The college application process is long, overwhelming and beyond stressful. Within 30 seconds of meeting Meredith, my entire family seemed to take one long exhale knowing that her knowledge, creativity, motivation and approachability would guide my twin boys throughout this entire process.  Meredith has a hands-on approach with your child by having them stay on task with deadlines, getting to really know their individual strengths and personality, which is so important when figuring out what schools and areas may be the right fit. She guided them through the Common Application and essay, brainstorming creative ideas to really help them stand out, as well as supplemental essays required for a lot of the schools they applied to (x2)! I would also like to add we felt she went over and above what we originally hired her for. She was always there when needed for any question, concern, encouragement or to touch base from the beginning of the application process and after all the college acceptances came in. We really could not have done any of this without her!

Meredith guided me through every step of my college applications and helped me stay organized to meet every deadline. While writing college essays with Meredith, we became a creative team that led to my success. It's a challenge to come up with writing ideas and further refine them into finished pieces. But, Meredith was there to help every step of the way! I would think of topics and she would help me shape them into unique essays to present to colleges. After writing a draft, Meredith is the perfect second set of eyes to find the best words and writing style for exactly what I was trying to say. With Ivy College Advising, a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders because I knew that my applications were accurate, my essays were interesting, and I was applying to the colleges that best fit me.

The college application process was daunting and overwhelming when I first began. However, after my very first meeting with Meredith, I was instantly comforted and knew that with her help, I’d be able to tackle the college application process. Within days of our first meeting, we had a schedule for writing my essays, and with frequent communication and check-ins, I was able to stay on task and get everything done in a timely manner. Meredith’s advice in creating a list of colleges and her amazing editing helped improve my many essays without altering my original ideas. I applied to 15 schools and was able to get everything in well before the deadlines thanks to Meredith’s careful schedule and planning. One thing that definitely helped me was the consistent communication via text messages, emails, calls and meetings. She was always available to answer any questions I had and help me brainstorm ideas for my essays. I am so grateful I was able to receive her help and I am very excited to be attending The University of Maryland this fall!

When I tell you to stop your search for a college admissions consultant with Meredith, I could not be more serious. We have known Meredith for over 20 years. She has worked with all 3 of our children, who could not have been more different in their individual strengths, their chosen career paths and their ideas of what a good college fit meant for them. Yet, Meredith adjusted for each of them, crafting a plan that suited their individual goals, and helping them choose colleges which met their expectations, afforded them the best chances for admission and offered them the best opportunities. Despite the stress and anxiety and confusion that permeates the college admissions process, each one of our children wound up at the college where they truly belonged and are thriving. We owe their successes, in large part, to Meredith, whose guidance and exhaustive knowledge and understanding of the ever-changing landscape of college admissions identified schools with the best fit for our children, and then steered them through the admissions process so that their applications and essays presented them in their best possible light.

Meredith was a huge help for both my daughter and I! We could not have survived the college admissions process without her. Her experience, expertise, communication and follow through were an invaluable support for our family. She is really good at motivating a high school student to complete the tasks required.
