Julian helped me transfer to one of the most competetive majors and schools (UCLA computer Science with less than 5% acceptance rate!), and made it look easy. Very responsive, and he is still in contact with me in case I have any questions. Big shout out to him and his great work. 6 stars if I could give him.

This is long overdue but Julian Brooks is a great counselor and really helped me. He is very flexible and easy to work with, and is also always available to answer questions. I was really late looking for a counselor but Julian worked with me from day 1 to help me get up to speed and really helped me improve and strengthen my essays. He also made navigating the application process and all the different forms I had to fill out much easier to do.
Of everything he did, his help with the logistical aspect of the college application process really removed a lot of stress. A lot of my friends had a lot of trouble with this, something I did not have to worry about because of Julian. This allowed me to focus more on writing my application rather than figuring out what to fill out and when to fill it out. In the end, I managed to get into some top universities so I am really happy about my decision and would recommend EdMD to any parents that are looking for a college counselor for their kid. Thank you Julian!

Julian Brooks at EdMD was an asset to have for my daughter's college preparation. He listened to all of our needs, he walked her through the preparation for college applications and admissions. He was there for all of our questions and concerns. He prepared her months ahead of time for the application and financial aid processes. He meet with her on a regular basis and updated myself. He was amazing when it came time for the application process and he made it so much easier on all of us. He stayed on top of her regarding her deadlines and helped her begin preparing her admissions essays and information months in advance along with reviewing and giving her insight and advice on improving her essays. I recommend using the service and especially recommend Julian. My daughter was accepted into several schools including UC Berkeley and UCLA. She will be attending UCLA this fall.

With Julian's assistance, I recently finished my college applications, and I can't say enough wonderful things about the process. I couldn't be more grateful to him for his advice and assistance in helping me get admitted into UC Irvine as a Business Administration student—my top college and major.

From the very beginning, Julian was incredibly attentive and took the time to get to know me as a person and understand my goals and aspirations for college. With his help, I was able to submit a strong and personalized application that truly showcased my strengths and accomplishments. His extensive knowledge of the college admissions process was evident at every turn, and I never felt like I was navigating the process alone.

Ultimately, I couldn't be happier with the results of his counseling services. I was accepted into my top college, and I know that it wouldn't have been possible without his help. I would highly recommend EdMD services to anyone who is looking for guidance and support in the college admissions process!

Julian Brooks at EDMD has been absolutely amazing! He supported 2 of our 3 daughters with their college experience.

With both of our daughters, he provided feedback and created a customized plan, suggested courses and even took the time to help us during the dreading appeal process.

His grounded approch to deal with the schools has been stellar. Because of his creative approach my daughters aid and grants increased significantly compared to what was originally offered at UC Santa Cruz and at the University of San Francisco. Not to mention, being admitted to multiple great schools.

I'm extremely greateful and if I could rate him 10stars I would. Best investment ever! Thank you so much, Julian, I'm looking to continue to work with you!

I used EdMD to get assistance submitting my FAFSA for the 24-25 academic year. Dan was instrumental in navigating the chaos of the botched overhaul of the FAFSA this year, ensuring that our family was able to avoid the issues that plagued so many people this year. In addition, the aid that I received far exceeded the price that I paid - I highly recommend EdMD's financial aid counseling services.
