My Testimonials

“What would we have done without Brooke?!   She made the entire college admissions process as seamless and as stress-free as possible. Brooke’s clear explanations and kind demeanor put our minds at ease, reducing the natural nerves I had as a parent. She was always incredibly responsive, and her deep knowledge of the process helped us to develop a well-rounded list of schools and strategize about the best way to apply to each school. In addition, her essay editing skills are unparalleled. We couldn’t have navigated this journey without her expertise and support! How will we ever do anything again without seeking Brooke’s guidance?”

“I’m so grateful for Brooke’s guidance throughout the college application process. She was always available to answer my questions, offer advice, and provide strategies to help position me for success. She took so much stress out of the process. She helped me determine how and where to apply and present myself authentically. She eased my anxieties and was incredibly patient. In the end, I really feel that Brooke saw me as a person and not just as grades and test scores. I will always be grateful for Brooke’s guidance and support!”

Her help editing my essays was incredibly valuable and made a huge difference. I couldn’t have done it without her support!”

“Brooke Fernandez was an integral member of the Trinity College admissions office staff. As a professional in the field of higher education, she clearly understood the perspective of the selective liberal arts college and the many factors considered in the evaluation of applicants for admission. Brooke’s familiarity with virtually every aspect of this complex process makes her an invaluable resource to students seeking candid, well-informed, and thoughtful assistance in finding the right school and employing the appropriate strategies to get there. Brooke’s extensive experience with all constituencies of the Trinity College community, with many secondary school counselors throughout the country, and with hundreds of young students whose applications she assessed provide a broad, multifaceted foundation of expertise. You will find her personal style to be warm and forthright, and her professional substance to be immediately evident.”
