“Emily’s support throughout the college application process was critical to my success. While I’m not intimidated by writing in general, writing an essay for a college application felt like a particularly daunting task. How was I supposed to differentiate myself from every other high school senior? What could make my experience jump off the page to an admissions officer? It felt like there was a second language I didn’t know how to speak. Emily’s calming demeanor and keen sense of what admissions officers are looking for boosted my confidence. I knew with her support that I was putting my best foot forward on my application and specifically with my essay. I got into my top choice school. I highly recommend Lodestar Admissions for anyone who is looking for support throughout the college admissions process.”

“Emily’s guidance and encouragement were exactly what my daughter needed to get her application over the finish line. She provided insightful and detailed feedback that helped J highlight her strengths and made her really shine. Working with teenagers can be tricky but Emily was able to establish a quick rapport with J which made the process a joy rather than a pain. J was accepted to 4 out of the 5 schools she applied to—we are thrilled [with the results]!”

“Emily was amazing! She was very helpful with editing my essays. She provided very detailed and valuable feedback for my applications . She helped with the essays for each school. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Emily. She took my applications to a whole new level! I have been accepted to all 5 colleges”
