We realize that the college admission process can be a stressful time for families. We also know that frequently the burden of tracking and overseeing the admissions "assembly line" falls to one parent-- a parent who may also have other full-time responsibilities. And in most cases, the essay will be the last, and the most persistently "nagged" about part of the application. We offer a rational approach to this headache. We set up strict timetables, we offer advice, and we give encouragement-- but we do not write your child's essay. Only your child can do that. In working with us, you are making a choice: a choice that your child will work harder on his or her college applications, and also work smarter. But please remember, the operative word is work. We are coaches and teachers, not surgeons. We encourage your child, we demand homework, we criticize, and we suggest. We do not put your child under anesthesia and perform miracles. Our work often does result in small miracles, but those miracles are performed by your child.
