Solomon Admissions ConsultingReviews of solomonadmissions.com

Solomon performed on all levels with no flaws. Always an email away and responses very quick as we had things come up and wanted advice. The standard ongoing consulting is also very well thought out and our specific consultant was very knowledgeable and well matched to our daughter.

We have now worked with Shayla at Solomon with two of our high school children. Shayla has been absolutely outstanding and if I could give her 10 out of 5 stars I would. She has helped us navigate the confusing world of college admissions with ease. She gives the kids clear direction, attainable goals, and has answered innumerable questions from me and the kids. She has undoubtably given our kids the best chance possible to get into their desired colleges.

Philana Tenhoff did an amazing job at keeping me on task throughout my high school years. She helped me find research and suggest me resources to help strengthen my application. Now that I am in the application process, her feedback and guides have been helpful, and I hope to have positive results when admissions are released.

My consultant always provides helpful and supportive advice! I am always able to reach out to her and get a response quickly!

We started working with Carla Crooker fairly late, when our child was in the second half of 11th grade. However, Carla quickly understood his strengths and immediately suggested a few extracurriculars to strengthen overall profile. She also provided complete clarity on course selection. She was practical in her approach to college selections, ensuring a balanced list of reach, target, and safety schools. During the application process, Carla was diligent in reviewing essays, often going through several rounds of revisions. As a result of her tremendous guidance, our child was admitted to multiple excellent schools, including Ivy League colleges.

The advice I've been given has been tailored, straightforward and actionable, as well as reasonable to my schedule.

I recently finished a 7 year journey working with Solomon for my two sons. Worked with their senior consultant, Peter Zimmerman for both of them. Older son is class of Duke 2024, and the younger one just started this Fall at Vanderbilt. It was such a rewarding experience to see my 2 kids grow, learn, adjust, and finally end up at their dream colleges. Can't say enough about the guidance and insight we received from Peter Z throughout the process (too many to list). Highly recommend Solomon if the aspiration and affordability is there for admissions in elite colleges.

Our positive experience with Solomon Admissions has been largely due to our counselor, Delphine Byrd. While the Solomon program has been insightful, Delphine brought it to life. She finds the right balance between conveying what is a “must do” and adapting the program to maximize the strengths and interests of our son. We feel fortunate to have started the process early (before 9th grade started) so as to leverage Delphine’s expertise in course selection and overall positioning.
