TESTIMONIALS
"Meeting you last night was wonderful. I cannot thank you enough for your time and insights. The road to college doesn't feel as lonesome or as frightening. Thank you so much! We'll be looking forward to working with you!"
High School Rising Senior, August 2010
"Now that this process has come to a close, I find it hard to thoroughly express my words of gratitude. Although I had already sent my first child off to college with the help of another college counselor, there is absolutely no comparison to the guidance, the time, and the dedication you showed us. From the initial personality assessment, the college list, the endless hours of brainstorming essay ideas, through the complete review of the Common Application and all the Supplements, you helped us remain focused and encouraged. I truly felt that you treated my daughter as your own child in this process ascertaining every step of the way what the right course of action would be for her and where she would be happiest. You kept us on target with your outstanding organizational skills at the same time keeping us excited every step of the way. I truly do not think I have ever met a more positive and enthusiastic person! Something that at first seemed daunting gradually unfolded into a fun and exciting adventure. We are left with wonderful memories and a very exciting future as she prepares to join the Class of 2014! Our sincerest thanks!"
High School Senior Parent, March 2010
"The absolute best thing about Debbie Davis was that she kept me
organized and on track with my college forms, essays and applications.
I was on top of my college work at all times. My essays were completed
months before their deadline. She saved me from any unnecessary stress
in my senior year. Thank you Mrs Davis, my senior year has been
amazing!"
High School Senior, March 2010
"Our experience with Debbie Davis was one of total satisfaction. Debbie is truly a professional in every sense. She spent hours explaining to us every facet of the college search. Her attention to detail, her positive and enthusiastic personality, and her accurate knowledge of her business is impressive. Reference books to purchase, identifying appropriate schools to visit, preparing my child for personal interviews with admission counselors, are only a small part of her professional curriculum... We cannot thank you enough, Debbie Davis, for guiding our child and us through one of the most important exercises in her life, and teaching her the importance of preparation and attention to detail. Many thanks for your warm personal attention and outstanding professionalism".
High School Senior Parents, March 2010
"Mrs. Davis was exceptionally helpful to me in my college search process. From the moment I stepped into her home and shook hands with her, I could tell it was going to be a very positive experience. However, I never could have imagined how positive and helpful my experience with her would be. Mrs. Davis made me feel like the most important client of hers despite having other students in the same position as me. She was someone I immediately knew I could tell my entire past to, which in turn helped me write such a strong college essay. Every time I was in her office working on a certain part of my college portfolio, I felt very prepared and positive that having her, as my college planner was one of the best decisions my family and I have made. From the way she prepares herself for each client before every meeting and the way she works down to the final detail, I knew my chances of getting accepted into college were getting better with every meeting. I went into the process confused and worried about my future and came out prepared and accepted into four schools, currently enrolling in one. I credit almost everything to her. Yes, I did the work but it would not have been nearly as well done or convincing if I had not had the pleasure of having Mrs. Davis assisting me every step of the way. I don’t have enough good things to say about her and the way she approaches her business but I will say that I wish everyone who is going through the college process could have Mrs. Davis as their college advisor".
High School Senior, March 2010
"I can't thank you enough for sharing your insights and experience with me. Our phone call last week was incredibly helpful- lots of practical information and advice. You have done such an impressive job of putting together a highly professional practice- you've certainly set the bar high! Thanks again for your help and encouragement".
IECA Colleague, March 2010
"Deb Davis is a highly organized and knowledgeable professional who actually makes the dreaded college search/application process a pleasurable experience for both students and parents! Deb's upbeat and encouraging manner combined with her thorough analysis of the student and her knowledge of the schools results in a list of college choices that are the best "fits." From there, Deb keeps students on track with a timeline, application and essay review and helpful tips all along the way. The final result for my daughter -- a clean sweep of acceptances from every college she applied to! I highly recommend Deb as an excellent ally in the college search and application process".
College Freshman Parent, January 2010
"I really enjoyed your presentation. I have two daughters, too (a senior at RHS and one already in college) and the info you gave was more valuable than anything I've heard before!"

As you recall, she really struggled in high school, but she got straight A’s her first semester – we are absolutely thrilled. Your help with her college applications was invaluable, and as you can see, when a kid has a passion for a field, and you get the right school, it makes all the difference."
College Freshman Parent, January 2010
"I wanted to reach out to you and let you know of my appreciation. Thank you so much for all your guidance with the college search process. There are questions that come up ever day, (it seems), and it calms me to know you are always there for me. Your support of the boys runs deep- your positive and fun attitude- your cards- your expertise- and now your true interest in their future. I am grateful for all you do for us."
High School Senior Parent, November 2009

"Thanks to you...did very well on her interview at ...University. He was quite impressed with her resume, courses and questions she asked him regarding the school. Your help was greatly appreciated!!! I don't think we would have been able to complete this process without you!!"
High School Senior and Parent, November 2009
“Worked with Deb and her DEC organization to guide us through the college review, selection and application process for our son. Could not have been happier. She established and kept us on a proactive and tight path and timeline resulting in completion of the process well in advance relieving us of most of the turmoil, anxiety and stress associated with launching a child into college. She is now guiding our second through the journey...”
College Freshman and High School Junior Parent, November 2009

She is an IECA colleague and, as such, I have had many opportunities to speak with her regarding her work with students in the college search. She is warm, caring, and innovative in her quest to find the right fit and match for her students in their choose of college. Her workshop program brings outstanding resources to parents and students at an affordable rate. Deborah is a truly outstanding member of the Educational Consulting profession."
