I thought you might like to see our daughter’s acceptance letter from Cornell. We are elated. The Princeton coach also indicated that he would get her through the admission process.
Thank you so very much for all you did to help make this happen. Our daughter’s essays turned out awesome and the videos you edited are what caught the coach’s eyes.”

“Teacher, parent, guidance counselor; your’e all of the above. You went above and beyond helping me in the entire college process. Thank you for guiding my plan towards my dream college and helping me determine my future. Thank you for keeping me sane, getting stuff done and still finding time to laugh along the way. Your professionalism and care is evident in what you do. You will always have a place in my heart.”

“Marilyn O’Toole was an absolute gift to our family as our daughter went through the college application process. This was our second child applying to college and this time it was virtually stress free! She kept our daughter on schedule, in control and, most importantly, confident. By the time she began her senior year, she had decided to which schools she would apply, was almost finished with her essays and was ready to face the last of her standardized testing. She achieved what we thought would be impossible!”
​

I’m writing to thank you so very much for all your wonderful help during the tough college application process. I could not have accomplished nearly as much without you. You brought me comfort and especially helped me in stressful times. Though I’m excited and relieved the process is almost over, I am sad our time together is done. Again, thank you and I hope to always stay in touch.

“Marilyn knows how to highlight students’ strengths. The students I’ve interviewed are well prepared to discuss why they think my university is a good fit for them.”

“Navigating the overwhelming task instead of fun and exciting. Marilyn’s guidance helped us change our perspective to a positive one. She was so knowledgable, enthusiastic and informative with all aspects of the process. After a thorough discussion about all facets of our child, including his personality and possible future interests, Marilyn pinpointed many school options that we had never thought about. Marilyn’s mock interview gave my son confidence and he actually enjoyed his real interviews !”
