In Their Own Words…

“Working with Mrs. Lichtenstein completely changed the way I approached the college admissions process. She took the time to understand who I was beyond my grades and activities, and helped me translate my experiences into applications that felt personal, cohesive, and genuinely reflective of me. From brainstorming standout essay ideas to refining the smallest details of my supplements, she was honest, meticulous, and incredibly invested at every step. Most importantly, she never tried to change my voice—she helped me strengthen it. I’m now a student at the University of Michigan, and I firmly believe that her guidance gave me the confidence to submit applications I was proud of.”

“Laurie was an immense support throughout my college journey. She helped me turn my thoughts into clear and concise essays. Whenever I had difficulty coming up with the words to say, she was there to work through my writer’s block. Not only did she guide me through the actual writing of essays, but she was also a huge source of emotional support for me. The college process can be draining and stressful. Whenever I felt overwhelmed, Laurie was there to provide me with the reassurance I needed. I owe her so much and would not be where I am today without her.”
