Student Reviews for the Class of 2021
You made my college process easier by really helping me narrow down what specific characteristics I am looking for in a university, and by helping me develop a list that I felt was tailored especially for me.
Ishani, Class of 2021 College Park HS
You made the process easier by really helping me to know myself better as well as understand every aspect colleges really want to know about me, giving me sound advice throughout, especially given that I'm interested in a competitive field, and there have been rather a lot of exceptional unforeseen obstacles from COVID.

Parent Reviews for the Class of 2021
Audrey is amazing. She is very connected to the high school student needs and helps to gently guide them in a direction they are meant to go in. She is considerate of the hardships the high school, gives them space to be themselves, listens to them and keeps them on track to get necessary tasks done. She is kind and supportive through the very challenging and sometimes frustrating process of college applications.
Her hourly fees are very fair, especially if you look at the fees of other college counselors in the area. She is worth every penny to help your high schooler make the right decisions and continue onto college.
Parent, California HS Class of 2021 Yelp review
You made the college process easier by really getting to know our student, relating to his unique strengths and character as well as being a cheery, extremely knowledgeable and responsive one-stop resource anytime a question or concern arose. We've greatly appreciated your proactive suggestions at every step from earliest stages like exploring summer career academies through to facilitating college interview practice. Your dedicated and patient writing assistance was invaluable.
Parent, Campolindo HS, Class of 2021
Working with Audrey, especially this very challenging 2020 year of Covid, helped my student stay on track and look forward in a practical way. Audrey's wealth of knowledge about the various "personalities" of schools was invaluable as she knew what my student was looking for in terms of student body and program offerings. When it was hard to look forward, Audrey was a fabulous one on one coach looking at the here and now, which resulted in fabulous early admissions and scholarship offers. Audrey is in tune with students, and where some coaches might be condescending, Audrey is like that coach behind the locomotive going up the hill: "you can do it, you can do it"!

Audrey helped me find the strengths that made me stand out in such a competitive applicant pool. While working with Audrey I became more confident in my abilities and she reminded me each meeting that I was going to succeed and I was going to find the right school for me. I thought the odds were not in my favor but with Audrey’s help they were. I had my ups and downs during this process but every meeting encouraged me to keep going and keep working for what I wanted. She helped me realize what I wanted and the outcome was much better than I expected. Audrey helped me realize what I wanted was possible and with her guidance I achieved my dream. With Audrey’s help I was able to find my school and I cannot wait for the next four years.

Audrey helped me figure out a potential field of study, provided me with many great college options, helped me immensely with my essays, and supported me throughout my entire college admissions process. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone.
Corinne - Portland State University
I truly believe that working with you and having your resources gave me a huge advantage over my peers. You introduced me to schools that I hadn’t ever heard of and I ended up loving them. I do think I would’ve been more stressed if I was going about it on my own. I am honestly so thankful that I got to work with you.
Thank you again,
Corinne
We are so thankful that we made the choice to hire Audrey to help our daughter navigate the college application arena. The vastness of choices available were daunting and we felt overwhelmed. Audrey helped our daughter narrow down the options, stay focused, and ultimately get accepted to all of the schools she applied too. Had Audrey not been there, the same process would have caused our family great stress not to mention tension and arguments with our teenager! Thank you Audrey! We’ll be talking again in a few years when our next daughter is ready for college!

Parent Reviews for the Class of 2020
You made our college journey easier by keeping our son organized. Instead of having to nag him about college applications, I could just enjoy my time with him. Thank you so much, Audrey!
Kathy R. - Northgate HS Class of 2020, Parent
You made our college journey easier by telling me in our first conversation that there is a college out there for every child, it's just a matter of finding the right match. You were the matchmaker--thank you for lighting the way for us! Invaluable advice, reassurance during stressful times, a helpful nudge when deadlines were approaching, and a positive, encouraging attitude the whole time. Thank you for demystifying and reducing the stress considerably--best investment ever! We had a great experience from start to finish. I found it very helpful to have conversations with you directly about our daughter and then to hear your perspective, which is often different from that of the parent! It is helpful to share concerns and talk through them so you really feel like you are all on the same team.
Suzy P. - Acalanes HS Class of 2020, Parent
You made our college journey easier by the way you guided our son through the entire process with the information you shared with him, the guidance you provided, and the questions and the assignments you gave him that really made him think about his decisions. He really enjoyed your sense of humor and the relationship you developed. He trusted your advice and guidance and working with you made the whole process so less stressful. Thanks so much, Audrey!
