Testimonials
Jori is very approachable, knowledgeable and organized. She is aware of the latest information, for example Digital SAT, Common App etc. Her own kids have recently gone through the same process and we liked that she worked with our child directly yet kept us well-informed .Our sons were busy with schoolwork, a job & sports and Jori paced activities so that they felt manageable.

​Jori is very organized and knowledgeable in the field of college admissions and gives expert advice. She takes a process that is typically thought of as overwhelming and stressful and makes it manageable and actually fun! The detailed timeline and the way the process is divided into very manageable tasks done over the course of 12 months so that it never piles up or feels overwhelming. My children were FAR ahead of their peers who were not working with Jori and they were able to feel more relaxed and enjoyed the entire experience. I also really appreciated the relationship that she developed with each of my children during this process - We are 2 for 2 with excellent experiences and choices that both of my children have loved.

We truly appreciated the hand holding, organization and attention to detail Jori provided our son and daughter in their essay writing and completing their applications. We found the information she provided on the financial side FAFSA forms and such was helpful as well. I went to a "College Workshop" night at my daughter's school, and I realized how much help Jori was after seeing the stress the other parents were under. There were questions around the room about essays and what buttons to click on common apps and I was able to sit there relaxed, drinking my coffee and chatting with another parent who utilizes Jori’s services.

Jori was always prepared and organized and makes the student feel like they’re her only client. Her great inside info on schools helped provide realistic expectations. She keeps the responsibility on the student and makes them accountable with a very clear timeline and deadlines. Bringing us parents in only when necessary. It’s clear that Jori really cares about the students and we really appreciate that. We’ve referred her to several friends and anyone who asks we tell them to go to Jori!

Jori is incredibly knowledgeable, practical, and resourceful. Her overall very calm, level-headed demeanor helped us significantly de-escalate a stressful situation! She is very organized with advance preparation for each meeting and a list of follow-up tasks for the student to complete. Her matrix of schools is very easy to read and helpful in making a large amount of information more understandable. All the discussions we had were challenging until we started working with you. Once you stepped in to help, we were able to manage the process much better!
