Thanks for all your help Jackie. I must say that my son and I are both very impressed with IvyWise. No matter what happens in this process, we have no regrets about hiring your company. You have definitely had a positive impact. I want you to know that now, before we know where he will be accepted. Both my son and I are very pleased with the services of your company. I meant all the good things I've said about IvyWise.

As Isabelle's senior year rapidly approached, we started to panic about her college applications. As soon as I spoke with Jackie Shapiro at IvyWise, I began to calm down. Jackie met with Isabelle and they tackled each portion of the applications. She started by asking Isabelle to write about herself, unedited, so that Jackie could get a sense of who Isabelle is and what is important to her. The personal statement that came out of this exercise captured our daughter's voice perfectly. She kept Isabelle to a schedule that was very workable and, happily, not too stressful. Jackie has a calm, down-to-earth approach that we all appreciated. She had a wonderful way of asking questions to draw out the most interesting aspects in Isabelle's writing and we were all extremely happy with the finished applications. Thank you, Jackie, and the IvyWise team for your invaluable help.
