What folks are saying

Sergio | Student | Boston College

“During my time working with Maggie, she has provided me nothing but endless support. Aside from coming into my life as a college counselor she has acted almost like a big sister. She would listen to my situation with an open mind and heart, and helped me navigate my college transition journey as best she could. Today, I am a Junior at Boston College, I am first-gen, low-income, from a single-immigrant parent home. While Maggie may not have been the only resource in getting to college, she has definitely been one of the most influential ones in terms of getting here and staying here. Words will never describe my appreciation of Maggie and all the way she has looked out for me and aided me.”

“We started working with Maggie when my daughter was a junior in high school. Maggie did a fantastic job laying out a process to help Sophie begin to think about what kind of schools she might be interested in. Most important, Maggie got to know Sophie and her interests and passions and offered ideas on how to leverage her interests to strengthen her application. Working with Maggie really helped Sophie understand what she needed to do to be a very strong candidate for her desired colleges.”

Sarah | Parent

“My kiddo and I loved working with Maggie on a college essay. Maggie totally “got” my kid’s quirky sensibility and passion for art and theatre, helping them to overcome a lot of resistance to talking about themselves (much less promoting themselves) and natural aversion to essay writing. Maggie has a rare ability for balancing warm support with a much-needed firm push.

"I couldn't imagine having anybody else to work with. You constantly pushed me to write more vividly and pulled at my passions to help them to shine through my writing in a way I undoubtedly couldn't have done without you. I am so thankful for all of your help, not just with improving my writing skills (that I'll carry with me through future writing in college!), but also for constantly supporting me throughout the entire process and helping me to dive deeper into my feelings so that I could write about the harder topics."
