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.

We had an ESM "college counselor" who always changed our meeting times, wifi didn't work, laptop didn't work, etc. He didn't even get the grades entered correctly on the applications.

He didn't inform us or apply for the Honors programs at the schools. My mistake of how stupid of me to think a company I hired at $150 per hour was actually doing their job without my supervision.

My score went up 12 points from my diagnostic (I'm retaking in June because I know I can do better if I re-go over all my homework from class) I think I would suggest taking the class meant for the June LSAT and take the October once you've had enough time to really solidify everything. It's a ton of homework and a lot of time for someone who works full time and goes to school full time. Worth every single penny though! I didn't have as much time as I would have liked to do the homework and go over everything before the next class. If you have more time to spend, I would just take the class meant for the LSAT you are studying for. I looked forward to class most of the time and always felt more confident about the LSAT after leaving class. I was also not nervous going into the test and that peace of mind is worth the money right there. I would highly suggest it if you're serious about the LSAT and serious about getting into law school.
