Quad Education has provided excellent consulting services during the application process. Our consultant, Corey, is highly professional and has done an exceptional job in editing essays. Additionally, they demonstrate superb organization in timeline management and planning. We wholeheartedly recommend their services.

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.

Working on my Brown University application with Zaid was fun and productive. He is very easy to work with.

Excellent support from a knowledgeable team! Can't wait to begin my Yale journey!

My child benefited from the feedback and coaching.

Naiara was genuinely invested in my success from day one. Her compassion and expertise made me feel relieved as we worked through the process together.

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.

David provided invaluable support in my college search journey. He not only helped me navigate application building but also provided insights into the unique vibes of all the Ivy League schools I was applying to.

David's professionalism and expertise were evident in every interaction. His responsiveness and dedication ensured that my child's applications were polished and compelling, making the entire process smoother and more manageable. It's every parent's dream to see their children succeed, and my heart is full of pride as they start their journey at Harvard.

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.

Thanks to Nick, handling college applications was a breeze.

Quad's application support program was worth every dime I paid for it. As I write this review, my daughter is upstairs packing her bags for her first year at WashU in St. Louis. As a parent, it's bittersweet. But I'm so happy for her, and grateful to Quad Education for giving her the world.

Quad is ready to get the job done from the moment you start working with them! However, they never rushed through anything or made my son feel overwhelmed by all he had to do. The project tracker they came up with had all of the schools my son wanted to apply to, with dates and deadlines for when he should have all his documents ready.

Kayla went above and beyond to make sure we knew what was going on at every step and I never felt confused or out of the loop! The kickoff call reassured us we were in good hands. Kayla asked high-level questions about my son's experiences and everything he's accomplished so far, as well as what he was looking for from the college experience.

While everything about working with Kayla was great, I want to really dig into the scholarship application support Quad offers. I highly suggest all parents take advantage of this service. At first, I wasn't sure that applying to so many scholarships was worth the time and effort, and I didn't have a lot of extra time to spend helping my child read through his essays. Kayla laid out a checklist he could use, and helped organize his documents, transcripts, and essays in one spot so he could easily pull what he needed for any application.

The scholarship essay editing is not a whirlwind process with just a few edits here and there that we probably could have done ourselves. Instead, her notes and suggestions were thoughtful, comprehensive, and worked to strengthen the stories my son wanted to tell. Thanks to her efforts, my son felt confident in applying to many scholarships despite balancing his part time job, role as student council vice president, and his guitar lessons—he ended up winning an ASTOUNDING 80K in winnings. The ROI on working with Quad is astounding, and I can't thank Kayla enough for helping him make his journey to the University of Pennsylvania smoother!!

MIT has been my dream school for years, but I knew passion alone wouldn't get me in. That's where Darryl came in. His many years of admissions experience was evident in every interaction we had. His advice was insightful and doable--thank you!

We connected with Quad early in the summer before my daughter began her senior year. While hesitant at first, I went into the free consultation with an open mind. It was nice to speak to someone with so much knowledge regarding the college admissions process. The Quad representative we spoke to had taken the time to actually read what my daughter had written before the call, and I was pleasantly surprised by their follow-up questions.

Afterwards, we were matched with Jennifer. From our very first conversation, I was struck by her warmth and conversational ease. She provided invaluable insights into the admissions journey, immediately delving into the unique aspects of my daughter's background and offering advice on how to best represent herself in the admissions cycle.

Reflecting on the process, I can confidently say that enlisting Jennifer's expertise was a decision I'll always value. With firsthand experience in admissions committees at Harvard and WashU in St. Louis, Jennifer possessed an intimate understanding of top schools' perspectives and preferences. Her insights into potential application weaknesses and strengths were instrumental in devising a compelling application strategy for the schools my daughter targeted.
Jennifer also invested time in understanding my daughter's passions and motivations, leveraging a thorough brainstorming process to unearth key aspects of how to position her application narrative. Her creative suggestions transformed the typically daunting essay-writing task into an enjoyable endeavor for her--we had multiple conversations at home about what they'd been working on and I was happy to see her so pumped up throughout the process.

She served as an invaluable thought partner throughout the application journey. Whenever we encountered challenges in articulating my daughter's ideas, she promptly provided guidance and fresh perspectives, streamlining the essay-writing process and ensuring efficiency. Quad isn't about just punctuation, grammar, and run-of-the-mill edits; they help transform student essays into a work of art while keeping the integrity of the narrative!

The absolute best part of this whole partnership was Jennifer's availability throughout the process. Whenever myself or my daughter had a quick question or concern, she always promptly responded through email or suggested a time for that day or next for a quick call.

Jennifer's assistance resulted in my daughter securing more than $20,000 in scholarship winnings and acceptance to 7 schools, including Brown University!

Quad Education has been instrumental in shaping my academic journey, and it paid off! Their comprehensive approach to academic skill development and exploration of interests through supplemental coursework has truly enhanced my learning experience. The guidance provided for participation in prestigious competitions and conferences has opened doors to incredible opportunities.

Harley's guidance and support were exceptional throughout the entire college application process. We originally sought Quad's support for my son, who was really nervous about writing his personal statements and essays! I'd like to highlight some of the things that we really loved that might help other parents with kids getting ready for college make a good choice:

Authentic Storytelling: Before coming to Quad, my son Daniel had no idea what he was going to write about or how to approach these essays. Harley's approach prioritized authenticity over conforming to a perceived "ideal candidate" mold that a lot of sources seem to market. Through insightful questioning and attentive listening, he helped Daniel uncover significant experiences that formed the foundation of his college applications.

Concise, Almost-Immediate Communication: We had a question? Harley was there to answer it, even at odd times of the day. My son needed an essay edited? It was turned around within two days, just as Quad says.

Direct and Supportive Feedback: Harley's feedback was consistently constructive and actionable. Each draft Daniel submitted received concrete suggestions for improvement, reflecting his unwavering commitment to my son's success. He always provided timely and personalized attention, fostering a supportive and encouraging environment throughout the application process.

Fair Price: When we were shopping around, I was appalled by the pricing for hourly admission consulting, and one of my friends told me that he and his daughter tried a firm that would just charge hourly for even just a few edits on a page. Not ideal. Quad's packages are actually unlimited, meaning it didn't matter price-wise how long it took Daniel to be happy with everything, which is exactly what we needed.

Harley also extended his editing skills to help my son with some scholarship applications, a lot of the essays for merit-based seem to be similar, so we were able to reuse them a couple of times. In turn, he won more than $54,000 in awards and got accepted to Princeton University! That's more than double what we paid for Quad's help.

I knew from the get-go that Quad Education could really get us results! Right from the kickoff call, Jennifer was easy to reach and always on time to all counseling sessions with my daughter.

Thanks to Jennifer's guidance, my daughter secured a full-ride scholarship to Duke University as a Trinity Scholar! She was also accepted to Cornell and Yale, but the appeal of a fully-funded college experience was too great to pass up. Lots of work went into helping her get there. Here are a few things we really loved about Quad:

Direct and Honest Feedback: During our first meeting, Jennifer offered candid feedback on my daughter's profile and provided realistic assessments of my prospects at target schools. Her approach remained consistent throughout the process, and I trusted her feedback becauseI knew she truly had my daughter's best interest at heart.

Easy to Connect With: Despite not meeting Jennifer in person, her open and transparent communication made it easy to build rapport and feel comfortable working together. She showed genuine interest in my daughter's academic goals, personal life, and extracurriculars, identifying strengths and attributes we hadn't previously recognized.

Addressing Application Narrative Gaps: Jennifer identified areas of improvement early on, prompting my daughter to dig deep into her most meaningful experiences to refine her story.

Admissions Committee Panel Review: The adcom panel was SO helpful in giving my daughter the confidence to click “submit” on her application!! Having more eyes on your child's work just means another layer of security and confidence; if you work with Quad, I HIGHLY suggest taking advantage of that offering.

Interview Prep That Works: Jennifer not only prepared my daughter for alumni college interviews BUT also helped her practice for the Trinity Scholars interview! We were so shocked that Jennifer knew so much about Duke that she identified most of the questions my daughter was actually asked in the real thing.

Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend Jennifer to any student striving to maximize their potential. Her impact on my journey cannot be overstated, and I am confident she can help others achieve similar success. Thank you so much to Jennifer and Quad for everything you've done for our family!! Well-worth the investment.

Quad Education's guidance was targeted and most certainly moved the needle for me. No doubt I they were the reason I got into Stanford and Harvard.
