She helped guide him to choose the best fit school. Our 2nd son is now in the process and even though they are very different kids, she has been a perfect match for him. She understands the essence of a high school student and focuses on finding the best school-taking into account the social, academic and well being of the student. We highly recommend working with her!

I wish I could write a review of how their services were, but after two emails - crickets. Maybe…read morethey're great? Maybe they're not. Who knows because no one got back to me. I emailed the first time and just assumed it got lost, or fell through the cracks. Emailed the second time and it very clearly states that someone will get back to you within 24 hours. Nothing. Yes, I checked my spam. If there is one thing I will not tolerate it's a business who acts like your business isn't important and doesn't reply. Maybe they don't need the business, maybe they're too busy, but it's unacceptable to not respond back.

Our son required more detailed assistance in applying to college due to his aspirations to play college baseball. Diana compiled a spread sheet with the options available, timeline for when applications where due, as well as what method of application ie. common application versus other. Also she reviewed my son's personal statements and offered suggestions based on her writing background. She has a unique way of working with teenagers and is able to engage in dialogue in ways a parent cannot. She also assisted us in scholarships and financial services for colleges. We highly recommend her and her services! College applications are daunting enough. She is very reasonable and is also very flexible with her schedule.

My son (and other students) found her easy to talk with and work with. As a parent, I always found a helpful, sympathetic ear. She is extremely knowledgeable about the college admissions process, and was very helpful in helping our son get into and adjust to his first college classes. Also, she has been supportive and helpful in the years since. I highly recommend No Drama College Counseling, as I know you will receive caring, personal attention from a very knowledgeable and experienced counselor. Sincerely, Sharon S. Manhattan Beach, CA

I could not be more pleased with the guidance provided by Erin Gordon Grady. The educational process, particularly steps pertaining to college admission and affordability, can be very confusing and daunting for parents and students, especially considering that the landscape is ever changing. Erin is extremely knowledgeable, patient and kind, and it is largely thanks to her that our son is currently a happy student at USC. Erin's willingness to answer all our questions, no matter how small or how complex, was a testament to her professionalism. Her wise, thoughtful replies reflect her profound knowledge on the topic and the fact that she currently keeps abreast of new developments in her field. I would strongly recommend working with Erin. After speaking with other parents who are struggling with helping their kids make a smooth transition from high school to college, I am especially grateful that my family had her invaluable support.

My main concerns about the college transfer process were identifying the right school for our son…read moreand completing the applications in a way that best and accurately reflected him. Through our collaboration, Erin was able to guide us toward great schools that would be the right fit for our son. Her familiarity with the transfer process helped to reassure us that we were on the right track. We found the support in choosing schools to apply to and guidance in completing the Common Application most effective. We also found the assistance in essay topic selection and support through the writing process very helpful. I think having her work with us allowed our son to take ownership of his process and helped keep healthy and less stressful communication between us. I absolutely would recommend Innovative Education Partners and working with Erin. The college application process is a labyrinth, and having her guide us through it was invaluable

They have created a system that truly helps the student organize his/her/their thoughts and ideas in order to put their best foot forward and create a college application that represents who the student is and what their achievements are. Both my children worked with College Zoom. My son is a very typical young man who had a hard time getting started with his applications, and College Zoom did an excellent job supporting him every step of the way. My daughter, on the other hand, was very motivated and College Zoom worked well with her enthusiasm and organization. I am happy to report that both kids got into their DREAM schools (USC and UC Berkeley) with College Zoom's help. David and College Zoom really understood each student's unique needs, and also helped this mom feel less worried!!

My…read moredaughter, who was anxious about the whole college process (as were we) , felt at ease with her right away and decided that she wanted to work with Genevieve. From the first day they worked together during her Junior Spring semester, all through Summer and Senior Fall semester, my daughter felt supported, informed, and on top of the whole college process. There was open communication between all of us and Genevieve was able to keep us all on schedule with the application process. My daughter felt empowered and confident and was able to turn in all her applications early so that she was able to relax and enjoy her Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks. I can't say enough about how professional, organized, thorough and knowledgeable Genevieve is about the ever-changing college application process. We are very grateful to her for her guidance and expertise. My daughter enjoyed working with her and we. as parents, appreciated having the pressure taken off of us. If you are looking for a professional college counselor, Genevieve is the Best!!!

Looking to get your kids support with their college application essays, Felicia is incredible!…read more I reached out to Felicia to help my nephew Logan's personal statement and supplemental essays for his Cornell Engineering early decision application. Logan is at the top of his class when it comes to science, math, and physics but really struggles with writing essays. My sister knew these essays were going to be challenging for him so she hired a local tutor to assist with the process. After months of working with this local tutor, let's just say it did not go well and Logan ended up with a very boring statement that did not represent him or make him stand out. It may have even put the admissions committee to sleep. With a 7% percentage acceptance rate (4,994 out of 68,000 accepted in 2023) Cornell is extremely competitive and it was imperative that he had amazing essays. When I reached out to Felicia to explain the situation she shared her strong insight that these essays must make the admissions committee really care about Logan. Bring to life who he is, illicit heartfelt emotions, maybe even have them tear up. She swooped in 2 weeks before the application was due and helped develop his essays so they became entertaining, captivating, heartwarming, fun and funny! She had incredible strategies for getting him to express himself and tell his story. Amazing transformation! Our family felt very fortunate to have been able to have Logan work with Felicia plus he even had fun during the process. He is beyond thrilled to go to Cornell in the Engineering program in the fall!! Logan does not think he would have gotten accepted without Felicia's guidance. Felicia really gave Logan the edge he needed to get into Cornell. I plan to send every highschooler in my family to work with Felicia!
