Audrey’s very straightforward process of helping me create a great essay was very helpful for me to make applying for college a breeze. Without her help, I would be pretty lost, so I am extremely grateful I had someone experienced in order to put me on the right path. Audrey’s very amiable personality also helped a lot with the process. I was able to just talk for thirty minutes detailing the stress of having four APs to study for or my frustrations with carefree teenagers during the pandemic, and she’d be fine with continuing the conversation before we turned our heads towards improving my very lackluster writing. Audrey’s humanity with me turned her into more into a friend rather than a mechanical robotic person being paid for a writing counseling service. Whether it be her excellent ability to search for the mistakes in my essays and line my work with green suggestion bars in my Google Doc or the detailed conversations about the impending doom of the world, having Audrey as my counselor is one of the best things that happened to me.

When we found Audrey we were already late. We had already tried a well-known college coaching firm and came away very disappointed. The essays our son Michael had written with their guidance sounded generic and didn’t sound like his real voice; the essays sounded like they were specifically crafted to hit on the typical admissions bullet points. They sounded fake and superficial. And this was no cheap firm, the cost was very high. So we asked friends for help and luckily one of our friends had recently used Audrey for her two kids and she raved about her. Turns out that Audrey is always in high demand, so when we contacted her she had long since filled up her schedule for the season. But she was kind enough to meet with Michael, and they hit it off right away, and she found a way to fit him into her schedule. Let me say, we are so grateful, and feel so fortunate to have found Audrey. She was so kind and supportive to Michael. They would brainstorm together, laugh together, she got to know the real Michael, and then she helped him to put his authentic self into words. To tell the universities who he really is, his passions, his dreams, and that’s what the colleges really want, to know the REAL you, to find the best fit for you. Thanks to Audrey, his essays were now in his own voice, his authentic self. By far the best fit for Michael was Brown University, so he applied for Early Decision and was accepted! So by mid-December Michael could relax and know he was going to his first choice, best-fit, dream school. He was really able to connect with Brown through his essays thanks to Audrey. Also our niece has been working with Audrey since the summer before 11th grade and she has truly blossomed. Her writing and academics have grown by leaps and bounds. Now she is so excited and motivated for the future and ready to apply to college this coming fall with Audrey’s help. I really can’t recommend Audrey highly enough. She is so kind to the kids, and brings out their very best for their college essays. She’s just awesome.

You are one of the favorite persons in our family’s conversation, so I feel we are old friend already. We really appreciate all your effort to help our son’s college application and we are so impressed what you did that we could not do as first generation of immigrant. Thank you, from the bottom of our heart.

Yvonne and I want to express our gratitude for your tremendous help and support during Charlie’s application process. In these few months, you guided him to learn about his own strengths and personalities that were kind of vague for him in the past, to develop many ideas for his essays from a very personal level, and to show him fresh perspectives towards life and his future. We also really appreciate the time you spent to edit Charlie’s applications beyond the weekly Skype meeting, and to help him get into his dream schools.

It’s our best decision to have you in this application season! I heard lots of complaints from other mothers about the pressure and stress, but I did not feel it. I know it is all because of you! I read my son’s essay and felt his improvement! I have told my friends all about you! Thanks again for helping us!

I had struggled with how to support my son in the college application process without being overbearing or projecting my own biases into his process. I had done a bunch of research and had a decent college list but the variations (in-state/out-of-state, SAT/no-SAT, early/regular decision, essays) were dizzying. I turned the reins over my son and Audrey. They did the research, selected colleges and majors, planned the application schedule, etcetera. He diligently worked through the essays and revisions that Audrey assigned. The results were remarkable; they would not have been possible without Audrey.

Chelsea is great! She is straightforward and clear with edits and advice. She has a wealth of knowledge about MD/PhD programs and works hard to ensure her clients succeed.

Short and to-the-point advices! very helpful for novice.

Despite our 30 minute session, Indrani's expertise in personal statements and the law school admissions process was evident. She gave insightful guidance about personal statements broke down the law school admissions process works and answered my questions without judgement. Lastly, she gave me actionable steps which reduced my stress about applying to law school. I highly recommend her!
