“I wanted to let you know how happy we are with the relationship you have formed with Connor. He realizes we would not be anywhere near where we need to be without your assistance. We had already come to that conclusion! You have allowed us to step back from the nagging and honestly, Connor is maneuvering through so far on his own. To cut to the chase, it is the best money we have ever spent!!!”

"I had the pleasure of working with Emily as a colleague before she guided me through the MBA admissions process. When I was thinking about returning to graduate school she was an irreplaceable resource. In fact, she was a major factor in my decision to finally apply. She provided insight, wisdom and a good deal of confidence while helping me understand how the program would shape me as a person. All of these are the essential traits of a strong admission counselor; she has them in great enough quantity to be among the best."

“Emily played a key role in my college decision process. Had I not met Emily, I don't think I would have had the courage to leave my home state, Iowa. Emily has a natural
ability for really getting to know people, and making them feel instantly at ease. I am forever grateful to Emily not only for the guidance she gave me in making important decisions, but for the sincere care she took in me from day one.”

“Ms. Selden was a pleasure to work with from the very start. I remember meeting a very vibrant, very personable Emily for the first time when she came to visit my high school. She was so full of energy and so knowledgeable about every aspect of the college process that it made me that much more interested, and kept me feeling that much more at ease. As a freshman, I saw Emily around campus often and even enjoyed a few meals with her in the college's dining hall. Emily was a pleasure to work with from the very beginning. I knew the moment I had stepped into Starbucks for my first interview that I had found a 'supporter' of sorts in Emily. She was professional, but approachable, and soon the conversation was flowing. I had begun the meeting feeling utterly nervous and left feeling confident. Emily was always there for me, as I hope she is for many students to come. From application to acceptance, I was lucky enough to call her my admissions advisor. Now, I am lucky enough to call her a good friend.”
