“Our experience with Hilary has opened us up to a whole new world of education. While my husband and I attended Canadian universities, our son had his own ideas about attending a U.S. university. We were reticent at first, but in the end were very impressed with what we learned about U.S. Schools in terms of small class sizes, access to expert faculty starting in first year, co-op and other opportunities on an international scale, and large endowments which allow financial aid and scholarships. We have also appreciated Hilary’s perspective, enthusiasm and expertise. She is very down to earth and easy to have honest conversations with, and she genuinely cares about her students. She gets to know them so that she can advise based on individual strengths and interests. She coordinated meetings and calls with our son, while always welcoming my calls when we needed more information or advice as a family; and she is very proactive when it comes to problem solving. Ultimately, Mark received several admission offers and scholarships (including a total of $570, 000 from 4 different schools), and has decided to attend Princeton University in the fall. He is fortunate enough to be participating in Princeton’s Bridge Year Program and will be spending his first year abroad in Bolivia, doing community service work as well as learning through travel and outdoor pursuits.”
