- Student in Class of 2023, Arizona State University
Thank you, Devan. We have been super excited to see our daughter working on all of this with you. Her attitude towards attending a university has really improved. Not that she wasn't excited before, but I think the focus has her really excited now. You know how you can just tell in conversation when someone is already mentally ready for the next step in their life. It's just so cool to see.

“The best part of having Julie work with my daughter was their interactions. My daughter looked forward to the meetings and really enjoyed their time together. Working with Julie saved a lot of stress on both students and parents.”
— Mom of Student in Class of 2023, Arizona State University
Julie established a super supportive rapport with our daughter such that she felt motivated, optimistic, and driven to get her personal statement to a point where she was really proud of it. I also think Julie's careful and attentive listening was instrumental in her understanding of where our daughter was coming from, resulting in Julie's suggestion she explore a college that ended up being our daughter's number one choice.

I learned how to brainstorm ideas for essays and put them into an actual essay. [This process] gives you a great outside perspective to ensure the best possible outcome for your college applications.

“As someone who plans on applying to internships and graduate schools in the future, working with Julie definitely taught me how to take the view of the person reading my application. Before we worked together, I wasn't sure what they would be looking for or how I would come across someone evaluating me based on a very small written supplement. Julie taught me the right questions to ask myself when writing to appeal to admissions officers without sacrificing my voice or personality. Both the outside perspective and learning how to become my own outside perspective will be very beneficial to me as I apply for jobs, internships, and future schools.”

We are so pleased with the help you have given our daughter and the stress that we have not had to deal with in this process. It’s so much more fun than I thought it would be !
