I am very happy with the information and help Sean provided me and my family in regards to College Counseling and planning. It was very obvious from speaking to him the first time that he has many years of experience in this field and a wealth of knowledge to help you get to where you want to be. From finances to application prep, I cannot recommend Sean highly enough and we personally will keep working with him. It is rare to find someone who you completely trust with planning your life, and I'm glad to say that Sean is one of them.

Sean helped ease my anxiety around college applications. In my admissions process, I had a unique case as an athletic transfer. Given his wide variety of experience, he was able to provide expertise regardless. I appreciate his attention to detail and genuine care for those he works with!

Sean was expertly qualified and well versed in navigating the sea of information about scholarships, FAFSA, colleges, universities and on to graduate school.

He met all our Senior in high school’s needs in 1 x 90 minute session. His rate is reasonable, good pricing plan, we plan on using him for the rest of the family’s secondary education needs.

Thank you Sean! You’re the best!

Dear Sean,

I wanted to personally thank you for all the help and support during my long journey through the college admission process. I’ll admit that when my parents first mentioned getting outside help with my college admissions, I was skeptical and figured it would be a waste of time and money. After working with you, you certainly proved me wrong. Looking back now I’ve learned the college admission process is a lot more complex and time consuming than I could have imagined. Working with you provided me the confidence to pursue colleges I would normally think were not possible, but also give me good choices and guidance toward schools that were in my reach. This saved me time and reduced all the annoyance of writing unnecessary essays and visiting colleges I would have had little or no interest in.

The amazing thing is that you took the time to get to know me first and then helped me pursue an academic path that matched up to my personal goals towards the field of engineering. Your experience along with your personalized approach, made it easier for me to narrow down my selections and proved invaluable coaching through the college essays. Beyond helping me, you were able to give my parents some peace of mind by coming up with creative ways to apply for financial aid and apply for merit scholarships.

At first, the admission essays and personal statement were tough for me, but you made it simple. Your patience and support gave me the push I needed to stay on top of my applications while taking on a full IB diploma and water polo this semester. If I didn’t have you to stay on top of my progress, I know I would have put this off and would not have followed through nearly to the extent of what I was able to accomplish. It’s now early October and thanks to you, I’m nearly finished applying to over twelve colleges! I’m seeing the end in sight now and can focus back to my studies.

I would be more than happy to recommend Sean for anyone seeking sound, personal advice for their college admissions. He genuinely cares about student’s needs and has made a huge difference on my approach and strategy to attend the college of my dreams.

Sincerely,
Christian

Sean has been a wonderful addition to our team. His expertise on how best to finance our son's private college was the only way we could get him into his dream school. Sean understands our family dynamics, our current financial situation, our understanding of risk and where we want to go to as we get older. We trust Sean and recommend him to all our friends going through what we went through (plus we have another son who is a junior in high school so Sean better get ready for round 2!)

I highly recommend Premier College Counseling. Sean combines his extensive experience, expert insight, and practical advice to provide you with the most optimal strategy for navigating the entire college application process. Sean’s advice allowed me to use every part of the application to put my best foot forward. Additionally, he laid out the complicated financial responsibilities in a simple way that was easy to understand. I received multiple acceptance letters and attended my first choice school, Columbia University in New York City, and Premier College Counseling was a large part of my success.
