I was thinking about you the other day too because I realized how much I like it here and how thankful I am to the people who made this possible for me... chief among them is you!" –P.L., Private Counseling student
"Thanks to you and Top Tier this year has been incredibly exciting for us! Getting the ED admission to Duke last December brought K so much happiness and then relief knowing she would not have to wait till April for RD results to come out. She got to relax some and enjoy the rest of senior year. Thank you so much for working with K these past few years helping to shape her interests and focusing on how to best present herself to colleges for admission." -Y.D., Private Counseling parent
"We heard just this moment that L got into Princeton!! More later but thank you for tirelessly working for this with her. I feel sorry for anyone who doesn’t have you!" –H.J. Private Counseling parent
"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!" –C.J., Private Counseling student
"M and M, I wanted to thank you both again for everything you helped me with over the past couple of years — I couldn’t be more grateful. As much as I dreamed of going to Duke, it’s crazy to think I am actually here now... and I just finished this year with a 3.858 GPA!!" -D.S., Private Counseling student
"Just wanted to say thanks for all your help in guiding P and helping her get into UVA! She came a long way from where she started to finish as the top girl in her graduating class. Your guidance and recommendations were priceless. She is so excited and ready to go off to college. As parents who went to college, we were ignorant about the world of admissions and with your help we were able to make it happen. Thank you!" -B.D., Private Counseling parent
"Thank you so much for everything! We are grateful that you are part of the team and G’s strongest supporter! We wouldn’t be here without you. We look forward to G’s last stretch, and also look forward working to you working with our second child!" –S.Y., Private Counseling parent, x2
"L. was a beacon of calm at the start of this daunting process. Highly organized, intelligent and a lovely calming presence. This was such a stress-free experience, if such a thing exists in this grueling process!" –M.C., Personal Boot Camp student
"I wanted to take a minute to share some great news, and also to express my gratitude to Top Tier and to B. We worked with B in 2017 when our oldest was preparing her college applications, and she was admitted ED1 to Vanderbilt, which was her dream school. She is thriving at Vandy and is now 3 semesters in to a pre-med program that she loves. This past year, we again worked with B as our younger son began to think through his application strategy and ways to improve his candidacy through his extracurricular activities and some additional college-level coursework last summer. P was admitted to Vanderbilt ED1 yesterday. He worked hard to focus on putting forward the best representation of his strengths and interests, and B was an integral part in helping P think through how best to do that. The guidance that B provided as he advised P made a material difference in the decisions that P made this past year, and the result was a very strong application with essays that we believe differentiated P amidst a very competitive pool of candidates. We are so grateful for the wise counsel and informed advice on practical matters regarding this process, and we recommend Top Tier enthusiastically to other parents. B is an absolute professional, and an undisputed expert on this process holistically, and his writing mastery was so helpful to P in refining his application essays. The service you provide is top notch, and the qualifications of the team that you've assembled are exactly what our kids needed to feel confident about this process." –A.J., Personal Boot Camp parent
"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." –M.C., Personal Boot Camp student
"I’ve started tutoring with Emily and she’s soooo awesome!! My scores are already improving. Thank you!" –J.K., ACT tutoring student
"Happy to share that D. received an A this term for history! Many warm thanks for your inspiration and guidance!" –S.T., Writing Guidance Program parent
"We sincerely appreciate your time and talent that you have spent with H in the past couple of months. Your coaching and mentoring have been a tremendous asset to help develop her writing discipline." -G.D., Writing Guidance Program parent
"Looks like S is working at a whole other level with H ... really digging deep. Her school has never taught her that, she needs a H in her life! This is unbelievable… you can tell she really cares! Thank you!" –L.T., Writing Guidance Program parent
"Thank you so much for helping P with her essays. Your advice, insight, and edits were extremely helpful and really pushed P to improve upon her work. My son will be starting this process in two years, and I would love to have you help him as well!" –R.F., parent of Essay Guidance Program student
"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!" –P.A., parent of Essay Guidance Program students
"Thanks for all you did to help K with the essays and app this past month. I cannot believe how much work you both put in to get this done. I had no idea submitting a college app was so daunting. She was able to submit all of her early apps! Anyway, thanks for the great work, you are truly a wordsmith and a special talent!" –H.M., parent of Essay Guidance Program student
