Marvin Ridge Student, CO’2025
“I am so thankful for Jade’s help and words of wisdom throughout the college application process! From the day we started working together, I felt more confident as I developed my writing skills and finalized my applications. Jade’s feedback on my essays was direct and timely, enabling me to articulate my story clearly and share more about myself with each school. Additionally, several interview preparation sessions with Jade helped develop my communication skills and reduced feelings of stress during the conversations. Jade encouraged me to be honest about who I was and my experiences, which was greatly reflected in my college process success. Overall, Jade was a fantastic mentor throughout the process, and I credit her constant support with my acceptance into several top 20 schools, including Cornell and Duke, where I committed as a full-ride merit scholar.”
