College Admissions Consultant

Things have sure changed since I went to college 30 years ago. As a parent it was overwhelming trying to figure out where to start. How many schools should we apply to? How do we choose which ones? And so many deadlines, SAT, ACT, applications, letters of recommendations etc... You want your child to have the very best opportunity at a successful college experience and that begins with finding the right fit in a college. We found VIPCollegeAdmissions and could not have been more pleased. Our college consultant, Frank was amazing through the process and also stayed in close touch with our son to make sure he was on track with his essays, testing dates, and everything else he needed to do. He went over his essays several times until he and our son felt like they were perfect. Our son applied to 12 schools and got into 11, most with great scholarships. You are going to spend so much money on your child's education, it's worth investing in the foundation. We highly recommend VIPCollegeAdmissions!

We utilized VIPCollegeAdmissions Consulting for my daughter. Our daughter worked with Ava Thomas during her senior year of high school on her college applications. For our daughter, it was really the best decision we had made for her. Possibly later than we should have but worth the senior year. To say Ava has enormous patience when dealing with an overwhelmed high school senior is a massive understatement. Dr.Thomas helped our daughter identify the schools that would work to her strengths and their chosen majors. Ava guided each one with a calm yet firm approach, helping my daughter put together robust applications that gained them acceptances at not only her top choice but numerous other excellent universities. The college application/ acceptance criteria have changed significantly over the years and I would highly recommend using VIPCollegeAdmissions.com to navigate through the process.

I'm so grateful for how much Vipcollegeadmissions helped with my college admissions. The college counselors know the admissions process really well, and the advice they give is substantive and very valuable. I used them for my 11th grade through senior year and got accepted into my top 4 colleges. My college counselor, Dr. Thomas, is strong in the work ethic and advise was a huge help for me. I feel I definitely learned a lot, managed my time and without their help I would have not been accepted. Huge thanks to Vipcollegeadmissions. Strongly recommend

Vipcollegeadmissions.com has the best college admissions consulting process. They have been lifesavers for my entire high school years--- planning, strategizing and assisting my family and I. They have helped, guided and directed me into getting myself ready for college. They had the vision that I did not have for myself when we first started. Looking back at everything... I definitely could not have been where am today without the strategic planning and positioning they did for me. Thanks!
Vipcollegeadmissions.com has helped me to get accepted into my top schools. I got accepted into my top five universities and I will be going to Williams College. My parents and I are so excited.
Thank you for everything!

Vipcollegeadmissions helped my oldest daughter gain college admission to her top choice college and this fall, my son was admitted to the University of Pennsylvania, and I don't believe it would have happened without Vipcollegeadmissions guidance, hard work and encouragement.

Since ninth grade, my son met with Vipcollegeadmissions college consultant, Bill, to organize himself and make the most of his high school years and summers in between. In the earlier years of high school, he helped him pick the right classes, urged him to take AP Physics, and generally helped him take his interests to their fullest expression. Bill encouraged my son to take a leadership role in his activities, which really brought out confidence in my son.
In his junior year, they had more frequent meetings, phone calls and really stepped things up this past summer before applications were due. He helped my son 1-on-1 for the ACT and found amazing tutors for him in math and science to help him when he needed. College Consultant, Bill, planned out his testing schedule, and supported his interest in web design, even securing him a paid job. Starting last August, they selected colleges and worked through essays as the deadlines approached. Best of all, Bill and my son had a great relationship which made for such a smooth process during high school. We could not recommend Bill and Vipcollegeadmissions enough! They know the college admissions process in and out, travel to various colleges during the year which makes their knowledge about the schools even greater and they worked with both of my kids to ensure they get accepted into their top college choices. Thank you.

We are excited to soon be starting our second child in the VipCollegeAdmissions program after a successful experience with our first (who is attending her first-choice Ivy League school this Fall). One of the key benefits for both the parents and the student is the structured approach to the entire process from selecting schools to preparing for the standardized tests to writing essays and everything in between. This approach was a HUGE help for our first (who is extremely organized and driven in her own right) as it took the pressure off to just know that there was a plan of attack. As parents, we were involved, but in a positive way — not constantly pestering her about deadlines and details. VipCollegeAdmissions had those details covered with her in charge of it all. The process helped build her confidence as well as she was ultimately making the decisions that will impact her life in the future. A must for sure if you're seeking college admissions consulting.

We had a great experience working with Dr. Thomas at Vipcollegeadmissions.com They helped our sons get into USC and Princeton. We had used another college admissions counseling service for our daughter years ago, but they wanted more money as we used up our hours. This is what I like about the service here- they offer unlimited hours, don't bill you and cause panic in the middle of your kids college process, they help every step of the way. Dr. Thomas was available literally 24/7. I would recommend Dr. Thomas here at Vipcollegeadmissions if available. We had a great experience and both of my kids worked harder with the guidance we had

N a game of margins, it's undoubtedly a benefit to work with someone who knows the playbook front to back. From the time my parents and I contacted Vipcollegeadmisisons in my sophomore year until I was accepted into my top-choice school during senior year, they did much more for me than just help with honing my story. I worked with Dr. Ava Thomas who improved my writing skills, connected me with people from their resources, helped me become a leader in my extra curricular activities and most importantly became someone I felt like I could trust and ask advice from, even outside the spectrum of college admissions. In addition to this, I really appreciate the way she approaches helping students. Like I said, she knows the playbook, but rather than use that knowledge to guide our process, Dr. Thomas makes it available to me, enabling and empowering me to gain as much or as little as I want.
Aside from this, Ava is a joy to work with—she's always available if you need help or are having a late-night meltdown while attempting to tackle the umpteenth admissions question, she understands people well and strikes the perfect balance between encouraging and pushing, and overall advised me in such a way that I was able to enjoy the struggle of the admissions process. I would recommend Vipcollegeadmissions to anyone seeking college admissions consulting.

Hands down the best college admissions counseling you will ever find. They say what they do. Unlike some other company we initially called and used. After 50 hours they wanted another 100 Plus hours to complete the next grade. We thought about and contacted VIPcollegeadmissions. They did not ask us for any money, nor they did discuss pricing or eager to sign us up. They offered guidance and some really good advice. We picked them to help our son finish out the last year and half of high school. We did not foresee him getting into his top 3 college choices with the way he had been prior counseled. With the extra hard work from VIPCollegeadmissions, their team helped my son get into his top 3 college picks! They did what they said they would do and we are more than grateful for them to help our son work his hardest and recover some time. Our son had wonderful interview prep and college essays with the assistance of VIPCollegeadmissions. Overall if I had to do it over again I would've picked VIPCollegeAdmissions from the 8th grade. The results are amazing and we are so thrilled for our son! Thank you!

Best college admissions counselors! Would recommend VipCollegeAdmissions.com over any of the others. We called a lot of companies and they all wanted to do hourly and/or a lump hourly. We decided to go with VipCollegeAdmissions and happy we did. My college counselor went out of his way on off hours and weekends to help me. I got accepted into my top 4 colleges! Thanks to all of the help I got!

I started working with Vipcollegeadmissions my sophomore year of high school. My family and I needed guidance in the college admissions process, so we turned to VipCollegeadmissions.

Over the two years of high school, my college admissions consultant, Kayla, helped me clarify my strengths and interests while giving me extensive guidance based on her +years of diverse professional experience. When I decided to start a non-profit, she was on hand to guide me through the formation process, providing savvy advice and a unique perspective. Later, when my non-profit began expanding, she helped create clear metrics for measuring impact.
On the college admissions side of things, Kayla guided me through every step of the process, including selecting classes that would be a good fit, helping me prepare for tests in a manner that fit my learning style, and completely eliminating any stress about college admissions in the process.
Once I started applying, Kayla and her team were on hand to help accurately convey the nuance and emotion of some of my most memorable high school experiences. Vipcollegeadmissions.com writing tutors are amongst the best I have experienced in any setting.

Kayla's extensive knowledge of college admissions is not limited to the application--it extends to the minute details of academics and campus life at hundreds of colleges, all from the experience of either visiting those schools or having students attend them. This insight was tremendously valuable in my college application process. Not only did she help me put together a perfect list of colleges, she also helped me make the right decision when the time came. During the college application process, Kayla became a fantastic mentor to me, and she continues to be one of my closest friends and mentors. I would recommend Vipcollegeadmissions to anyone interested in seeking college admissions help.

I worked with Vipcollegeadmissions on the 8th to 12 grade package, and thanks to their fantastic team and approach, my son is going to his top choice this fall. Thanks to their college admissions consulting.

Jennifer J. Was wonderful to work with. She was patient, kept my son on track with the timelines for each school, and gave insightful feedback that helped him draw out my best stories for my essays and interviews. She was always positive and thoughtful in our interactions, which alleviated a lot of the stress that goes along with the application process. Jennifer was also incredibly responsive and usually got back to my son within 24 hours, even over the holidays.

She was extremely knowledgeable about every school that he applied to, and gave great feedback on how to optimize the content in his essays for each one. Having a secondary reviewer and proofreader look over his essays in addition to his primary was a great value-add. They identified areas for improvement and gave us all a peace of mind that weren't any grammatical mistakes.

VIPCollegeAdmissions is well worth the investment for college admissions process and counseling. I highly recommend to anyone considering any package with them. They are professional.

I spent a great of my time researching college admissions consultants. I spoke to many but VIPCollegeAdmissions.com was the only one that seemed to care about me as a person, didn't rush to pricing and was honest yet sensible about my ideas and what needed to be done.
I started with VipCollegeAdmissions in the summer going into 10th grade. They helped me with what classes to add, what to do w my extra time, what to do in the summer, SAT and the entire senior year college admissions application process. I have to say it was the best coaching experience I got, plus I gained a great mentor. I applied to 10 colleges with acceptance of 8. I got to go where I wanted to go. If my parents and I had not chosen to use a college admissions counselor I am sure I would've gone to a state school. VIPCollegeAdmissions gains my trust and recommendation on the best college admissions process/consultants. They do a great deal of work to help you stand out so you are admitted to the top college(s). Thanks for everything!

My daughter attended a public high school and wanted to attend an Ivy League school in NY. She had a handful of extracurriculars, great grades, achievements, and VIPCollegeAdmissions helped her organize and focus her application in order to present herself optimally. The writing specialists at VipCollegeAdmissions guided her through the essay-writing process and provided much invaluable feedback. They were always extremely thorough and detailed in their feedback, and provided much-needed and knowledgeable perspective on all application writing, essays. They also encouraged my daughter to connect with professors in the departments of her interest, and with VIPCollegeAdmissions help she was able to have dialogues with and secure supplementary recommendations from several professors at the schools she applied to. My wife and I truly believe that this advice and networking made all the difference in getting her into her first-choice school of Cornell.

Vipcollegeadmissions is amazing! They worked with my daughter through the college application process. We only wish we had started working with her earlier. Our college admissions counselor, Frank, started helping my daughter in her junior year, if we had it to do over we definitely would have started earlier. His level of expertise as well as his interpersonal skills made us feel confident through the entire process. We really felt taken care of and our minds were at ease from the moment Frank started helping us. Our daughter applied and was accepted to Columbia University through the early decision process.

Not only did Frank strategize with us and advised us, but he had tons of useful inside knowledge and information that we definitely wouldn't have known where to find! To top it all off he was warm, kind, a great listener and really addressed our concerns rather than imposing his own views or values. After our daughter was accepted to Columbia, he helped us all the way though enrollment process.
We can't recommend Vipcollegeadmissions enough. We felt like they cared about our daughter's success as much as we did.
