“Dr. B has been able to achieve more by her collaborative attitude with my son than I could have alone as a parent, and my son and I have actually grown closer through this college application process. By following Susan’s guidance and deadlines regarding preparation of his personal statement, my son was far ahead of his friends at the start senior year.
She has been with us each step of the way, helping advise regarding each essay’s approach, and helping my son express himself. Comparing my nephew’s college application experience last year and the stress it caused to his parents to my experience with my son this year, Dr. B’s help has made all the difference.
Her mentorship, scheduling framework, planning, and team-building with us have helped us have a smooth college application process instead of an intensely stressful situation. In addition to relieving stress, her services have opened my son’s eyes to schools he would not have considered otherwise. She has helped my son in his confidence as an applicant, and has helped him develop a stronger application.”

“Dr. B’s assistance walking our daughter through the college process has been priceless. She helped our daughter outline the application steps, gather resources, set timelines and research the colleges that best fit her academic goals. She was able to complete applications to 10 colleges all within early admission timeframes. Having a college consultant helped us streamline the college application process, made it less stressful and provided us the confidence our daughter was making the best choices for her future.“

“Dr. B was an invaluable resource throughout my application process. From the very beginning, she provided me with clear guidance on how to approach each step, offering insightful advice on essays, application strategies, and selecting the right schools. Her support boosted my confidence, and I truly believe her expertise helped me present my best self to admissions committees. Without her help, I wouldn’t have felt as prepared or as certain in my applications. Thanks to Dr. B, I feel like I had a much higher chance of getting into the schools I applied to. I would strongly advise anyone seeking guidance through the college application process to reach out to Dr. B—her dedication and support are truly unmatched..“

“I’ve been fortunate to have worked with Dr. Bishofberger and I can say with certainty that her support leading up to and throughout the college application process has enabled me to achieve more than I ever could have alone.
Some of her most critical support was with interview preparation. Without practicing and refining this skill with Dr. B, I would likely not have received several prestigious full-ride scholarship offers, nor would have been comfortable during “informational interviews” for selective universities. With her guidance, I was able to communicate my most valuable skills, characteristics, and experiences through a slew of high-pressure settings.”

Her planning and regular meetings helped our son stay on track which reduced the stress in our home and helped build our son’s confidence. I can’t recommend Dr. B. enough and I’m grateful that she was able to work with our family.“
