The college search and application process is stressful and can be very confusing. Erin Goodnow was…read morethe perfect coach and advisor for our high school senior, especially in a Covid world where old patterns are upended. Erin is kind and compassionate and worked with our daughter to help her identify a solid list of schools. From there, she was a great guide - putting in place a system to keep our daughter on track with applications, essays, and all that is required to put a solid application together. As decisions come in, Erin has been a thoughtful sounding board - helping navigate choices, giving well-received advice, and sharing her own ideas. Bottom line - she is great. It was an investment that we would make again and recommend to others. We have a younger son, and I look forward to working with Erin when the time comes. The only thing I would do differently is reach out to her earlier....probably sometime in the junior year. Note - I am writing this as our daughter is in the midst of the process, and I think that is the right time to write this. The review is not meant to suggest that Erin is a guarantee to any school, or that is even what is best for a kid. Rather, she is a great counsellor through the process, helping her students self-identify the right fits, and there are many, through the process, a word I used a lot here. Maybe a kid writing a college essay would find a better synonym, but I already went to college (!) and it fits. It is a process - it takes time, patience, and trust. I am confident that Erin Goodnow and he team at Going Ivy are the right folks to walk the path with.

From managing critical deadlines and interpreting sometimes confusing application requirements, their expert guidance allows the student to maximize their efforts into generating top notch applications, which then yield results.

There is no doubt I will use College X-ing for my other children as well.

This is a private preparatory Catholic high school…read more It is an extremely snobbish, cliquish, money grubbing institution. I almost enrolled my granddaughter here but I was appalled how I was treated by the admissions office. Charge me for this, charge me for that, you ticked the wrong, you used the wrong color pen, no,no and no, you did this wrong, etc. etc. If your child belongs to one of Phoenix's upper middle class and above families, then this school is perfect for him or her. However, if your child is just average Phoenix middle or working class, he or she will be discriminated against silently, mocked, derided, looked down up and generally made to feel out of place. When I was going through the admissions process with my granddaughter, I contacted many of the parents who had sent their children initially to Xavier. An amazing 60% told me that they had regretted their decision very much and many had pulled their child from the school. Given the child abuse scandals currently affecting the Catholic Church and the degree to which it is now affecting the Catholic Church, I would no longer be able in any confidence to confide my child to a Catholic institution for fear of irreparable damage. Choose a charter school, a Protestant school, or an excellent public high school and research it well. Otherwise, be prepared to have a damaged child morally and physically.
