Kind Words from Parents & Students

Thank you for your patience, guidance, and expertise.
We are delighted that our son was accepted to Tufts; but, even if he hadn’t been, we would still be deeply grateful to you, Joan. You helped him write about himself and, in the process, come to appreciate everything that he had done during high school and, more importantly, to appreciate who he is. These are such wonderful gifts that will stay with him well beyond the next four years. Thank you for your patience, guidance, and expertise. We feel like we received far more than we asked for when we started working with you. Thank you a million times over.

Spotlight Carnegie Mellon University
A statue of Scotty, CMU's official mascot. Touring colleges is an important part of our role as educational consultants—and an enjoyable one as well. I recently visited Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) with a group of consultants where we heard from faculty, a student panel, and the admissions office. CMU is renowned for its cutting-edge research and interdisciplinary approach, and offers a robust campus experience with guaranteed housing for all students. Over 90% of students live on campus, fostering a strong community atmosphere. The university hosts six undergraduate colleges, each with distinct programs, while encouraging collaboration and cross-disciplinary studies. [...] Continue Reading →
