Getting into a GOOD school and getting a GOOD scholarship is becoming more and more difficult as…read moremore and more kids understand that they need something to set themselves apart. Unless you've been through this process dozens of times, and have a proven track record of ivy league acceptance, why would you risk your child's future(and your financials) with a DIY mentality? Enter Holly. I was introduced tho Holly through some mutual friends, and although my daughter is a few years off( she's 4 months old), i look forward to being able to work with Holly in the future. It seems like everyone these days has a degree, the big difference maker down the road will be, "where did you get your education?". With the right preparation, the answer will have a prestigious ring to it as well as put a smile on your face because the quarter million dollar price tag came with a quarter million dollar scholarship.

My experience with College Concept was phenomenal. Holly's know-how, input, and guidance was…read moreincredibly helpful during my application process. She helped enormously in trimming down my college list and helping me find schools that matched what I wanted. With her assistance in constructing my essays, compiling my resume, and doing mock interviews, I was admitted into 15 different colleges, including the University of Texas at Austin, Tulane University, Boston College, the University of Michigan, the University of North Carolina, UCLA, the University of Southern California, Emory University, the University of Richmond, and others. Most importantly, she prepared my application so well that I was eventually admitted to my dream school, Vanderbilt University, and awarded a full-tuition academic merit scholarship. She assisted tremendously with my scholarship application as well. This is the university I will be attending. Holly was instrumental in my college application process and I couldn't recommend her services any higher.

We were given two different consultants and the last one gave us the name of schools that were inappropriate for our child's age. We have tried to contact with no response.

Ducerus promised us scholarships and assistance with writing essays for a fee, which was equivalent…read moreto one semester of tuition. Foolish! Ducerus did not reply to our students questions regarding essays and we did not receive $1 of additional financial assistance. All assistance was earned though grades and ACT/SAT scores. Ducerus did nothing other than take our money and file FASA forms.

We engaged Maria to work with our son, Robby just past half way through his 3rd Grade year. He had…read morebeen diagnosed as ADHD and was struggling to adjust to the ever increasing expectations. His grades had gone from A's and B's in 2nd Grade to C's and D's and F's in Third. Robby's motivation was down. He was repeated stating that he wasn't smart (not the case!) and that he didn't like school. My wife and I were a bit at wits end as to what to do. Additionally, Ohio has a high stakes test at the end of the 3rd grade that every student must pass in order to advance to the 4th grade. Maria really turned that around. She focused on developing strategies that he could implement to succeed at his day to day school work as well as better understand the context of the lessons. Additionally she gave him tools to help with focusing, always a challenge with an 8 yr old boy! Within a few weeks we began to see positive results. By the beginning of the 4th quarter his teachers had noticed a positive change in Robby's behavior and motivation and he achieved an award for academic excellence in the 4th quarter. He stopped saying he couldn't do things and he looked forward to going to school. Oh, and he passed the final exam without issue. We were disappointed that Maria moved to Atlanta as it would have been fabulous to have her work with Robby next year. (Just for context - Maria worked with Robby 2 times a week most weeks and 3 times a week to prep for the final exam from early February through the end of May.)

I am very impressed with how Maria works with kids, she encourages them to do their best.read more
