What Students and Parents are Saying

I can confidently say is she will give her all. Even before college applications, she was able to help me plan for the future, form strong habits, and explore my passions. As the college application process began, she had everything planned from the timeline, making applying to many colleges quite stress-free. Ultimately, the personal roadmap she curated for me as well as the highly custom approach has helped me not only get into the college of my dreams but develop a skill set that will allow me to be successful beyond the near future.

Dr. Laird was phenomenal from start to finish. From organizing my list to completing application documents and making my final decision, she was organized and thorough. I always felt well-informed on the process and confident in the progress that we were making. In particular, her essay revision system was top notch . I was able to tell a cohesive and engaging story for each prompt. With Dr. Laird’s counsel, I got into 10 out of 12 schools, including my top 2 choices, and I will attend the University of Notre Dame in the fall. I highly recommend her services to anyone who needs a structured system for developing a college list or a boost to the strength of your applications !

Dr. Laird was my saving grace throughout my whole college admissions process. The support that I got from her and her team was absolutely phenomenal . She not only helped me with the actual application process, but she also helped me build my resume. From helping me create my first college list to revising my essays and applications, she was there every step of the way . What was truly amazing to me was the emotional support I received from Dr. Laird. She understood how stressful the whole process was and constantly reminded me that one college decision did not define who I was as a person.
