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!

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!

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 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.

I had an excellent experience working with Quad Education! I was connected with a great college counselor who guided me through the complex application process. He helped me discover my strengths and encouraged me to set high educational goals for myself. I'm beyond thankful that I had both him and Quad cheering me on during such an important time in my life.

We started off with just needing some academic advising--my child didn't know which courses to take in high school, and he needed a little more guidance. Max helped him not only select courses, but build up his fine arts portfolio, get involved in student government, and so much more. From grade 9 to grade 12, we're happy we put our trust in Quad!

My son is now attending Yale University thanks to the efforts of Rohan and Quad Education, and I couldn't be prouder. However, at the start, the process of applying to college was daunting for both me and my son. Parents always want to be the source of wisdom for their kids, and I felt defeated that I knew very little about the application process or how things work. Unfortunately, I also did not have much time to learn about things as a night-shift nurse, I can easily work 60+ hours per week, leaving little time for all the other things we need to do to keep households running smoothly. Initially, I was super skeptical about admissions consulting firms. I didn't really understand the value in paying an exorbitant price for outside help. However, as I watched my son struggle to understand the timeline and what he needed to do to get accepted, I started researching admissions consulting companies. The first one I went to was a bust, the first firm I went to matched us immediately with a counselor whose name and profile we had approved, just to tell us he was no longer taking any students when we signed the contract. Thankfully, I recovered that money, and had little interest in going to another firm when one of my co-workers recommended Quad Education. Our first call went smoothly and we were given names of prospective counselors who would be a great fit for my son based on the information he provided in a form. Rohan was precisely who we were looking for: someone with a background in medicine who could help my son navigate applying to BS/MD and pre-med programs. Rohan was always on time to every meeting, and I sat in a meeting where Rohan had reviewed my son's background and had 20 key points he thought we could turn into a personal statement and supplemental essay narratives. That level of personalization was impressive. There was never any pressure for my son to just pick a topic and rush through it, Rohan dutifully listened to everything he had to say. He even helped my son select and approach recommenders he thought would have the best perspective on his abilities, academic drive, and traits. They made something together called a "brag sheet" that illustrated the points they were trying to make. Everything bled into one another to bring about a comprehensive, complete application.

Quad Education is truly top-notch. Dominique was incredibly kind, responsive, and guided me through every step of the UC Berkeley applicationprocess. Her ongoing support even after the process was a testament to her dedication. With Quad Education's help, I was accepted into my dream school with a $24,000 in scholarships to fund my journey! 5 stars.
