It is worth every penny to have an outside expert overseeing the college application process. We have had all three of our kids use Mosaic--and would do it all over again! read more

I have been a client of Julie since 2007. She has helped me achieve a well rounded and polished resume and application that has helped me stand out among other applicants in competitive areas. Her attention to detail, kindness, and willingness to work with you step by step is rivaled by no other. From prep school, college, graduate school, and successfully matching into the residency of my dreams Julie has been there all the way. I have and will continue to recommend her to friends and family read more

Julie is awesome. She's worked with my siblings and me, getting us into great schools like UCLA and Pepperdine. She worked with me to put together a really effective but also authentic personal statement and coached me through the lengthy process that some applications require. I got into every school I applied to and I couldn't have done it without her guidance. read more

Julie was an outstanding college counselor. She knew exactly which strengths I should capitalize on, and she did a great job of helping manage the flow of ideas. Julie was also excellent when it came down to the writing part of the applications. She knew exactly what she was doing, and it was apparent she had great experience in this field. I am proud of the applications she helped me with, I can't thank her enough! read more

My daughter (who is an arts student) worked with Soliana Habte. Honestly I cannot even begin to express what a gift it was! Soliana took the charge (and kept my daughter moving along - which she needed), and not only got it all done on time, but got it done right. I feel like with Soliana's guidance, my daughter put forward a not only compelling application and stellar essays, but equally importantly a truly authentic representation of who she is and what she cares about. As a result, I really feel confident that the match will make itself and she will land at the right school, as who she is was really incredibly clear from everything they put together in her applications. Soliana clearly also has a great understanding of what the art schools are looking for, and how to weave together the application so it's presented in completely cohesive, comprehensive and complementary way. Not to mention, they had their work cut out for them, as it was all pretty last minute, and we hired Soliana when we only had a month or two to go!! We were already working with another conselor who just hadn't quite stepped up and gotten things done, so when Soliana stepped in, (and kind of came to the rescue), it was all a big time crunch and we really had to step on it! It could have neen crazy stressful, but thankfully it all got done, and it got done incredibly well! From my perspective as a parent, I must also add that Soliana was super communicative, receptive and completely on top of everything! Which REALLY allowed me to step back, relax, and know that not only was it all going to get done, but it was going to get done to the absolute best of my daughter's ability! I couldn't possibly give a higher recommendation! Soliana made all the difference in the world and I will be forever grateful.. :) Any student would be profoundly fortunate to have them in their corner. read more

I had the good fortune of being advised by Mosaic/ Julie while working on my graduate school applications. She was an informative advisor about the process, and most importantly offered sharp insight into what I was trying to communicate with the essays--the hardest component for me--helping to massage them into clear and effective stories. The essays shined in my application packages, and I was accepted into 4/ 5 top-5-ranked schools, with competitive fellowship awards! read more

Julie has helped me through the whole process of picking the right colleges for me, creating an application strategy, brainstorming essay ideas and shaping my personal statements. She is patient, a great advisor and has helped me improve my writing in a way that extends even beyond college essays. She helped me to highlight my strengths in my applications, and I am incredibly proud of how the essays demonstrate my passion and academic aspirations. I recommend her 100% read more

Julie was really helpful in guiding me in the college process! Everything was planned out early and properly. She answered many of my questions and helped me pick the colleges that were fit for me. Her ideas for essays were great and her knowledge is beyond! Her team and herself definitely made applying to college easier and smoother. It lifted off a huge weight off of my parents shoulders. I am attending USC this fall and would definitely recommend Julie and the Mosaic College Preparation Company! read more

Without Karen Bowlin I would not have gotten into the colleges I did!! I had so many amazing options and offers that her advice and help made possible. She is truly talented with writing and her knowledge is irreplaceable. You can't put a price on her wealth of information and experience. I never once felt stress in the college applying experience because Karen made it so easy. I would recommend her to anyone and I am so lucky that I got to work with her. read more

I honestly love everyone at mosaic. They all helped me in ways I never could have imagined. They made the college application process a lot easier and clearer than it would've been without them. I learned about great schools I wouldn't have thought of, the advice for applications was also invaluable and undoubtedly helped me achieve my goals. They're all really nice too and were always willing to help. Whoever chooses to accept their help is honestly blessed! read more

Julie gave superb - and very prompt/last minute (our fault!) - help on our daughter's school application. In addition to specifically improving our application du jour, Julie taught us lessons about applications in general that we think the whole family will use for a long time to come! read more

I would highly recommend Julie when choosing someone to help you through your college application process! She got me through my UC and Common App and really helped me formulate great essays. She took my ideas and thoughts and was able to put them in a eloquent and polished way with still showing me. She really takes the time to understand you and how it should apply to the different essay prompts there are. She's also very efficient and gets back to you super fast so you can meet your deadlines. Overall Julie is one of the main reasons my application was able to stand out and I could get into some great schools! read more

Julie and the team at Mosaic provided phenomenal support throughout the entire process of applying to graduate school. It had been a decade since I filled out an application or written an admission essay and Julie's guidance was instrumental in getting me through the process (which resulted in acceptance to my top choice program)!! read more

I was admitted into USC (grad school). I had trouble finding my story. My first draft of my purpose statement felt like an academic paper. I reached out to Julie for help after reading various 5-star Yelp reviews. Prior to meeting Julie, she spent over 30 minutes on the phone with me. During our call, she helped me figure out my goals for our appointment. She also expressed interest in getting to know me. She has a talent for asking the right questions. She really wants you to dive deep and find your story in your own words. She arrived early to our Saturday appointment and greeted me with a smile. Julie really helped me organize my thoughts and as a result, I was able to tap into my story. I believe this was pivotal in providing the admissions committee with the best possible picture of my ideal candidacy for the program. Thank you, Julie! read more

I absolutely loved working with Karen Bowlin on my college applications! Without her I would not have been able to get into the places that I did. Karen's spirit, writing talent, and availability made my college application experience a whole lot easier and way less stressful. When working with Karen and Mosaic Prep you will never feel disorganized or like you're falling behind. She goes at the perfect pace, and helps you keep from procrastinating (which is something that I most definitely struggle with). She's the best at making you and your process feel important. The amount of dedicated research and time she puts into each student is astounding. She is always right there when you need her and never turns your ideas down, she only helps them flourish. Thank you so much Karen and Mosaic Prep for helping me get into Carnegie Mellon!! Love you guys! read more

Was having issues with my family pressuring me about applying and writing essays and whatnot come Senior year. Karen Bowlin helped both me and my family by putting my parents at ease and helping me focus and hone in on essays and applications. Absolutely an amazing woman and a life savior when it came to getting into collage! Proud to be a Trojan and couldn't have done it without her! read more

Mosaic College Prep. was recommended to my family from many of our friends. After the initial meeting with them, we knew that our counselor, Julie Fulton, would be the one that could assist with the stressful college application process. She took every stress and worry away from me, and developed an organized and efficient strategy to tackle the Common Application. Julie's skills to connect to her students, and find what drives them in order to incorporate that into essays are absolutely amazing. In addition to assisting with essay help, she also helped me create a resume, that lead to a lasting internship at a major entertainment corporation. Mosaic College Prep is simply the best, and if your looking for individualized help, they are the ones you want. read more

Julie was a godsend! I have been out of school for over 15 years and decided to recently go back to obtain my Masters. Writing my Personal Statement was extremely scary and overwhelming. I wasn't sure if I could manage it. I was able to get some words down on paper and send it off to Julie for her review. She actually told me the first draft was well written and that I shouldn't be so hard on myself. After a few revisions, the final Statement was superb! I felt completely comfortable submitting it the Admissions board. She was able to take my scatterbrained thoughts and put them in a neat, organized and excellent paper. Once I get accepted to my program, I'm sure I will be reaching out to Julie again in the future. read more

When I was confused about what to do career-wise (post undergrad), I contact Mosaic Prep. Julie Fulton was extremely helpful and provided me everything I needed in order to figure out my next steps. This winter, I applied to AFI for film school - and got in! So much of that had to do with Julie's help (proofreading my essays, giving me advice on what to include in my application, etc.). I would recommend Mosaic, especially Julie Fulton, to anyone in need of guidance, tutoring, interview prep, etc. read more

I am so thankful for Julie's help during my process of transferring colleges. She is very approachable, has flexible hours, and it was never a struggle to schedule a meeting with her. Julie helped me throughout the entire transfer process, from preparing a list of colleges, revising over 15 supplemental essays, and practicing for interviews. Julie was there for me every step of the way and never failed to have a speedy response to any of my questions - she was even available over the phone while I was away at college. I honestly don't know what I would have done without her helping hand. In the fall, I will be attending a college that I viewed as a high reach for me, and I could not be happier! read more

I needed some help with a personal essay for a very competitive film program. A friend who'd used Mosaic and landed entry into her top MFA school gave me Julie's name. Julie was amazing. She is so personable, and with her you're not just another job. She's genuinely interested in you and your life story. She knows exactly how to speak to the admissions panels and how to frame your essay so that you convey your distinct, personal voice while staying within the perimeters of the program's mission...in less than 500 words! Not an easy task. Within minutes of looking at my essay, she was able to assess it's strengths and weaknesses and give suggestions on how to clarify what I was trying to convey. She asked the right questions to push my ideas further - again while keeping in line with the program's goals. She even edited the final version, giving it a nice polish. By the time I submitted the essay to the program, I felt really confident in what we'd done, and I know my application will be one of the strongest in the competition. Go with Julie and Mosaic to help you with your applications - it takes the guesswork out of the whole process, you won't feel overwhelmed, and you won't have to go it alone! read more
