EA Success Stories

Jessie has been helping and supporting my triplets since their sophomore year! We started with her at that time because the kids were looking to get additional advice as high achieving student-athletes (besides just that of their guidance counselor at school) as far as helping them with their schedules and deciding how many Honors and AP classes to take. She helped us in those early days with class selections, tutors, and SAT/ACT prep recommendations.

Then moving on to junior year, by that time…

Congratulations to all of our applicants! Your hard work has paid off, and your successes are commendable - and all your own!

Hollie, whose daughter was accepted at Muhlenberg University, wrote the following testimonial for Elevated Admissions. “Jessie was absolutely wonderful for Emily... She also kept me sane. Emily. Was a somewhat unique situation. We did not use a college coach when Emily was looking for colleges the first time around. She was a 4.0 plus student with all honors and AP courses. Emily also was going the student-athlete route. We decided on a small school outside of Boston. From the moment Emily arriv…

Jessie took her time to get to know Robert and get to know what his likes and dislikes were in school and in life. She also really spoke to him and listened to him about what was important to him in college. She understood my concerns as a parent as to the distance away a college was and the expense for each college. She worked to fit the college to the student. She encouraged Robert with just the right amount of pressure to meet his deadlines and really took the time to help him write an approp…

Jessie is a strong writer, and she and her team's feedback on essays are critical. We have learned more and more with each child that those essays are very important to admissions counselors. She is also quite adept at remembering off the top of her head what each college expects in terms of scores, grades, visits, etc., and is very practical at matching a child's dreams with reality.

I used Jessie for both of my children, and they both were accepted to their first-choice colleges before Halloween of their senior year. Jessie made the whole college application process stress-free for me and my children. She provides timelines, guidance, and support through the whole process, making what can be an overwhelming undertaking something that can be navigated with ease. I would recommend Jessie and her team at Elevated Admissions 100% when it comes time for you to begin your college…

We worked with Jessie and her team more than once. She worked with our oldest who went on to Penn State University Park. In what can be a stressful time it is wonderful to have Jessie's knowledge and support. I knew we would be sure to stay on task and not miss deadlines or important requirements. Our daughter was aiming to be admitted into highly competitive Physician Associate accelerated programs and Jessie and her team provided invaluable and timely guidance throughout the process. 

IECA is 40! Forty years of dedication to helping students and families navigate educational paths. Ethically, soundly, and professionally. SNAP. I am grateful and honored to be a part of such a swell group of folks.  In this issue of INSIGHTS you'll find an article I recently wrote on our culture of extremes — and how educational consultants work tirelessly to help students find a way to move forward. Because that is what doing this work is all about.

Years ago, during a shopping excursion at the Tannersville Outlet Center in eastern Pennsylvania, I wandered into the Cole Haan store. I browsed the offerings a few times but found I kept returning to a pair of strappy dress sandals. Summer is nearly here, I told myself. And just look at the lovely box complete with scripted Cole Haan on the outside!

I gave in and tried them on. The straps were toward the front of the shoe, and while the heel was just the right height, those straps felt a litt…
