I worked with my counselor and they did an amazing job of making me feel supported! He helped me plan my admissions strategy and handle all the essays I had to write.

Rachel was my son's counselor at Quad and we felt incredibly lucky to have her. She is the kind of person who makes you feel like your kid is her only client even when you know she must be working with many students. Her strategic thinking about school positioning was sharp and her essay feedback was always substantive and specific. The panel review gave us an outside perspective we really valued. My son was admitted to Colby College and American University with strong financial aid packages at both. Rachel was warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in his success. Quad exceeded every expectation we had.

Patrick worked with our daughter through the entire college process and we could not be more impressed. He's strategic in a way that felt reassuring, he knew exactly how to position her for the schools she cared about most and helped her put together a cohesive application that told a real story. The panel review was something we were particularly grateful for; it caught things we never would have noticed and the feedback was specific and actionable. Our daughter was admitted to Washington University in St. Louis and also got into her top UC choice. She starts in the fall and is more confident than ever. Patrick was a tremendous guide through what can be an incredibly stressful process.

Quad Education was a game changer for our family. My son worked with Tamar throughout his senior year and she was outstanding in every way. What stood out most was her understanding of how top schools evaluate applicants beyond grades and scores. She helped him reframe his narrative around his passion for public health in a way that felt authentic and compelling. The supplemental essays for each school were tailored and specific, never generic. He was admitted early decision to Dartmouth, which was his first choice. Tamar's expertise and genuine care made one of the most stressful processes of our lives feel manageable and even exciting.

Mary was my counselor and working with her was one of the best decisions I made during high school. I'm an athlete being recruited by several schools, and Mary helped me navigate both the athletic and academic sides of the process. She understood how to position me as both a strong athletic recruit and a serious academic candidate. We worked together on my personal statement and supplementals, making sure they highlighted my unique perspective as a student athlete without making that my entire identity. The panel review process was amazing. The former admissions officers on the panel gave me specific feedback about how to strengthen my application for each school I was applying to. Their insights were so detailed and helpful. Mary also coordinated with my coaches and made sure all the pieces of my application came together at the right time. I ended up getting into Stanford, Notre Dame, and Georgetown. I committed to Stanford and couldn't be more excited. Mary was always available when I had questions or needed advice, and she genuinely celebrated my successes with me. If you're looking for someone who knows the admissions process inside and out and truly cares about your outcome, Mary and Quad Education are the answer.

I transferred to the U.S. from abroad my junior year and had no idea how American college admissions worked. Yashvi at Quad was a lifesaver. She explained the entire system patiently, helped me understand how to present my international background as a strength, and worked with me on both my personal statement and every supplemental essay. The writing process took longer for me because English is my second language, but Yashvi never rushed me. I was admitted to NYU, UC San Diego, and Boston University. Getting into schools of that caliber as a recent transfer student from another country still feels surreal. Quad made something that seemed impossible feel completely achievable.

Our family went through Quad with our son and we cannot recommend them highly enough. Anna was his counselor and she was organized, thoughtful, and always one step ahead. She helped him build a school list that was ambitious but realistic, and the strategy she developed for presenting his interest in environmental science was brilliant. The supplemental essays were refined over multiple rounds and the improvement each time was noticeable. He was admitted to Carnegie Mellon and received a generous scholarship. Anna's attention to detail and genuine investment in his success made the entire process feel manageable. We are so thankful.

I transferred from a community college and wasn't sure how to position myself for four-year universities. Milyna at Quad completely understood the transfer process in a way that other counselors I spoke to simply didn't. She helped me present my community college experience as a strength rather than something to explain away. My personal statement focused on a pivot in my academic journey and it came out better than I ever imagined. The panel review gave me feedback that felt like it came from people who truly understood admissions. I got into UCLA and UC Santa Barbara. I am still celebrating. Thank you Milyna.

I applied to college as a homeschooled student, which comes with its own unique set of challenges in admissions. Mary helped me navigate every single one of them. She understood that my transcript looked different and helped me contextualize my education in a way that highlighted its real strengths. She coached me through supplemental essays that addressed my background without over-explaining it, which was a balance I couldn't figure out on my own. I got into the University of Rochester and Fordham University, both of which have programs I'm genuinely excited about. Mary was thoughtful, patient, and one of the most effective coaches I've ever worked with in any area of my life. Quad was absolutely worth it.

Working with Alex at Quad completely changed how I thought about my college applications. I had a tendency to write in a very academic, stiff way and Alex pushed me to be more personal and direct. It was uncomfortable at first, honestly, but the essays I ended up submitting were so much better for it. The persona assessment early in the process helped me understand what made my application unique, which gave everything a cleaner through-line. I applied to several Ivy League schools and got into Brown and Cornell. I'm still a little in shock. I also got into UCLA which had been my safety dream school. Alex was patient, rigorous, and really good at this.

Nathan was our son's counselor, and we cannot say enough good things about him and the entire Quad team. From day one, Nathan was organized, communicative, and strategic. He created a timeline for us that broke down every task and deadline, which was so helpful for keeping our son on track. The persona assessment helped identify themes and qualities that became central to his applications. Nathan really understood what makes each school unique and helped our son craft supplements that spoke directly to what each admissions committee wanted to see. The personal statement went through many revisions, but Nathan was patient and encouraging throughout the entire process. What really gave us confidence was the panel review. Having multiple former admissions officers review everything before submission meant we knew we were putting our son's best foot forward. He was accepted to Duke, Rice, and Johns Hopkins. He'll be attending Johns Hopkins to study public health. Nathan also helped him prepare for scholarship interviews, and he ended up receiving a substantial merit award. The return on investment has been remarkable. We tell every parent we know about Quad Education because the results speak for themselves.

Kadie was our son's counselor and she was simply outstanding. From the moment they started working together, she had a clear vision for how to position him and helped him find angles in his application that made him stand out. The panel review process was something we hadn't seen at any other service having a group of former admissions officers critique the full application gave us so much confidence going into decisions. Our son was admitted Early Decision to Duke, which had been his dream school since middle school. The whole family is grateful. Kadie is thoughtful, experienced, and genuinely invested in her students. Highly recommend Quad to any family navigating this process.

Working with Emily at Quad was honestly a joy in what could have been a miserable process. She kept me grounded when I was spiraling about deadlines and helped me see my application as a whole picture rather than a collection of separate pieces. Her feedback on my essays was always direct but kind. She pushed me to go deeper and be more specific every single time. The panel review caught things I never would have noticed on my own. I was accepted to Emory University and Washington University in St. Louis. Emily made me feel like my story was worth telling, and it was.

As a parent, I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible support our daughter received from Quad Education. From the very beginning, Rachel took the time to understand not just our daughter's academic achievements, but who she truly is as a person. The persona assessment was eye-opening and helped us identify strengths we hadn't even considered highlighting. What really set Quad apart was the panel review process. Having multiple former admissions officers evaluate her applications before submission gave us such peace of mind. They caught things we never would have noticed and provided insights into what each specific school was looking for. Our daughter was accepted to Brown, Northwestern, and UCLA. She'll be attending Brown in the fall, and we genuinely don't think she would have gotten in without Quad's guidance. The investment was significant, but seeing her open that acceptance letter made every penny worth it. Rachel was always responsive, encouraging, and honest with us throughout the process. She celebrated the wins and helped us navigate the disappointments. If you're on the fence about hiring a counselor, just do it. Quad Education transformed what could have been an overwhelming, stressful experience into something manageable and ultimately successful.

Steven helped me through one of the most overwhelming experiences of my life and I am so grateful. I applied to a competitive list of schools and had no idea how to differentiate my applications for each one. He taught me that every supplemental essay is an opportunity to answer the question the school is really asking, not just the one on the page. That shift in thinking changed everything. My essays got sharper, more specific, and more me with every session. I was accepted to Notre Dame and Tulane. The scholarship I received from Tulane was an added bonus I wasn't expecting. Thank you Steven and Quad.

Our family worked with Julie and we couldn't be happier. She was organized, thoughtful, and really took the time to understand our daughter's goals. The adcom review panel caught several areas where we could strengthen the application. She got into Columbia and UChicago! Julie made what could have been a stressful process actually enjoyable.

We were honestly lost when it came to the college application process. My daughter had great grades but no idea how to present herself. That all changed when we found Quad Education. Her counselor Orli was phenomenal--patient, insightful, and incredibly strategic. She helped my daughter craft a personal statement that genuinely captured who she is, not just a list of accomplishments. The panel review was something we never expected: multiple former admissions officers weighing in on the application before submission. That level of feedback is unmatched anywhere else we looked. My daughter was accepted to Northwestern and UC Berkeley. We are so grateful we found Quad when we did.

I was so anxious about college applications until I started working with Allan. He made everything feel manageable and helped me showcase my strengths effectively. Got into UC Berkeley and UCLA! His feedback was always constructive and specific. The Quad process is structured but flexible enough to meet you where you are. Allan was wonderful to work with.

We hired Quad after our older child went through the process without guidance and we saw how chaotic it was. The difference with our younger daughter was night and day. Trinh was her counselor and she was absolutely exceptional. She conducted the persona assessment early on and it helped frame every piece of the application in a cohesive way. The panel review gave us so much confidence going into submission. Our daughter applied to several top schools and was accepted to Vanderbilt and UC San Diego with scholarship offers at both. Trinh's dedication went far beyond what we expected from any service.

Karla was my counselor at Quad and she was exactly what I needed. I'm the kind of student who second-guesses everything, and Karla had this way of being firm without being dismissive that really worked for me. She helped me finalize my school list when I was overwhelmed by options, coached me through a personal statement revision process that went through more drafts than I'd like to admit, and prepped me extensively for interviews. I got into Notre Dame and I'm still shocked every time I say it out loud. The panel review gave me real confidence that my application was genuinely competitive. Quad is the real deal. I recommend it without hesitation.
