With Cathleen S, this is our second time around. She was instrumental in helping our child to craft a unique narrative. And her long time experience in college admissions helps us navigate through the small, yet sticky questions that are bound to come up in this process. We are so thankful for her expert counsel!

We are incredibly thankful to Will Giles for his expertise and guidance. He started working with our son when he was in 9th grade. He helped him grow as a person into a young man. Will’s advice has pushed him to learn and expand in a wide variety of ways. Will’s incisive ability to provide expert perspective on everything leading up to my son’s applications and during the application process made a huge difference. I questioned many things along the way but Will knew what he was doing. In the end, we trusted the process and it worked. Our son was accepted to a highly selective university that was his top choice. Solomon's strategy was effective and we are very appreciative.

Overall our Solomon experience was excellent. Our son was fortunate to work with advisor Will Giles and was accepted at his first choice (which was honestly a real reach). Will helped our son come up with a strategic plan starting in his sophomore year. The plan laid out a guide map of activities and initiatives to build a cogent story around his strategic positioning. Starting the summer before senior year, Will worked with our son to get a lot of application work (essays/activity lists/resume) done, which made the process much more palatable during a busy senior fall. Will had an excellent understanding of the nuances of the college selection and application process. His in depth knowledge of what each school looks for was a gamechanger in how our son approached each application. Our son was also trying to play a college sport, and Will was also flexible with the sudden changes that occurred during that process. Getting into college isn't easy these days, and working with Will and Solomon gave our son a noticeable edge. Highly recommend.

Excellent Work I had a great time working with Solomon Admissions and my consultant Will Giles. The work he did was meticulous and ensured that I was pointed in the right direction. From assisting me with essays to aiding me with interviews, he helped me with all and for that I am very glad.

Maura helped both of our children with the college application process and we couldn't be more satisfied. She is straightforward, practical, extremely responsive, balanced, kind, wise, 100% spot on in her assessments, and an absolute pleasure to work with. She's an exceptional writer and communicator. We could not imagine a better experience. We are extremely grateful.

Big help! Thank you!

We had a such a positive experience with Solomon Admissions and Maura Connors. Maura worked with our daughter starting in 10th grade, and really listened to our daughter’s interests and goals. Maura helped our daughter shape a compelling pathway of courses and activities, weaving in all of our daughters interests, and she was successful at inspiring our daughter to follow with focus! With Maura’s guidance, our daughter had many choices within top 20 schools, including all of the schools we contracted with Solomon to guide her through - plus the only Ivy she applied to, and she got many merit awards from her target and safety schools. Highly recommend Solomon!

Consultant was great, we had issues with timing and flexibility few times where our daughter had her deadlines/finals at school and when he said he will not make time for her bcz he has other students too. That part was difficult otherwise everything was good.
