance, it would have been more comfortable for S (and his mom) to hear wishy-washy recommendations, but Top Tier is successful not because it sells services to help with 25+ application... but, helps get the student the right application at an appropriate, top-tier school. When I think of what Top Tier did for our daughter, it comes down to helping with that alignment between student, the school, and the ‘why’."

"I was admitted to Boston College, Syracuse University, University of Tennessee, and Tufts University! I have been awarded significant scholarships from all universities, with a few assistantships and fellowships. Ultimately, I have chosen to attend Tufts University, with a wonderful fellowship in their Children's Laboratory School! I am very excited!! Thank you very much for your guidance through this process. I am certain it made all the difference in getting accepted."

"Dear Michele & Yvonne, I just wanted to send a short email to thank both of you for helping and guiding me the past four years. I received my USMA appointment in the mail Friday night, and I will be accepting the offer. I’m in LA right now for my USC merit scholarship interview tomorrow, but I will still be going to West Point. None of this would have been possible without you two! Thank you!"

"Thank you so much for helping H with her essays and activities list. She really enjoyed working with you, as you were positive, incredibly helpful with suggestions and cutting down word and character counts, and so fast! Thank you for your kind words about her hard work. I know she feels better after working with you. She's going to get this first round in, then she may be coming back to you for help on other applications. Thank you again for everything!"

"I am so relieved to have all of these essays done, especially because I know they would’ve hung over my head all summer. I wanted to thank L again for all of her help. She is so wise and intelligent and clearly knows what she is doing, so her help with my essays was priceless. I was so lucky to work with her and I know I wouldn’t have dug so deep without her guidance."

"I want to thank you, again, for a fantastic Top Tier Boot Camp experience. As a second time Top Tier family, we drank your Kool Aid fully and completely, and it paid off! You know your stuff; you manage to thread the needle with a mix of tough love and compassion (for both the students and their parents - no small feat) and you run a super-efficient 4-day program."
