Parent of Harvard Admitted Student

(Class of 2021) As a university faculty member who always stresses the importance of self-reliance and independence in students and our kids, I was initially unsure what to expect from academic counseling. On the other hand, since we didn’t go through the US college application process ourselves, we thought it was worthwhile seeking advice from experts who really know the system well. It turned out to be a wise decision! Ann Lee and her team has been tremendously patient and helpful in guiding our son through the various aspects of college application – such as recommending summer programs that fit well with his interest and further strengthen his profile, providing thoughtful comments on essays to make sure they best reflect his characters and passion, comparing the strengths of different programs and schools, and discussing strategies for successful interviews. She has established a detailed timeline that was tremendously helpful in terms of prioritizing the preparation for different materials so that none of them was rushed. We all learned a great deal from the process, and we deeply appreciate the extensive expertise and caring support from Ann and her team. We definitely look forward to working with them again for our younger son’s application in the near future!
