"We would tell any parent that Selective Admissions is worth every investment. Justin's process is thorough and personal - he takes the time to truly understand your child, not just their resume. If you are looking for someone who will guide your child to present their most authentic self, you don’t have to look any further."

I am incredibly grateful to have had Justin by my side throughout it all. From brainstorming essay ideas to offering steady guidance and reassurance, he was an invaluable source of support every step of the way. I truly don’t think I would have gotten into Harvard without his help, and I cannot thank him enough."

"Without Justin’s guidance and help, I strongly believe I would not have been accepted to the University of Pennsylvania.

I don’t think I would have been nearly as successful in the college admissions process without Justin."
-Mark P., Admitted to UPenn(Wharton)

Justin was incredibly valuable in guiding our student on how to stand out from all the noise—offering suggestions on which extracurriculars to invest more time in, helping craft the strongest essay responses, and answering all our questions along the way. He is extremely accessible and responsive, even during the most hectic times before deadlines."

Our conversations felt thoughtful and collaborative, and I found his advice very insightful and tailored to me. Justin helped me refine my essays to truly reflect my voice, and he always knew how to push my thinking just a bit further in a supportive way. I left each session feeling more confident and more excited about the process."

"Justin’s qualities make him stand out as a college counselor. Justin was a former college admissions officer and has plenty of experience in the whole realm of college applications, and I definitely saw this reflected in his work and advice. He’s incredibly insightful, with a deep understanding of what different colleges are looking for and how to help students position themselves authentically. He’s also a great listener—he really takes the time to understand your goals, interests, voice, and who you truly are as a person, which made his feedback very tailored and meaningful. His calm, steady presence was also quite reassuring during what can be a really overwhelming time. Given all of these qualities, I had a great experience overall working with Justin and having him as a college counselor."
