We cannot recommend Julia Jones highly enough. We came to her in October with an incredibly compressed timeline for November 1st college applications, and she immediately stepped in with a calm, organized plan that kept our daughter on track every step of the way.

Julia was kind, encouraging, and motivating while also holding our daughter accountable. Thanks to her guidance, our daughter was accepted to most of the colleges she applied to and received generous merit scholarships, even from reach schools.

Perhaps the greatest gift Julia gave our family was taking the pressure off of us as parents. During our daughter’s senior year, I didn’t want to become the drill sergeant constantly reminding her about deadlines and applications, creating unnecessary tension between us. Julia effortlessly took that burden off our shoulders, allowing us to simply support and enjoy our daughter’s final year of high school.

We are so grateful for Julia’s expertise, warmth, and professionalism, and would recommend her without hesitation. In fact, we’ll absolutely be working with her again when it’s time for our son to apply to college.

I hired Ms. Emily Tofflemire to help with my high schooler with her college application process. We chose Emily because she had the experience both as a high school college counselor and also as the admissions officer at a highly selective college. Emily was very diligent, proactive, insightful, quick to reply to any questions that we had. She thoroughly reviewed key online applications with my high schooler before submission to make sure there were no errors. Thanks to Emily, my child was accepted early at her top choice school (plus a number of other great schools). We had a relaxing Xmas in my child's senior year in high school when my child's friends were busy applying to schools. Now my child is graduating from college, we want to say how much we appreciate everything Emily had done for our family. My child often thanked me for having found Emily to help her. Emily took a lot of the stress out of the process. Thank you!

As the parent of a first-time college applicant, I cannot say enough about the exceptional support Ian provided through Bright Horizons College Coach. From start to finish, he served as a trusted mentor, offering the perfect balance of strategic guidance, deep expertise, and genuine empathy.

Ian has a remarkable ability to empower students to advocate for themselves while still providing the structure and insight families need during what can often feel like an overwhelming process. My son became more confident and thoughtful about his choices because of Ian’s approach — and with Ian’s guidance, he ultimately secured admission to his top-choice school, Northeastern.

I also want to highlight how user-friendly the College Coach tools and resources were. The platform made it easy for my son to reflect on what he truly wanted from his college experience and helped bring clarity to each step of the journey.

We are incredibly grateful for Ian’s partnership and would wholeheartedly recommend Bright Horizons College Coach to any family navigating the college process.

My coach, Scott was fantastic. He helped me tremendously with each step of my college applications. From helping me narrow down schools I was interested in to writing my essays, Scott helped streamline and ease the process, and was overall a very resourceful and pleasant person to work with.

College Coach is an amazing resource for navigating through the college application process. Ms. Lauren Randle worked with me and my two older sisters and provided excellent guidance. Ms. Randle helped me in so many ways - reviewing essays, prioritizing colleges, and keeping me on track to meet all my deadlines. My two older sisters are happy students at Georgetown University. I've had great success with early action and hopeful for some more great schools at regular decision! Thank you Ms. Randle and College Coach!
