What our students and families are saying
Kevin Blanco
Harvard University, Class of 2026
“Monica took the time to go through every word of my college essays. She took the time to get to know me. She helped me structure my paper, organize my thoughts and write about them in a natural and personal way that represented me. This attention to detail that she has for writing helped me get into Stanford and Harvard!”
Susan Kadota
Parent of UC Davis Student, Class of 2027
“Monica is a joy to work with. She is empathetic and gets each student and uniquely tailors her approach to each student. She gave our daughter the push and guidance she needed to work through some blocks and get her applications and get accepted! Thank you, Monica!”
Katie Tully
Vanderbilt University, Class of 2027
“Monica has helped me so much with the college process from start to finish. Since freshman year, she has helped advise me on how to achieve my goals, supporting me when I had opportunity and giving me reality checks when necessary. She is one of the first people I want to tell when I get into a school or receive a scholarship and I think that speaks a lot not only to her skills as a college counselor, but also to how much she truly cares for her students.”
Marcos Cabrera
Parent of Gap Year Student, Class of 2027
“With my own child this year, I saw how Monica manages the emotions of the students at a very fraught time in life and she makes a huge difference in their outlooks and their outcomes.”
