"I just wanted to inform you how amazing working with Chris was. Not only did I get into all the programs I applied to due to his strategy and essay expertise, but he was also a joy to work with. Obviously the masters application process can be grueling and tedious, but I genuinely enjoyed all the sessions I had working with Chris and I could feel a genuine passion for writing and helping students like myself, something I had not felt from previous college counseling companies I had worked with. In addition, the essay work we did together was very helpful and I saw huge improvements in my essays from when we first started to where we ended, which definitely played massive roles in my acceptances and scholarships earned. I can not thank/recommend Chris enough!"
