Before working with Allison, anytime I thought about the college application process I was filled with questions and anxiety. Fortunately, I started working with her in the middle of my daughter junior year, and it was obvious right away that she knew what she was doing. With his help, my daughter Ana spend the summer before my senior year at talking college film classes at Syracuse University and Arizona State University. This experience was vital to her decision to go pre-med, and it would not have been possible without her. As for college applications, Allison help was truly invaluable. We started in the beginning of August and met every single week until I got my ED acceptance letter. Allison always found a way to improve Ana's writing, even if it was as simple as changing one word. Anytime She had a question, she had an answer, and she helped Ana showcase the best version of her. Applying to Film was not what we where expecting, it was overwhelming with portfolio, additional essay's it was incredibly stressful for Ana and Allison was a game changer and guide her all the time. Ana applied early as Allison suggested and that was the best decision we made, Ana prepared with time (beginning of junior year) and got ready, apply Early, that give us a better opportunity with colleges acceptance and financial aid. By December Senior year we already had accepted letters from many schools including Ana's top chose Emerson College in Boston, it was not an easy decision with too many acceptance letters from amazing schools and an incredible financial package. Before Allison, we had barely considered applying to Emerson College, casting it off as unrealistic. Now, we are beyond ecstatic to begin my future there. Thank you, Allison, for helping Ana with what has undoubtedly been the longest and most grueling process I have been through. You took away a lot of the stress and always kept me right on track. I am so grateful for all your help and I cannot imagine going through this process without you. If you are looking for a college consultant It's a pleasure for me to recommend you Allison Henderson, she will really help you in many different topics, not only essay writing but also career path, what schools to apply and financial aid guidance. Allison was the best decision we did to get our daughter into college. read more

Allison is super helpful, professional, and informative. I called with scholarship essay questions and many other college related questions. She was informative and helpful. Can't wait to work with her for the next round of scholarships that are applied for. Blessings to Allison for all of the helpful information. read more

Allison was a life saver for my son! Let into the game of the college application process last fall we agreed as a family that my math/science son would benefit from some support in writing his college essays. Allison was very flexible and accommodating with our needs, working with my son's schedule and his last minute requests to meet to review his drafts. She guided him on how to organize the essay but fully respected and supported the topics he wanted to write about, which I think made for well written and authentic essays to really reveal who my son is. In this last unprecedented college application year where SAT and ACT tests weren't even considered at most schools, essays became that much more important. And with higher than average numbers of applicants, I really think my non-writing son's essays really were what made the difference in him getting accepted to many of the schools he applied to including UCLA where he will go this fall. Thank you Allison for the guidance! read more

Unfortunately, I learned of Ms. Henderson's services too late for a comprehensive overview, however she was able to accommodate me at the last minute. Our telephone conference consisted of analyzing finer points of college applications. I was able to email spreadsheets that Ms. Henderson and I reviewed together. Ms. Henderson's advice and expertise proved to be invaluable. We had originally planned to submit ACT scores for only one date, but she explained why, in our particular case, it made sense to submit two. She also explained why it would not make sense to submit certain AP and SATII scores. Ms. Henderson also brought to my attention an online resource, Naviance, that I wasn't previously aware of. My only regret is that we weren't able to work together far earlier - freshman or sophomore year. Had this been possible, we would have been able to develop a more professional overall comprehensive game plan, in terms of pre-application curriculum, ACT/SAT/SATII/AP test taking schedules, and college selection. I'm sure this would have increased our chances of being accepted to the best schools. In addition to being very professional, Ms. Henderson also has a pleasant, easy-going personality, which enables her to get along very well with both adults and teenagers. Don't wait until Senior Year like I did. It's important to start early. If I could give this company an A Plus, I would. read more

I am likely not the typical reviewers as it relates to A+ College Consultants. I am 27, a successful executive in a hotel based REIT (investment group), and a college dropout. I ended (or paused) my educational career at 20 to have my daughter and became the sole provider for our future family. Growing quickly through the ranks of hotel operations, I found myself within three years in a role within senior leadership. It wasn't until I joined the ownership and Asset Management side that I hit a proverbial glass ceiling. As I am listed on the website, when investors look to invest in our firm, they look through our bio's. My college experience, or lack there of, can and would be viewed as a deterrent. In order to grow to the next level (VP,) it was communicated quite clearly, that I needed a degree. The thought of returning to college with a full time + job was terrifying, so I went in search of help. Through a friend I was referred to Allison Henderson (A+ College Consultants.) Within 5 days we had a college selected that allowed work at your own pace online learning. Additionally, as I have had a fair amount of experience from my various roles in hotels (reading P&L's, drafting business plans, building and reviewing budgets/ proformas,) Allison selected a program that allows me to test out of classes, AND EARN CREDITS. While I only have 30 credits coming into this search, I should be done within a calendar year. This promotion is worth 150k + stock options, and without A+ consultants, I would be waiting 3 years to earn it. I could not be more grateful. Allison not only worked around my schedule (a proverbial disaster,) but also did the digging on my behalf. My total time commitment to the search, acquisition, and application was less than a full work day. This process could not have been smoother or easier. Thank you Ms. Henderson, and to any working professionals out there looking to earn a degree on their own time, I would recommend highly working with Allison, and A+ College Consultants, to ensure you find the right fit. - Nathan read more

Ms. Henderson was very useful for my son who is a Junior this year and will be applying for colleges come fall. We had already explored colleges in our state but she provided us with some out of state options to apply to that may be appropriate for the major he was looking into. Also she suggested ones that may also give scholarships for out of state schools that would make the tuition equal to in state ones. She also advised us about perhaps applying as a strong Math major..plus other like majors.. thus improving our chances for acceptance. She also suggested to took further beyond college as to where it may be beneficial to get internships for summers to come. She looks outside the box for ways to improve your chances to get into colleges. I would highly recommend her! Thanks Allison! read more

Allison is a fantastic college consultant! She assisted our high school senior in identifying colleges to apply to, exploring exciting subjects for college applications, and searching out academic scholarships. Allison knows tons about American colleges and universities and can help your senior find the perfect fit! She is always available to meet with, phone or email your student about any issues that come up during the application process. See is smart, kind and patient. Our child has already been offered a sizable academic scholarship at a college that is perfect! I cannot say enough about how wonderful Allison is! read more

Allison is AMAZING!!! I thought I was fine helping my daughter with the college application process and then realized the world of big university applications changed considerably from when I went to school. Plus I had bias towards schools that, candidly, was just not necessarily accurate. My daughter had already done a lot of work by the time we engaged Allison, but she graciously accepted us on an "a la carte" basis. Her guidance and advice was invaluable and it has made a HUGE difference. My daughter has received multiple acceptances and several merit based scholarships including a HUGE offer from Texas A&M, a school that was not even on our radar initially. Times have changed, Allison can help you navigate the crazy world of colleges applications!! read more

My 16 year old and I had a one hour appointment with Allison. She was very helpful, knowledgable, warm and friendly. We are definitely going to make another appointment in the future to get help with the very overwhelming college application process. We are so glad we found A plus! read more
