Working with Anne was great! She helped me find the strongest parts of my background to show to admissions committees. She was also really patient and was willing to be flexible with my schedule!!

I would give Quad 10 stars if I could. They really helped my child build the confidence she needed to apply to college.

I came to Quad during junior year feeling completely overwhelmed by the whole college process. My counselor Chris broke everything down into manageable steps and never made me feel behind. I honestly don't think I would have told my story as well without Chris guiding me through it.

Our family worked with Emily during what I can only describe as one of the most stressful years of our lives. My son is a talented kid but he tends to downplay himself, and Emily had this wonderful way of drawing out his accomplishments without making him feel like he was bragging. The supplemental essays for his top three schools went through multiple rounds of careful revision. He was admitted to UPenn! Emily is exceptional at what she does.

They do keep parents in the loop but I was tired of how many emails I was getting

I applied to college with pretty high ambitions and not a lot of direction on how to actually get there. Shannon was a consistent and calm mentor throughout the entire process.

Jim walked us through everything from strategy to interview prep with real patience. He helped our son reframe his background in chess and community theater as a compelling story. Our son was accepted to Cornell and Vanderbilt.

I worked with Justin through the whole application cycle and I genuinely don't know how I would have done it without him. The panel review was something I hadn't expected to matter so much, but the feedback from former admissions officers gave me a confidence boost right when I needed it most. Thank you!!!

We were honestly skeptical about hiring a college counseling service, but our counselor helped our daughter craft a personal statement that actually captured who she is, not just what she'd accomplished. The investment was absolutely worth it.

As a parent, I was skeptical that any counseling service could genuinely move the needle for my daughter's applications. My fears turned out to not matter though. Quad and our counselor did a great job.

Pretty pricey. It was a lot of money. Good results but I don't like the price.

Gabriel was my counselor and I honestly can't say enough good things. I'm a student athlete and I had a really hard time figuring out how to write about something other than sports without feeling fake. Gabriel helped me find a voice that was authentically mine--still connected to athletics but showing a broader picture of who I am. He also prepped me for alumni interviews, which ended up going way better than I expected. I was admitted to Johns Hopkins and waitlisted at Princeton, which given my profile felt like a real win. The Quad process is thorough and demanding but in the best way. Gabriel made the hard work feel worth it.

My son worked with Ryan at Quad and we are so grateful for the experience. Ryan was incredibly responsive. I think he replied to emails faster than anyone I've ever worked with professionally. He helped my son craft a personal statement around a topic that felt risky, and he guided him through it with confidence and skill. The panel review process was one of the things that set Quad apart; having multiple former admissions officers review everything felt like a genuine competitive advantage. My son was admitted to Carnegie Mellon and the University of Virginia. As a parent who went through admissions decades ago, I was amazed at how much more sophisticated the process has become and how essential good guidance is.

I was a first-generation college student with no idea how the admissions process worked. Nathan took me under his wing and explained everything from scratch without ever making me feel behind. He helped me write supplemental essays for eight schools and pushed me to be more specific and vulnerable in my writing than I ever thought I could be. I got into Cornell and UC Berkeley, and honestly still can't believe it. What stood out about Quad was that it never felt like a factory. Nathan genuinely cared about where I ended up and why. This process was one of the hardest things I've done, and I couldn't have gotten through it without his support.

Eli at Quad helped me get into Harvard and I still have trouble believing I'm typing those words. I came in with strong stats but had no idea how to make my application feel human and personal. Eli helped me find the thread that connected everything I had done and cared about, and then he helped me pull that thread through every essay and interview answer. The panel review was a pivotal moment-- hearing reactions from multiple former admissions officers made me realize what was working and what needed more specificity. Eli never let me settle for good enough. He pushed for great every single time. Forever grateful.

I was a junior with no clear direction when I started with Quad. Lena helped me find focus. Through the persona assessment, I figured out what actually mattered to me and how that connected to what I wanted from college. That clarity shaped everything --my school list, my essays, even how I talked about myself in interviews. Lena was always honest with me when something wasn't working, which I appreciated more than empty encouragement. I applied to thirteen schools and got into seven, including Tufts and the University of Wisconsin. The process was hard but I never felt alone in it. I'd tell any junior to start with Quad before you're already overwhelmed.

As a parent I was skeptical of college counseling services but a colleague whose child got into MIT through Quad convinced me to try it. Delali was assigned to my daughter and I understood the hype immediately. She was sharp, warm, and remarkably skilled at translating my daughter's chaotic list of interests into a clear, compelling narrative. The persona assessment was a real turning point -- it helped my daughter articulate her identity in a way she had never done before. She got into Johns Hopkins and Georgetown. Delali was a true partner through every step of this process. We are deeply grateful.

As a student going through this process, I was stressed out of my mind junior year. A friend recommended Quad and I'm so glad I listened. My counselor Varna was like having a guide who actually knew the terrain. She helped me understand what made me unique through the persona assessment, which I honestly think changed how I wrote every single essay. My supplemental essays for Yale and Duke went through so many drafts and she never made me feel rushed. I got into Duke with a merit scholarship I wasn't even expecting. Quad is worth every penny for real.
