While we are thrilled with our children's college outcomes, including acceptances to Ivy League schools, we are even more grateful for the time we spent working with Marlee at Quad Education and for the steady, supportive guidance she provided throughout the process. The final results were never fully within our control, but the process was, and Marlee ensured it was handled with care, clarity, and intention. Thank you for helping my kids get accepted to Yale and Princeton!

We started working with Krystal during the summer before senior year, and it was the perfect timing. Krystal immediately got to work understanding our daughter's goals, strengths, and the story she wanted to tell through her applications. The persona assessment was incredibly insightful and helped us see our daughter through the lens of an admissions officer. Krystal helped her develop a school list that balanced reach, target, and safety options while staying true to what she wanted in a college experience. The essay process was intensive but so worthwhile. Krystal pushed our daughter to write with honesty and vulnerability, which resulted in a personal statement that truly captured who she is. The supplemental essays were equally strong, each one tailored to the specific school. The panel review gave us such peace of mind knowing that experienced professionals had vetted everything before submission. Our daughter was accepted to Cornell, USC, and University of Virginia. She chose UVA and is thriving there now as a first-year student. Krystal stayed in touch even after decisions came out, helping our daughter make her final choice. The level of care and expertise Quad provides is unmatched. This was worth every dollar we invested.

Rachel made the entire college application process so much less stressful. Her guidance on my UC applications was spot-on, and she helped me craft essays that actually sounded like me. I got into UCLA, UC Berkeley, and UCSD! The persona assessment at the beginning really helped me understand how to present myself authentically. Highly recommend Quad to anyone applying to competitive schools.

Krystal was an incredible support throughout the chaos of college application season. She helped me stay calm, organized, and on top of deadlines during an extremely busy senior year, and she played a huge role in helping me gain admission to my top-choice college - I got accepted to Brown University! Along the way, I learned valuable skills like time management, balancing long-term projects, and looking at my experiences from a broader perspective. She was always responsive and came prepared with tons of helpful resources for essay writing. That level of support and organization allowed me to stay focused on both my schoolwork and my applications without feeling overwhelmed.

I truly can't say enough about the value of my son's experience with Quad Education. My son, Matthew, is a bright and thoughtful student who has always marched to the beat of his own drum. During his junior and senior years, he wasn't excited about college at all, and as a parent, I started to worry about what his future might look like. The counselors at Quad Education really took the time to get to know Matthew. They introduced him to college options that genuinely sparked his interest and helped him see college as something exciting rather than intimidating. Even more importantly, they suggested schools that actually fit who he is. Matthew isn't motivated by academic competition, and he would not have been happy at an Ivy League school. Quad understood that. Beyond helping him write a strong college essay, they guided him toward colleges where he would feel inspired and supported, places where his interests would be valued. In the end, Matthew chose Ithaca College, and he is already loving his classes, his professors, and his dorm mates. What I appreciate most about Quad Education is that they don't push every student toward the same “top” schools. They focus on getting to know your child and helping them find a college where they will truly grow and thrive. Matthew's outlook on his future has completely changed because of this experience, and for that, I am incredibly grateful.

Selecting a college admissions consultant is an important decision. After extensive research and several interviews, we chose Quad Education based on its strong reputation and excellent reviews. Our conversation with Elgin ultimately confirmed that choice, and her guidance and support throughout the process have been greatly appreciated.

Quad Education was super helpful during my UC application, especially with feedback and encouragement. My counselor Li gave really thoughtful comments and suggestions, particularly on my PIQs, which made a huge difference. Thank you so much!!!

Working with Varna at Quad Education was a game changer for my applications. She helped me brainstorm essay ideas, really dig into what I wanted to say, and stay way ahead of deadlines. Because of her support, my applications truly felt like me. I had amazing results - 10 acceptances, including Duke, UNC, Dartmouth, and Columbia - and can't recommend her enough!

My advisor, Carmen, has had an incredible impact on my life. She started working with me when I was a sophomore in high school and helped me prepare to get into what I thought was my dream university. With her guidance and the support of Quad Education, I was accepted and began what I thought was the perfect next chapter. When I later realized that school wasn't actually the right fit for me, Carmen never stepped away. She stayed by my side through the entire transfer process, which was honestly one of the hardest things I've done. Applying to new schools while still attending one you know you want to leave is not easy, but she supported me every step of the way, both practically and emotionally.

Maria was incredible!!! She was thoughtful and brought a clearly experienced perspective to the college admissions process, which made a meaningful difference in my son's application. I would highly recommend others take advantage of the opportunity to work with such an outstanding counselor!!

Our son worked with Samir, who guided him with patience and encouragement throughout the process. His support helped elevate his confidence and creativity, allowing him to pursue a university that truly fit him! As parents, we're obviously thrilled that it's an Ivy League school as well.

I enrolled my daughter with Quad Education during her junior year of high school, and we had a wonderful experience working with the team, especially Shannon, who supported my daughter every step of the way. Shannon guided her not only as a counselor, but also as a mentor and trusted support throughout the college application process.I am incredibly grateful to Shannon and the entire Quad Education team!

Alex made essay writing actually enjoyable, which I didn't think was possible. The guidance was practical and encouraging. I got into my top choice, Wesleyan, plus several other great schools! Quad's approach is comprehensive without being overwhelming. Alex helped me find my voice and present my best self. So happy with how everything turned out!

Working with our Quad Education counselor Scyatta was an incredibly valuable experience. Her guidance and steady support throughout the college application process helped our child stay focused and work confidently toward his academic goals. With Quad Education's support, he also improved his ACT score by 6 points, which made a real difference in his applications. Scyatta made the entire journey, from early planning to finally submitting applications, feel smooth and manageable instead of overwhelming. Because of her expertise, our child was able to hit the “submit” button with confidence. That confidence paid off with multiple strong acceptances, including an Ivy League school, which we are incredibly proud of. He ultimately chose the University of Chicago! As parents, we were also grateful that Scyatta's involvement allowed us to maintain a positive and supportive relationship with our child during what can be a very emotional transition. We could step back from the stress and simply be present, and for that, we are deeply thankful!

Steven gave me the best advice on how to approach my essays authentically. I was trying too hard to sound impressive, and he helped me realize my real story was enough. Ended up getting into Dartmouth and Williams with his help. The Quad process is thorough and really prepares you for every part of the application. Definitely recommend!

We're so grateful for the support Erica at Quad Education gave our son throughout the college application process. She had a great way of guiding and encouraging him while still making sure the work was truly his. He put a lot of time and effort into his essays and applications, and Erica's steady presence helped him stay focused and confident when things felt overwhelming. Erica was always quick to respond when we had questions and gave us really helpful advice on how to support him without stepping in too much. That balance made a big difference. It allowed our son to take real ownership of the process while knowing he wasn't doing it alone. In the end, his hard work paid off with several strong acceptances, including an Ivy League school. We're incredibly proud of him and thankful to Erica for being such an important part of this milestone for our family.

Quad Education helped me figure out which colleges to apply to and significantly improve my applications overall. I especially want to shout out my counselor, Garry, who really helped me narrow down my list and showed me how to maximize my chances of getting in. Garry was kind, effective, and honestly just cool to work with. He made the whole process feel way more manageable and even enjoyable at times. I credit him with helping me get accepted to Dartmouth College, Yale University, and the University of Chicago!

I worked with Steven throughout my entire application season and honestly can't imagine going through this process without him. I'm not naturally a strong writer, so I was really stressed about the personal statement and all the supplemental essays. Steven helped me find my voice and tell my story in a way that felt authentic. We went through probably fifteen drafts of my main essay, and he never made me feel bad about needing that many revisions. He just kept pushing me to dig deeper and be more specific. The panel review was clutch. Getting feedback from actual former admissions officers helped me see my application through their eyes. They suggested I restructure my activities list and reframe one of my supplementals for Stanford, which I think made a huge difference. I ended up getting into Stanford, Michigan, and USC. I'm heading to Stanford and still kind of in shock about it. Steven also prepped me for interviews, which helped me feel way more confident going into those conversations. If you want someone who genuinely cares about your success and knows what they're doing, Steven is your guy. Worth every bit of the cost.

The essay review team and resource team help make things move a lot faster

I worked with Milyna throughout my application process and she was incredible. I'm a first-generation college student and my parents didn't really understand how competitive admissions had become or what schools were even looking for. Milyna took the time to educate all of us and made sure we understood each step of the process. She helped me identify schools that were realistic reaches and also made sure I had solid target and safety options. The essay coaching was transformative. My first draft of my personal statement was honestly pretty bad, but Milyna saw potential in it and helped me refine it into something I'm really proud of. We also worked on supplemental essays for each school, making sure each one was tailored and specific. The interview prep Milyna provided was also super helpful. I felt confident and prepared going into every interview. I ended up getting into Northwestern, Vanderbilt, and UNC Chapel Hill with a scholarship. I chose Northwestern and move in next month. None of this would have been possible without Milyna's guidance and Quad's comprehensive support. The panel review also gave me so much confidence that my applications were as strong as they could be. I'm so grateful for this experience.
