TESTIMONIALS

Maren P.

Irvington HS, (NY) Class of 2024, McGill University, Class of 2028 (environmental biology)

"Tanya Hunt is the absolute best in the biz. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable about all facets of the college application process, she makes it feel fun (or about as fun as applying to college can be). I applied to schools on the Common App, the UC system, and an international school. Tanya expertly guided me through all types of applications. When I was feeling overwhelmed and/or stressed, she knew exactly how to help me figure out which tasks needed to be completed. I’m someone who constantly procrastinates, and Tanya really helped me stay on target without making me dread deadlines. I truly cannot recommend her enough, especially if you’re new to the college application process and feel lost. She is THE expert and will make the entire process a whole lot easier."

Adam R.

Irvington HS, (NY) Class of 2023, Penn State University, Class of 2027 (journalism)

“I was so excited about the list of schools Tanya created for me! She took time to understand my priorities and never treated me like a kid. My college applications were a hundred times stronger than they would have been without her help. Our weekly meetings kept me focused on the end goal, and she was the first person I called when I was accepted to my top-choice college.”

Pat H.

Parent of a daughter, Irvington HS (NY) Class of 2024, attending Loyola Marymount University (dance), Class of 2028

"Tanya was a blessing throughout the college admissions journey. We appreciated her patience and diligence in sticking to an established timeline. She started meeting with my youngest daughter at the beginning of her junior year and developed a plan to identify schools that would meet her objectives. Tanya worked with my daughter to define and articulate those objectives. She is an incredible resource for parents during what can be an overwhelming process. My daughter lost her mother in the spring of her junior year, and Tanya’s empathy allowed my daughter to continue to work on identifying and applying to the right schools through a difficult time. We are indebted to Tanya and thankful my daughter will be attending Loyola Marymount University in the fall."

Lynne P. and Chris R.

Parents of a son, Irvington HS, (NY) Class of 2023, attending Penn State University, Class of 2027

“A friend told us, ‘Tanya will be your secret weapon,’ and she was right! Tanya demystified the college application process and supported us at every step. We asked a billion questions, and she answered every last one—promptly, thoroughly and patiently. Parents are hit with so much advice and “noise” at college-application time, but leaning on Tanya’s deep institutional knowledge allowed us to filter it all out, and saved us so much time and stress. We could not have imagined having a better partner for our son’s college journey.”
