WHAT PARENTS AND STUDENTS SAY
First, I have to say thank you. For being a part of Clare's journey, and for all your help and guidance these past few years. Paul and I are thrilled she had so many outstanding choices of highly selective colleges to attend (we never thought a home educated student would be so enthusiastically received by Admissions in such a highly competitive applicant pool). We fully support her decision to attend Johns Hopkins Univ. She'll get a fantastic education, and from what we saw during our 4 days on campus, it is filled with kids like Clare, and that was - as you also observed - very important to her. Once again, our sincerest thanks and deep appreciation.

Thank you for all of your help with Julie. We are very excited for her & anticipate that we will see you again in a couple of years when her younger sister Jamie is ready to prepare to go off to college.

After interviewing several private college counselors, only one stood out as being exceptional. This counselor was not only a wealth of information, but had a kind and nurturing personality. I felt that she cared about her students and genuinely wanted them to be happy about their college choices. Whereas the other counselors had rigid guidelines about what “all of their students do,” Audrey Kahane listened to my daughter and formulated a plan custom designed to fit her needs. Ms. Kahane emphasized not what my daughter “should have done” in high school, but what she could do to increase her chances of acceptance to her first choice school.
Most of the schools my daughter applied to were excellent matches, but were schools we never would have even considered if not for Ms. Kahane. Through her frequent visits to colleges all over the country, she was empowered with information unobtainable from school catalogues or websites. Not only was Ms. Kahane invaluable during the college selection process, she also guided my daughter through high school class selection during her junior and senior years. She knew what standardized tests my daughter should take and when and how often to take them. My daughter received valuable constructive criticism and guidance on her essays, and every application and resume were proofread and polished. Ms. Kahane also helped us plan visits to different colleges and special open house presentations given by out of state schools.
My daughter was accepted at all 8 colleges to which she applied. Two years later, my son achieved similar success under the tutelage of Ms. Kahane. My third child has just been accepted Early Decision to her first choice school on the East coast despite tremendous competition. The amazing thing about the accomplishments of these three children is that none one of them had a GPA over 3.5 when applying to these schools!
In conclusion, our college application experience was stress free and enjoyable. I am honored to have the opportunity to recommend the services of Ms. Audrey Kahane. Good luck to your son or daughter at this very exciting time in their lives. I hope it is as successful for your children as it was for mine!

Thank you so much for all your help and guidance throughout this process. I wouldn't have even found this school if you hadn't helped me! I will definitely keep in touch. I'm counting the days until it starts!
Ariel D., Thousand Oaks
I just wanted to let you know how much Bill and I have appreciated your assistance to and guidance of Ariel in the admissions process. We are thrilled that she has chosen University of Puget Sound. I really feel that it embodies what we visualized for her as we were filling out your questionnaire 9 months ago. Most importantly she is thrilled with it.
Thank you again.
Sincerely,
Mary Ann D, Thousand Oaks
I saw Audrey with my son. I, of course, expected her to be knowledgeable about college possibilities, and she was. What really stood out with my experience with Audrey is her integrity. I fully expected to purchase her entire program and told her so at the beginning of the meeting. By the end of the meeting, her advice was to not purchase the package at that time because of our particular circumstance. I was truly amazed that she gave us advice that saved us money but basically cost her money! She definitely does keep her clients' best interest ahead of her own.

It has been a pleasure to have had you guiding Megan through the college admissions process.
On this journey, I feel we have been blessed with your presence, as we navigated the way. Your thoughtful responses put Megan at ease to reach out to you as a trusted advisor every time she faced a difficult situation. And your guidance has been invaluable.
Sincerely,
Raj and Hanita S., West Hills
Audrey has been there to answer any questions, as well as guide me through the larger decisions. She never hesitated to research things on her own, and provided me with new outlooks on many questions I had. Her research helped me form a list of potential colleges, and eventually find the right fit. I felt confident throughout high school knowing that I had Audrey by my side.
Megan S., West Hills
Thank you so much for all your help. You were really helpful not only in the process of applying to the colleges but also in deciding.
Dan L, Agoura
Thank you so much, Audrey, for your help with my essays. I was amazed at how much time and thought you put in – your input greatly improved my essays. I also want to thank you for the way in which you helped me. You were able to give criticism in a way that was easy to digest, making the already stressful process a little smoother. I know that I couldn’t have been as successful with my essays without your generous effort.
