“A good friend of mine referred me to Alison this past fall. My oldest daughter is a senior this year and was hopelessly behind on the college application process. Alison was helpful and encouraging in every aspect from setting up the Common App to guiding and editing essays. She gave suggestions of universities we hadn't even considered she thought would be a good fit for my daughter. Her insightful ideas and recommendations for colleges are the main reason my daughter was accepted to all seven of the universities she applied to. It was such a relief to have someone knowledgeable and easy to work with to walk us through an otherwise stressful time. I will definitely be using her services when my other two girls start junior year.”

Working with Alison proved to be a excellent fit for my son and helped relieve stress during the college application process. She takes the time to get to know students personally and guide both parents and students with contagious positivity and extensive knowledge. I wish I had known of her services with my older children.”

"Working with GravesGuide2College was the best decision we made during my daughter’s high school years. From choosing the right classes to perfecting her essays, she felt supported every step of the way. As a parent, I appreciated the organization and peace of mind. She ended up with multiple college acceptances—including her top choice!"

“While working with Alison, I was very impressed by the way she was able to elaborate on my thoughts and ideas in a concise and simple way which enabled me to develop my college writing direction I previously overlooked.”
