    I have worked with Ann since I was a junior in high school and have found her extremely helpful as…read morea mentor, counselor, and essay editor. When I was in high school, she was great at helping me manage the wealth of essays I had to complete as well as providing valuable feedback and perspective to improve and strengthen the essays. She was a major reason why I got accepted into my top choice schools including the University of Pennsylvania, University of Notre Dame, Cornell University, and the University of Michigan. I am now a sophomore in college, and still reach out to Ann for advice and feedback regarding ongoing opportunities at the university.

    I am currently a senior in high school and I plan to attend college next fall. Ann was an amazing…read morehelp during the college process. Together, we narrowed down which type of school I would like based on my personality and preferences. Ann put together a list of schools I would like based on the questions she provided. When I narrowed down my choices, she helped me understand the college app (online website where a student can apply to multiple colleges at once) and helped me create a resume. We were then able to brainstorm ideas for my college essay. Overall, Ann's help made the college process a lot less stressful! I recommend contacting Ann if any juniors or rising seniors are confused or overwhelmed when applying to schools. Also the earlier you start applying or getting ready to apply the better! I applied to some rolling admission colleges in the summer leading up to senior year and started off the school year knowing I was already accepted to at least one college!

    My child began working with Oriel Admissions in the second half of her freshman year of high…read moreschool. While the most intense part of the counseling happened during the later part of her junior year and into the beginning of her senior year, Rona and her team provided thoughtful, structured guidance throughout the entire process. They advised my child on how to best use her time for each of her summer breaks for different purposes, from exploring what interested her during freshman summer to participating in research program following her junior year which greatly strengthened her application. My child worked with a career counselor of the team to explore career interests. Rona and other members of her team advised my child on course selections for each academic year, formulation of different essay topics, and later the intense process of essay development during which Rona and a writing coach provided multiple rounds of edits for my child. The team was knowledgeable about the college admissions landscape. They helped our child stay on track and build her confidence and independence during what could have been a stressful process. What stood out most was how they focused on my child as a unique individual and guided her accordingly. Oriel Admissions helped my child present her authentic self in the strongest possible way and we believe their guidance played a pivotal role in my child's successful early decision admission into Smith College. We are grateful for their guidance and would highly recommend them to any family navigating the college admissions journey.

    Working with Rona and Katie at Oriel Admissions was a genuinely positive experience for our family…read more From the earliest conversations, they took the time to understand our son as a student and as a person, which shaped every piece of guidance that followed. One of the things we valued most was the hands-on support with his writing. Rona and Katie worked with him in live sessions on his essays, helping him find his voice and shape his ideas into something authentic and compelling. That kind of in-the-moment coaching as well as the written feedback that he received was extremely meaningful and it pushed him to produce his strongest work. Beyond the writing, Rona and Katie suggested colleges that aligned with his interests and goals, helped him tell a clear story through his activities, and brought out his strengths and unique qualities in his writing. Their guidance was always rooted in what was right for him specifically, and that made all the difference in how his applications came together. In the end, he was accepted to the University of Miami, his top choice college, and we couldn't be happier.

    I worked with Susan Cera at Stratus on four applications for Masters of Public Administration type…read moreprograms in the United States - including for UC Berkeley and Syracuse University. As an Australian, I was not familiar with the requirements and was worried about making a great impression. Susan provided outstanding guidance throughout this complicated process. She really helped me make it manageable and streamlined. During her process, I also learnt things about myself and my career direction that I will take with me, far beyond the applications. Susan was approachable, insightful, helpful and a reassuring presence through out. Working with Stratus you will put in the hard work but your applications will be far superior to what you can accomplished alone. I highly recommend their services if you are looking to apply for the best public policy schools in the world.

    Donna is a fantastic resource to anyone seeking guidance and support in their MBA application…read morejourney. With her expertise, dedication, and personalized approach, Donna helped me secure an offer from one of the top MBA programs despite a below average GPA and test scores for those schools. From our very first interaction, Donna displayed a genuine interest in helping me understand my aspirations, strengths, and weaknesses. Before starting any school-specific applications, we went through a rigorous process of understanding key aspects of my profile that I could highlight and organizing those components into an arsenal that I could draw from. Thanks to this kind of preparation, when it came time to writing essays, I was able to spend less time on coming up with ideas and more time thinking broadly about the narrative I wanted to communicate. Throughout the admissions process, which can be more akin to a marathon than a sprint, Donna helped me create a strategy of regular communication with admissions committees and constantly developing areas of my application that may be viewed as weaknesses. The right strategy will elevate your candidacy above any one grade or score, and through consistent effort and willingness to improve your profile, you will stand out. To anyone who believes that the right school is out of reach for them, I strongly recommend Donna and the team at Stratus as partners in the MBA admissions process. Donna stuck with me throughout the application cycle and I couldn't be happier with the result!
