What Our Clients Say...
My son, a
bright, talented teenager, was completely unmotivated his first
two years of high school. He didn't try, didn't care, and
didn't take his grades seriously. Thus, he ended up with mostly
C's and D's his first two years. I expected that my son would
automatically end up at a local community college at that point,
rather than a four-year university. Then I found Sue and
Andrea. They talked to my son very frankly and directly. Their
pitch: if he changed his attitude and worked hard enough to get
A's and B's his last two years of high school, they would help
him to "explain" his academic record to college admission
officers to reflect his positive grade improvement. It
worked. My son turned himself around academically and will now
start college at Washington State University this fall. I don't
believe he would have been accepted but for the "roadmap to
success" that Sue and Andrea created for him. ~Parent
"Anxiety! That’s what thinking about the
college search and application process gave us. Using Eastside
College Consultants gave us such peace of mind. They walked us
through everything; and we are thrilled to report that our
daughter, Annie, is currently a happy freshman at her first
choice college, and on nearly a full scholarship! I really do
not think she could have done so well without the comfortable
rapport she had with Sue and Andrea. Their patience and expert
care made the process understandable and achievable."
~Parent
"Accepted into USF!!! Yeah! They sent me an
email today. I actually teared up a little, I was so happy! It
definitely made my day. Thanks for all your help and hard work!"
~Erica
"Guess what?! I got into my first choice
college! I got my acceptance letter today! Just wanted to let
you know. Thank you! You have no idea how much help you guys
have been. Honestly, thank you. And yes, I will keep you posted
on the remaining applications."
~Rachael
"We were very pleased with the services that
we received from Eastside College Consultants. It was clear from
the start that your personalities and style of communication
would work well with our Rachael. During the first meeting you
were able to do what we hadn’t been able to do in the six
previous months. Your suggestion of universities to visit was
excellent. The workbook that you provided her was an excellent
resource. Your assistance and advice in completing the
applications was invaluable. We were concerned because although
Rachael had good grades, she does not do well on standardized
tests, such as the SAT. However, thanks to your help, she was
accepted to all four universities to which she applied. The
whole family appreciates the help that you gave us in working
through the research, exploration, decision making and
application process. It is readily apparent that you are both
seasoned veterans in working with students and families. The
process can be so overwhelming and complicated, and it is nice
to know that you will be there for our second daughter when she
begins the process in a couple years! Thanks again for all your
help!"
~Parent
"As the big move to college faces our high
school seniors, the anxiety can spill over into otherwise
healthy family relationships. We were very happy to discover
Eastside College Consultants to bridge that gap between
ourselves and our daughter. We were able to rely on their
expertise, which gave us confidence that she was being
well-advised. They also assured us that out daughter was meeting
all the deadlines that come with college applications. This
service is invaluable if your household is as busy as ours, and
you can’t put your life on hold to accomplish these tasks. The
final proof is a happy daughter in a successful college
placement!"
~Parent
“Thank you, Sue and Andrea, for everything
you’ve done for me. Without your help in finding colleges,
organizing my testing schedule and application timelines, and
help with my personal statements and essays, I probably wouldn’t
have been accepted into all my college choices…”
~Alex T.
“The advice you gave me was very helpful in
determining when and how to get all the college application
paperwork done in a timely fashion. I personally believe your
tips on the essay, in particular, were significant in
determining admission to my first choice college. Thanks so much
for all your assistance.”
~Meghan W.
“We have enjoyed working with Sue and
Andrea. They take such a personal approach in working with young
people. There is nothing formulaic in the way they arrive at a
potential list of appropriate colleges for each student. They
have a unique way of drawing out the particular interests and
needs of the student and uncovering possibilities that might not
have otherwise been considered. They are accessible, responsive
and, above all, always positive and encouraging. We recommend
their services with great enthusiasm.”
~Parent
“My wife and I have been very pleased with
the college advisory services of Eastside College Consultants.
During the long and sometimes intimidating college application
process, Sue and Andrea have been incredibly helpful and readily
available to answer our many questions. They developed a
personal relationship with our son, helping him narrow his
college choices and offering invaluable guidance along the way.
We owe it to them that our son now has a choice of his top three
schools for next fall.”
~Parent
“The advice we received from Eastside
College Consultants was incredibly valuable to both my daughter
and to us as parents. Their guidance allowed us to confirm that
our daughter was properly focused on colleges which matched her
goals and to identify what else needed to be done to present her
application in the most favorable manner. Their advice was a
significant factor in my daughter being accepted to all of her
desired schools. We will be using their assistance again for our
other children.”
~Parent
Thank you, Sue and Andrea, for going above
and beyond the call of duty. When it was difficult for us, as
parents, to motivate our son to complete college oriented tasks,
you managed to step in and do so. You made it a point to
establish a good working relationship with him which, for our
son, was key in getting him to keep moving forward in his
pursuit of college admission. He’s half way there, and I don’t
think it would have happened without your services. And an added
benefit – we are all still speaking! We are truly appreciative…”
~Parent
“You befriended our daughter in the initial
meeting and made her feel comfortable with the whole process.
You provided the necessary guidance for her to show her talents
and accomplishments in the best possible light. She feels very
confident in her choice of schools. We are very grateful for all
your help and support. We’ll let you know when the next two kids
are ready!”
~Parent
“Thanks so much for all the help you gave me
during the past year – with the college search and my
applications and essays. It was an absolutely wonderful
Christmas present to have all of my paperwork mailed off to my
respective colleges before Christmas break. I now truly believe
that I would be happy spending four years at any of the schools
to which I applied. Thanks so much for all your time and
support.”
