TESTIMONIALS

Testimonials

“Marcella helped me brainstorm ideas for my essays and gave me thorough and timely feedback, which truly helped me excel as a writer beyond college supplementals. I had access to a vast array of resources that demystified the college admissions process and let me strategize ways to approach essays, the activity list, and additional information sections. She also aided me with staying on track to meet critical deadlines and ensured that I was prepared to submit applications in advance of the deadlines. Marcella's guidance allowed me to present a polished and authentic application to every school, and her support was instrumental in my admissions success."

– Anna, admitted to Duke
