My daughter really enjoyed working with Evan. She found him very supportive, guiding, and provided good advice. She felt more confident about her applications and essays after working with him. He had a flexible schedule for meeting. She appreciated the follow up after her acceptance results to strategize on next steps, too. I highly recommend Evan!
