I can't say enough good things about Rica and the entire Quad team. The panel review process caught things we never would have noticed on our own. My daughter's applications were polished and compelling. She was accepted to Brown, Vanderbilt, and Georgetown. Rica's essay coaching especially helped her stand out. So grateful for this experience!

Toby was my counselor at Quad and I want to shout it from the rooftops. I went in thinking I knew how to write and he taught me that knowing how to write and knowing how to write a college essay are very different things. He asked hard questions, pushed me to be vulnerable, and helped me find the version of my story that was actually interesting to an admissions reader. The interview prep was also incredibly useful--I felt prepared and confident. I was accepted to Rice University and Tufts. Toby's guidance was precise and his encouragement was genuine. I could not have done it without him.

Shasta helped me find my story when I felt like I had nothing interesting to write about. Her approach to brainstorming was creative and really drew out details I didn't realize mattered. I got into MIT early action, which was my dream school! The interview prep Quad provided also made a huge difference in my confidence going into alumni interviews.

Ashrita was my counselor and I want to give the most specific review I can because Quad deserves it. She helped me write a personal statement about a topic I was afraid to touch--a period of mental health struggles in my sophomore year and she guided me through it with such care that the final essay was honest without being heavy. It was the piece of my application I'm most proud of. I also did interview prep with her and felt genuinely ready. I got into Tulane and the University of Illinois, and I'm on the waitlist at Northwestern. The Quad process is demanding but Ashrita made every hard moment feel like it was leading somewhere. It was.

Before starting test prep with Eric, I never would have imagined actually looking forward to my prep sessions each week, but Eric completely changed that! He was so much fun to work with and incredibly encouraging throughout the process. My scores increased by 270 points, and I'm still waiting on the results from my most recent test

My tutor, Randee, was the kindest, most understanding, and most helpful person I could have hoped to work with. She was an incredible help with ACT prep and successfully helped me raise my score by several points. Randee made me feel comfortable making mistakes, learning from them, and ultimately reaching the score I was aiming for. I would highly recommend Randee to anyone looking for tutoring. She is extremely knowledgeable and creates such a positive, encouraging environment in every lesson.

We feel incredibly fortunate to have Rachel as our counselor! She has been not only a guide for our children, but also a trusted friend to our entire family. Through her dedication, genuine care, patience, insight, and understanding, she was able to truly connect with our teenage boys at a stage when they are often difficult to reach. Rachel transformed what could have been a stressful college application process into a meaningful journey of self-discovery and growth, one filled with excitement, confidence, and even joy. She has far exceeded everything we ever hoped for in a counselor, and we truly believe she will remain a lifelong mentor to our children. We are also deeply grateful to the warm, supportive team at Quad Education for providing families like ours with such outstanding guidance and care!

As a first-generation student applying to college in the U.S., the process felt incredibly confusing at first. Robin and Quad Education broke everything down in a way that made it manageable and empowering. That support helped me gain acceptance to my dream school, and I'm so thankful.

Trinh was absolutely wonderful! She helped my daughter craft essays that were genuine and compelling. The persona assessment early on really helped guide the entire application strategy. My daughter was accepted to Pomona College and Claremont McKenna, both reaches for her. Trinh's expertise and the support from Quad's team made all the difference in her outcomes.

Working with Elgin was the best decision we made during application season. He understood the nuances of what makes an application stand out and helped my son craft a cohesive narrative across all his materials. Accepted to Stanford and Northwestern! Quad's support was comprehensive and their counselors really know their stuff. We're so thankful for Elgin's guidance.

Working with Yashvi as a college counselor was a dream come true. She was consistently positive, incredibly helpful, and a joy to meet with. I even got into my top-choice school - Cornell!! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone considering college admissions support.

Keran at Quad helped me transform what I thought was a boring application into something I was genuinely proud of. I didn't have a dramatic story or unusual extracurricular. I was just a kid who loved computer science and math. Keran helped me find the specific details and moments within that passion that made me interesting rather than generic. She was also great at helping me prioritize when I was stressed and trying to do too much at once. I got into Georgia Tech and the University of Texas at Austin, both of which have incredible CS programs. The panel review gave my parents peace of mind, which honestly helped reduce the pressure on me too. Quad was exactly what I needed.

I GOT INTO COLUMBIA! I worked with Zoe throughout the college admissions process, and I honestly can't say enough good things about her. She kept me on track with my supplemental essays by setting clear deadlines, helped me narrow down my school list, and gave me great starting points for finding schools that actually felt like a good fit, especially when I wasn't sure what I wanted yet. Even with everything going on during senior year, I was almost never stressed about college. Our meetings were super productive, whether we were planning next steps or getting through all the Common App details. I was accepted to my ED1 school, Columbia, and I felt completely prepared when I submitted my application, which I definitely owe to Zoe's support every step of the way.

Karla helped my daughter navigate the college process with grace and expertise. She was accepted to Harvard, which we honestly didn't think was possible before working with Quad. The persona assessment helped us understand how to frame her extracurriculars and accomplishments. Karla's essay coaching was phenomenal - she pushed my daughter to dig deeper and be more vulnerable in her writing.

James was an incredible counselor who understood my son's strengths and helped him position himself effectively across all his applications. The strategic approach Quad takes is unmatched - from the persona assessment to the final submission. He was admitted to Yale, Princeton, and Stanford. We truly believe James's guidance made the difference in such a competitive year.

We had a wonderful experience working with Anna at Quad Education. She was a steady source of support for our child throughout the application season and kept us informed every step of the way. Her meticulous approach and positive influence made a lasting impression on our family, and we will always be grateful for her guidance. Thank you for helping my child start her college journey on the right foot at MIT!

Jennifer was patient, insightful, and always available when we had questions. My son struggled with his Common App essay until she helped him reframe his entire approach. The difference was night and day. He ended up getting into Northwestern and USC with merit scholarships! The investment in Quad was absolutely worth every penny.

My son is not a natural writer and the thought of the personal statement terrified our whole family. From the first session with Erica, that anxiety started to lift. She had a gift for drawing out his real story and helping him shape it into something powerful. The process was methodical but also deeply personal. We went through the panel review and the feedback was so specific and actionable--it was clear these were people who had sat on the other side of the admissions table. He was accepted to Cornell and we are beyond proud. Quad made a real difference.

The college application process can be scary and frustrating, but having Li by my side made all the difference. I will always be grateful for her advice, encouragement, laughter, and support. Her guidance helped shape my path forward, and I truly appreciate the role Quad Education played in helping me continue my education.

I cannot recommend Quad Education and Earlanda highly enough! From our very first meeting, her kindness and professionalism immediately put me at ease, making what can be a stressful college admissions process feel far more manageable. She answered every question I had with patience and clarity, so I always felt informed and confident in my decisions. What truly set Quad Education apart was the level of insight and expertise Earlanda brought to the process. Her guidance helped me build a compelling application, choose the right schools, and approach everything with confidence. I genuinely don't think I would have felt as prepared or as successful without her support. I'm not sure if I would've gotten accepted to Columbia University without her!
