Rachel is amazing at helping you craft a compelling story for applications. She not only helps you find the right stories to tell but also knows exactly how to make them stand out with attention-grabbing phrases. She's clear, prompt, and diligent with her feedback, which really keeps things moving. She also knew precisely how to keep me on task when my mind was wandering or I started getting overwhelmed with the process. I have ADHD and I'm female, so it took much longer for a diagnosis compared to many of my male classmates with the same executive dysfunctioning. A lot of the time I just feel "stuck" my brain can be screaming at me to move and get going, and I just won't be able to bring myself to get out of bed. It's much better when my symptoms are managed, but it's a lifelong disorder I have to live with. Rachel was incredibly understanding and NEVER made me feel like I was lazy or incapable like so many other elementary school teachers had viciously spat at me in the past. We actually wove in a powerful story about my late diagnosis in my personal statement which made me feel vulnerable but confident it was the right fit for the application narrative we were striving for. Of course, I am much more than my diagnosis! I am a diligent student, even if I have to work twice as hard. I'm a dedicated big sister to the loveliest little brother, and a part-time worker trying to save for her future. Rachel knew exactly how to bring all these elements out in a persona assessment,I was shocked when I saw more than 20 points she'd laid out about why I'd be a welcome addition to any top-ranked school! I chose to go to Cornell University, and I know in my heart this is the best school for me. Thank you Rachel for believing in me!

Allie played a pivotal role in helping my child secure admission to Harvard University WITH $63,000+ in scholarship awards!!!! Of course, I couldn't be happier about the outcome as a parent. While getting accepted is what every student and parent ultimately wants, I really felt that Allie went the extra mile with us. Her guidance was invaluable, marked by her expertise, warmth, and willingness to challenge my daughter with insightful questions that made her dig beneath the surface and bring to light precisely what would make her such an outstanding addition to one of the country's most prestigious schools. We actually started working with Quad when my daughter was in grade 10, so we've been working with Allie for a while, and they had grown a close relationship throughout the process. Allie was there for us when she applied to her junior year pre-college summer programs, and she ultimately helped her get into Princeton's journalism program! While my daughter ultimately ended up also being accepted to Princeton, she made the final call that Harvard was still her dream school. Aside from summer program help, Allie was my child's biggest supporter as she challenged herself with AP Literature, AP History, and other classes. Together, they worked on a plan that would show the breadth of her talents while also showcasing her ability to handle whatever coursework came her way. I was with my daughter on Ivy Day when she was accepted, and Allie was the first person she reached out to. Her supportive email the day before admissions decisions were released helped calm her nerves, setting the stage for a memorable day. Having my daughter work alongside Allie definitely changed her life!

One of the other parent's on my son's soccer team actually recommended Quad Education to me! Just like she said it would be, the consultation was a friendly, information experience that didn't make me feel like the company just wanted my checkbook, they wanted to help my son succeed. Gabriel's professionalism impressed me immediately from the first call. The first call he spent building a genuine connection with my son over playing volleyball and a love of exercise in general while also establishing points on what they'd be working on moving forward. He also served on the admissions committee at my son's dream school, Brown! With his assistance, my son navigated the application process for ten schools, relying heavily on his insightful feedback. His fresh perspective ensured my son's essays were on track and effectively addressed each school's prompts while relating to their missions. The highlight of the collaboration was definitely his assistance in my son's Brown University video introduction. While my son is quite adept with video technology, Gabriel helped him brainstorm ways he could showcase who he was and why he was a great fit for Brown in the most authentic way possible. Her expertise in connecting disparate elements resulted in a truly stellar video which made me laugh and smile when I watched the draft, he truly knew how to capture my son's essence in just two minutes flat. We believe that Gabriel's support was a great help to my son and led directly to his acceptance at Brown! We couldn't be prouder to see him go to his dream Ivy League college. Thank you, Gabriel!

BROWN UNIVERSITY, here I come!!! I am BEYOND excited. Thank you to Kayla and Quad for helping me get this far!

Thank you for helping me get accepted to Brown! Amazing services, a responsive counselor, and resources that were easy to use and apply in my application.

Quad's free consultation is great--even though a lot of places like them seem to put that as a selling point, the one we participated in was informative and didn't put pressure on us to make a decision so quickly. It made me feel immediately comfortable to know that the Quad was so knowledgeable about colleges! From there, they used my son's intake form or personality assessment to match him with a counselor. Matching with Brittney was awesome! She knew so much about the UC Application and school system as California natives, my son has always dreamed of attending UC Berkeley. Above all, she was always friendly and prepared for every meeting scheduled with my son.

She was especially helpful with assisting my son Max in working through the personal insights questions. We had looked them over together before, and I didn't even know the first place to start with them or even if I could help him get started. I have not written an essay in at least 25 years. With a lack of time and knowledge, it was a blessing to have her insights, her and Max went through everything he's accomplished together, and I was very proud of all the work he's done to get himself this far. The persona assessment she conducted was so helpful for building an essay, and I highly recommend parents come to Quad Education just for that reason alone!!

She even helped Max get the recommendation letters from his science teacher and from the teacher who runs the chess club at his school. They worked on some sort of resume together that made sure everything those recommenders wrote about would complement everything in Max's application. I'm so grateful to Brittney for helping Max make his UC dreams come true, and couldn't be happier that we went with Quad!

After checking out Quad's guides on how low acceptance rates at top schools could be, my husband and I were more concerned than ever about our daughter's chances of success. What would happen if she didn't make it this year? What if she got into a school she didn't even want to go to? I felt a lot of pressure and I think we stressed her out so much that we knew we needed some external help. We reached out to Quad and had a lovely first call with the team about my daughter's profile and what her hopes and dreams were--this was before we were even matched with a counselor! When she told them her target schools, Quad said that a counselor may not even be required given her profile, stats, and school admissions criteria. We went back and brainstormed as a family, and I encouraged her to aim higher--her newfound confidence led her to Johns Hopkins University with a scholarship! Throughout the application process, David consistently encouraged her to craft essays that were not only distinctive but also aligned seamlessly with the personal statement they'd worked on together. During revision sessions, he meticulously analyzed the messages my daughter was trying to convey, ensuring coherence across all components of her application package. His insightful grasp of the nuances of top-tier schools like Johns Hopkins University was particularly impressive. Opting for the 15-school package with David turned out to be a wise decision! I've already recommended Quad to my sister and cousin, and would recommend their services to anyone else seeking a great company to partner with!

Their support was invaluable, and I'm forever thankful for the opportunity.

The college admissions process was overwhelming and scary. I kept thinking to myself, "How am I supposed to balance ALL this while taking AP Physics classes, playing basketball on the school team, AND working my part-time retail job." My parents weren't that much help--I'm a second-generation immigrant and now a first-generation college student.

That's where Quad came in. Originally, I didn't really want to open up all that much to Marlee. I was raised in a way where we're not super emotional or talk about things too deeply, so that was initially a challenge. She really had a way to get me to open up though, and it wasn't long before we were chatting about my hopes and dreams as well as my troubles and struggles as someone with social anxiety.

Because of Marlee's help, I came out of the application process feeling confident and armed with much clarity. I also got into Yale University!!!

Her turnaround for essay reviews was so fast, and she pointed out weaknesses that I could not have noticed before. We worked together to brainstorm topics and found that my apprehension to share deep parts of myself was hindering my narrative. It took some time (thank goodness for unlimited edits, lol) but we came out of it with a personal statement and supplemental essays I could be proud of.

She also helped me handle the logistics around campus visits. I wanted to pay for travel costs myself from the money I'd saved up from working, and she was really methodical about which visits I should do based on the school list we built together. She even gave me a sample of questions I could ask the day of so I wouldn't be scrambling to find something to talk about!

I am pretty sure that I would not have gotten into my program without Marlee's help. I have been extremely pleased with Quad and would highly recommend any other students who struggle with interpersonal relationships choose Marlee. Her enthusiasm and zest is hard to brush off, in the absolute best way possible.

Since I was in middle school, it's been my dream to attend an Ivy league school. Quad Education has helped me realize this dream, and for that I couldn't have been more grateful. I'm going to Columbia on a scholarship. The feeling is indescribable, thank you Quad Education.

Navigating the college application process initially seemed scary and unfamiliar, especially as one of the first among my family to apply. I didn't have anyone I could ask questions to, and I feel like my high school guidance counselor wasn't much help either. I started researching resources and guides I could use to get a better handle on what I needed to do, and stumbled across Quad's downloadable College Admissions Guide. I loved how everything was laid out and clear, and it inspired me to click around the website more. When I found a button for a free consultation, I went for it! The consultation was great, and I got to choose between two counselors they thought would suit my needs best. I went with Rachel! From the outset Rachel's genuine interest in my application's success shone through every meeting we had. Throughout the admissions journey, Rachel provided unwavering support. From meticulously refining my Common App activities list to tirelessly iterating through supplemental essay drafts, she remained my rock. We worked together to showcase my most meaningful experiences, and we came up with a solid personal statement linking my contributions to my community to my goal of becoming a historian. While I know my name may not go down in history books, I want to ensure my contributions to the world around me make a lasting impact. In essence, Rachel's consulting played an indispensable role in my journey. Her guidance was instrumental in helping me get accepted to Yale University and Stanford! I can't thank her and Quad Education enough for all of the wonderful advice they've given, and the skills they've helped me build which I will carry with me through college and beyond!

We started working with Quad Education when my son was in 9th grade, and it's one of the best choices we ever made. The college profile development program ultimately led to his acceptance at three Ivy League schools and just over $30K in scholarship awards; the journey to get there is what I think was really special, though! I was taking on double shifts at the time to earn extra money to fund him going to college, and the lack of energy and time to help him through high school was the trade-off. At first, I found mentoring and admissions consulting to be quite pricey, but my wife convinced me that it would be nice for him to have someone to lean on besides us. We were matched with Rohan, who was always on time and two steps ahead of what my son could be doing to improve his standing and explore his interests. At its core, that is really what this program is: a way for kids to get to know themselves better, dive into their passions, and grow the skills they'll need for college and life on their own. Rohan never pressured my son or made him feel fearful that he was doing the wrong things or not enough things to get into a top school. Instead, he positioned it all as an exploration and opportunities for self-growth and betterment. I can't tell you how special it is to have someone there for your child constantly supporting them and inspiring them to take things a day at a time and be the very best they can be!! Rohan always kept me informed of what my son was up to, and together they helped him secure a Bank of America internship. This paid opportunity allowed him to learn the value of making his own money while gaining leadership skills and leaning into his desire to better the community around him. Along with that, my shy boy came out of his shell so much that he even founded his own hobby club at his high school, the Lego Club. He's always been so into them and it was heart-warming to watch him create a safe space for his peers to create and destress. The academic advising portion was also instrumental in helping him stay on track with his coursework. Rohan suggested other academic enrichment opportunities in our area and online he could use to further challenge himself over holidays and summers, things we didn't even know existed! If you want to see your child gain the confidence and skills they need to develop into a fully-fledged adult ready to take on the world, I'd wholeheartedly recommend Quad. We've already recommended them to all the members of our PTA group!

So grateful that I moved forward with Quad Education!

One of the other parent's on my son's soccer team actually recommended Quad Education to me!

Navigating the college application process can be overwhelming, but Darryl made it seamless. He provided step-by-step guidance as I applied to Stanford, helping me stay organized and on track with deadlines. I felt confident knowing I had his support every step of the way.

Quad Education helped me organize my extracurriculars and common app like a pro! Big thanks to Cole for helping me through a stressful time.

Josef meticulously planned out my courses and extracurricular activities, providing unwavering support and attention to detail. His unique strategic approach was pivotal in my admission to UPenn, Venderbilt, and other top schools.

Quad Education has played a pivotal role in shaping my academic journey. Their comprehensive approach to academic skill development, supplemented by exploration of interests through coursework, has enriched my learning experience and played a huge hand in making my applocation to UChicago more competitive.

Quad Education is more than just a college prep service; it's a transformative journey. I've already recommended their services to all of my parent-friends in the neighborhood after they helped my son get into Yale.

At the start of the college application cycle, we booked a call with Quad Education to learn more about the company and how they could help my daughter succeed. My husband and I really enjoyed that the initial call was not at all about just selling us something. Quad took the time to answer our questions about the college admissions process and how things generally work. As a parent, this conversation was an eye-opener to how competitive the landscape is and all the work that is required to apply (it's been many years since I've had to go through the process myself and clearly, things have changed). We'd booked free calls before with other consulting firms, but I always left meetings feeling like I was just another source of income for these companies, Quad didn't make me feel that way. I actually had to bring up prices myself! I was super impressed that they had already reviewed the information I wrote and had follow-up questions to ask my child about her goals, dreams, and interests. We, of course, decided to work with Quad, and it's the best choice we could have made. We were matched with Josef, who may be one of the most intelligent men I've ever met. Josef provided invaluable input on my daughter's personal statement and supplemental essays. Everything was truly unlimited as Quad states—they care about your child and about their work. His timely reviews and constructive feedback allowed her to effectively manage time constraints, ensuring each essay received the attention it deserved. Josef recognized the unique aspects of my profile, and offered insightful suggestions for crafting compelling narratives across various essay prompts, often illuminating connections she and I hadn't considered. These themes became joyous dinner-table conversations and she began to eagering look forward to meeting with him, despite her initial apprehension about getting outside help on her applications. His advice and my daughter's hard work paid off—she was accepted to nine of the ten schools she applied to, and ultimately chose to attend the University of Pennsylvania, staying close enough to me and her dad that could visit us on weekends if she felt like it. From one parent to another who may be reading this, I wholeheartedly recommend Quad Education. The thought and care that went into working with my daughter was exactly what we'd been looking for.
