Laurie Weingarten is the epitome of the knowledgeable expert; she provides tremendous value and is worth every penny! Several years ago, she was instrumental in helping our daughter get accepted into her first-choice college, and now she has worked her magic with our son! Early on in the process she met with our son to identify his strengths and the areas where he needed to improve. Her guidance was extremely beneficial in other ways too: in helping us to figure out the types of colleges where he would thrive, and then in coaching us on how to best represent his positive attributes. She advised us to apply early decision as a strategy for increasing our chances of acceptance to his first-choice college. It was a reach for him, but with strong essays, effective positioning of his extracurricular activities, and the demonstrated interest he showed in the school…he was successful!  He was accepted right before the winter break, making the holiday extra special for our entire family. Our son said that day was the happiest day of his life…a day we will always remember.

Without Laurie’s honesty, her guidance, and her extensive knowledge of colleges and the application process, our son might still be dealing with the ongoing stress of the college admission process. Laurie’s help and expertise were simply beyond compare!
