Before working with College Match Educational Consultants I was convinced that I was going to be going to a large school in the middle of big city. Yet after just a few meetings and listening to the kind of college experience and education I wanted, David encouraged me to take a look at schools I had never even considered as the type I would want to attend. Now I will be attending Colgate University, a small university in rural town, and I couldn’t be more excited!
David supported me in all the arenas of the college process. He helped me choose where to apply- which I will be forever grateful for. He then helped me with my essay by editing it himself and even getting me in contact with a creative writing instructor. He was able to answer all the small questions that come up- from how to list my race to what was the
best way to answer question three from this or that application. He especially helped with following up to applications- something that an admissions officer told me really made a difference in my application.
In a lot of ways David prepared me for the work world as well as for the college application. He got me to make an activities chart which has been used countless times in applying to college, but also in applying for jobs. The interview skills he stressed in our mock interviews were undoubtedly helpful for college interviews, but again, in applying for jobs. I even got to use my college essay for a school essay, talk about double dipping!
