College & Career Advising

"I had a spectacular time working with Ms. Prout on my college essays. Ms. Prout holds a special skill that brings out the best in her clients. In my situation, I was excelling at school but I had no clear direction on what I wanted to do in the future. Ms. Prout referred me to career videos that cultivated my interests and helped me pick out a job that I based my essays around. Her judgment helped me find what was best for me, which allowed me to write my perfect application. What is most special about Ms. Prout is her commitment to her clients. She definitely dedicates herself and goes far beyond what is expected to help achieve your goals. If you have a target school, let her know. She will work tirelessly so that this goal becomes a reality."

"As a first generation college student and immigrant, I was overwhelmed by the college application process because I didn’t know where to start and what I could do to distinguish myself from tens of thousands of other applicants. I was blessed to be introduced to Ms. Prout. From our first meeting, I felt that she genuinely cared about my success and personal growth. She didn’t just apply a standardized formula for her students’ applications, but rather she spent a lot of time getting to know who I am and what drives me, so that I could craft the best version of my own story. I remember when we were revising my Common App essay together, she was so meticulous that she pushed me to contemplate over every sentence, every word of the essay to maximize the potential in my storytelling. I really could not have been where I am today without her guidance as my college counselor and more importantly, my life mentor."

"I cannot express my gratitude enough for the exceptional support and guidance that Ms. Prout provided me in preparing my activities and personal essay for the Common App. From the first conversation, she was patient, kind, and attentive, taking the time to listen
carefully to my concerns and needs. With Ms. Prout's help, I was able to craft a compelling personal essay that truly
captured my unique voice and experiences. She was also incredibly helpful in brainstorming and organizing my activities, helping me to highlight the most
meaningful and impactful experiences I have had in high
school. With her expertise and guidance, I was able to
present a comprehensive and impressive profile to
admissions committees. Overall, I am grateful
for her invaluable assistance in the college application process. Her support gave me confidence in my application and helped me put my best foot forward. I would highly recommend Mrs. Prout to anyone seeking help with their college application materials, and I am confident that she will provide the same level of care and expertise to others as she did for me."

"Extremely happy to have met Ms. Prout. Her skills are
exceptional. She helped me bolster my personal statement for a Top 10 school. She is amazing at what she does. Within two hours she was able to understand my goals, history, and qualifications. She then helped me construct an exceptionally powerful personal statement/essay for one of the best institutes in the
country. Her skills are exceptional at teaching you how to write a correct response, helping you in making
your essay simply outstanding. Taking it 10 notches up! Not only is she exceptional in her college application mentoring and essay services, she truly wants her students to succeed, with all her heart. There were times when I had questions and would reach out to Ms. Prout outside our sessions regarding my application. She would
give her expert advice even then. She truly believes in the success of her students and helps them out with complete dedication and spirit. Thank you, Ms. Prout, for your help and expert advice."
