    MARK K., BATTLE MOUNTAIN HIGH SCHOOL, VAIL, CO.

    Susie helped our daughter with her college applications and essays. It was a huge relief for her to get feedback from someone other than her parents. Susie also provided resources for Emma to find out about the schools she wanted to apply to and how to connect with different people at these schools. We felt Emma had the best advice as she went through the college admission process.

    WILL M., CHERRY HILLS VILLAGE, CO

    I loved working with Susie. She was able to make the whole scary process of applying to college a lot less stressful than it was for a lot of my friends who didn’t work with a college consultant. I really liked my high school counselor, but she was just too busy to be able to help me much. Susie was fun to work with and always encouraging and supportive.

    ​MARY H., DENVER, CO

    Our son had worked with Susie in high school preparing for college. When he decided to apply to graduate school, we turned to College Direction again. Susie was just as knowledgeable about graduate school admissions as she was with undergraduate. He will be a starting his master’s degree at the University of Washington this fall.

    JACK D., CASTLE ROCK, CO

    ​I always knew I wanted to go to graduate school, but I wasn’t sure how to get there. My parents and my university were not able to give me much help. I called College Direction and knew from my conversation with Susie that she had the answers that I needed. Since I was out-of-town, we met online and it worked out really well. I am starting my graduate degree this fall at Northwestern University.
