If I can choose all five options I would. Rebecca helped out a lot and I wouldn’t trade the world for connecting with her. Her work is outstanding and I’d recommend. My confidence on the applications definitely boosted and I will keep her updated! Even though there was a limited time crunch and with the upcoming holiday, the application deadline was met. She did extremely well and made sure I was updated along the way.

I want to start by saying that Rebecca does write a good essay and resume. However, I paid $3,600 for 10 hours of work that was supposed to include a 150 word essay, a resume and a common app essay. I never received the common app essay which should have been the bulk of the work. When I asked Rebecca about this, she said that she had exceeded the 10 hours that I paid for. The resume had several errors that I had to fix (things that a simple Google search could have resolved) and the essay had to be rewritten due to an error. My recommendation to anyone considering hiring Rebecca in any capacity is to get everything in writing. I would request a breakdown of the hourly rate. I took meticulous notes during our initial conversation, however, I did not get an agreement in writing. I had send her $3,600 via Venmo before she would begin. It is very hard for me to believe that anyone with a self described reputation of being a "professional" with an "impeccable reputation" could mislead a client in this way. She has several years of experience and should have know that she could not deliver the 3 items that she promised within the recommended time frame. Unfortunately, I only received 2 or the 3 items that were promised and am not interested in paying more for the additional essay at this point. Buyer beware!

Rebecca is the best. My child had extreme anxiety dealing with the college application process. We all did. Rebecca stepped in and helped organize the process, kept my daughter accountable and on task, guided my daughter and worked magic with the essays, and overall made the process pretty easy. Ten schools were targeted and not only did my daughter get into all ten, but she got her early decision choice of NYU. She's a few weeks in to her NYU academics and could not be happier. If you want results, contact Rebecca. She's truly a college admissions angel.

Rebecca is the best! I got early college admissions decision for Stanford University. I could not have done it without her. Her counseling skill is amazing. She alleviated my nervousness and actually made the process fun. Her writing skills, the best. I will be forever grateful!

Our family hired Rebecca to help my son finalize his college essays and to work on his resume. She responded quickly, worked with our busy schedule, and did the job promptly. After visiting with her on the phone, she set our minds at ease about the process. I can recommend her without hesitation. We plan to use her again in the future.
