Testimonials

We are so pleased that Cyrus will be attending Middlebury. I think it will be a good fit for him, and I can't believe he'll be so close by! I'm sure we won't see him much, but I still like the idea. Thank you so much for your good guidance and advice. It really made a big difference in how we all handled the stress level.

Cate MachLachlan, Parent,  Middlebury College, ’25

Working with Alice was an absolute joy! I especially appreciated the assistance with essay writing and preparing for interviews. She helped me clarify my ideas and gain confidence for interviews while ensuring that I retained my genuine voice. She was so accommodating with my schedule and always responded promptly when I sent her a question or an essay draft. I highly recommend her help for anyone who wants some guidance and support through the college process.

Ella G., Dartmouth College ’22

Alice was an amazing support for my son. She helped him stay organized and on track every step of the way during his college search. Alice knew a lot about all the colleges he was interested in, and had wonderful ideas on how he could present himself in his most authentic way. We were so thankful to have her guidance and advice.
