Testimonials


 We sought additional college counseling because we wanted to enhance/supplement the service and advice our high school provided.  We wanted a third party, ‘objective’ opinion regarding everything from devising a realistic yet optimistic list of schools, to protocol concerning such matters as establishing personal contact with admissions officers etc. Strategic Admissions Advice was recommended to us by a trusted friend and we responded immediately to their professional, yet warm and genuine approach.  

-- Parent of a student at Vanderbilt University

We were extremely pleased with the process and definitely with the outcome. Our College Coach was patient, accessible, knowledgeable and worked really well with our son. She kept us in the loop – and made sure his applications went out very early. So far he has gotten into all the schools he applied to – and we are thrilled!  

-- Parent of a student accepted to five colleges before November 15th

For our son, having an expert review his abilities, give confidence in writing, provide some pointers for an interview and give consistent direction in a process that can be terribly anxiety-provoking in students was of great value.  Helpful to me as a parent? Oh, yes!! Mr. Herndon-Brown provided direction and confidence in ways beyond our expertise. It is very helpful to have an expert bring his special perceptions to the process, giving our son confidence much as he would receive from a very outstanding teacher or counselor, and more.
