My daughter loved working with you on her applications and essays. She commented to us several times how your teaching style and support really gave her self-confidence and boosted her self-esteem! We were all thrilled when she received her acceptances and had a choice of schools–all of which had excellent support and programs in her chosen major. Thank you again for the excellent services you provided us and for your warm and caring support.

The fact that [our son] opened up to you is to you is a tribute to the exceptional person you are. You opened up your heart to our family and particularly to Brian and for this, I am eternally grateful. Thank you again for everything you have done it never would have been done without you.

Thank you, Jill, for you kind, generous and encouraging attention to Steven and me. It has been heart-felt.

Where do I even begin? It seems like just yesterday that I was told I wasn’t smart enough to go to college, and now…I couldn’t be more excited about New England! Words can’t express how thankful I am for everything – from just the applications to the scholarships you’ve truly been amazing. This was truly a “REACH FOR THE STARS.”

I want to thank you so much for all you have done to help us in our college search for our daughter. Although we had gone through the process once before, a college search for a student with ADD and Learning Disabilities presented us with new challenges.

We appreciated the time you spent with us as a family, helping us to discuss and discover the qualities most important in a college in general. We really benefited from the wealth of information you had at your fingertips about different schools and their programs. We especially learned a great deal from the materials you shared with us which talked about particular issues of importance for college students with an IEP.

I will never forget your heartfelt support and concern for Jennifer. We felt your compassion and genuine concern for us every step of the way through “college application hell.” In the past few years I have had to come to rely on the random kindness of so many different people, you amongst them, and I am humbled and extremely grateful.

Thank you for being such an amazing person and college finder. I truly believe that people come into our lives for a reason and you are a wonderful example of that. Your compassion and love for Sam are truly a gift to us all.

Dear Jill and Jordan,

Thank you so much for helping us through the college selection/application/admission process! From the moment, we began working with you the emphasis has been on what is the best fit for our son. Our son really trusted your guidance through this overwhelming process, and now has several excellent options for college. He particularly appreciates the relationship he has with Jordan. Your checking in with him Jordan on a regular basis really kept focused and motivated to do his best. We are very grateful to have had your expertise guiding us through this whole process. We are thrilled with the options our son has, and we look forward to working with you with our younger sons. Thank you again!

The academic services here are excellent. The major is good. I’m glad I chose business. Outside of my academics, I haven’t joined many clubs, as my fraternity, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, takes up a lot of time. All of the guys are cool. They like me. As you know, high school was difficult for me with finding friends. College is a new world. I have a lot of people I know. I have a few very close friends. I’ve got one friend I have gotten super close with. I’m happy. I think that Drake is the best choice I could have made. If I can bounce back from being sick and still be unsure about how much I “want” to come home for fall break or be confused about where “home” is for me, then I can be confident that there is no better place for me. I want to say thank you for helping me to find such a wonderful place. I’ll always be grateful for that.

Eric is doing GREAT! He is such a homebody that I was worried that he would be homesick, but NO! He’s made a ton of friends, Jon being one of them. He loves his classes and teachers. And he seems to be thriving in his new independence. Thanks so much for your part in making it happen! Count this one as a success!

Thanks for checking in with me, honestly the first semester at Butler really could not have gone much better. I met a pretty good group of friends rather quickly, my roommates were easy going and I enrolled in some classes I can honestly say I enjoyed. While I definitely miss my life at a big state school in Illinois. I know that transferring was the right move. I got a 3.6 this semester which is the best I have ever done in any semester high school or college, and I accepted a pretty cool internship with a major trucking logistics company in Indianapolis. Hope all is well on your end and have a fantastic summer.

Sam is FANTASTIC. Got a 4.0 all 3 semesters this year, studying a year early and taking LSAT in September. Has his own sports radio show at DePaul and about 5 great friends from the station. He also just finished being a camp counselor at DFPD and loved it.

Five years ago you suggested our son consider applying to Roosevelt University because you thought that he’d find in Nancy Litke and her Academic Success Center the kind of support in college for which he was looking. We’re now a few days away from Ben’s graduation, and we’re writing to thank you for that and to let you know how on target you were in your recommendation. We’ve thought of you many times during these past four years, always with great appreciation for your so well hearing Dan’s needs and desires, and for your leading him to Roosevelt and Nancy. We can’t thank you enough.

Ben has thrived at Roosevelt under Nancy’s academic tutoring and overall support. Even this past year with her no longer being at the college, Nancy has continued to meet with Ben, supporting him as he made his way through his senior honors thesis and presentation, among other things. Dan has enjoyed his time at RU; has worked these past two years as an RA and then an RA coordinator; and this weekend will graduate with his degree in criminal justice, with a minor in political science. He has loved living in Chicago and will be staying there after graduation. (He is looking for a job in emergency services management, and in the meantime has a part-time job with the Cubs organization in their security department.)

So as you can see, we are deeply indebted to you for your fine advice.
