"Our family was truly blessed to have worked with Cindy Turner. Our son and daughter received excellent motivation, guidance and assistance from Cindy. The planning and application processes for college admittance can be extremely daunting, but Cindy made it manageable. Cindy made a possibly overwhelming and frustrating process rewarding and much less stressful. Our children both valued Cindy's advice and were extremely happy with their overall experience (and so were their parents)." - parent, Classes of 2009 and 2011
"I am a Wealth Advisor and I think this is the best investment I ever made. Both of my girls would have gotten in a college, but Cindy empowered them to take control of the process and led them to determine their next destination. My daughter is now using all those skills in college. Cindy is awesome and the impact she has made on my girls is life changing." - parent, Classes of 2015 and 2016
"Cindy's guidance and expertise gave us peace of mind and calmed our fears as we prepared to send our first child to college. Our daughter received personalized and objective feedback, from deciding which classes to take in high school to what schools to consider, to receiving her acceptance letters and preparing to leave for college. Working directly with Cindy, our student owned the process and was responsible for essays, applications and meeting all deadlines for her prospective schools. As parents we were there for support when needed, but we did not experience the stress and anxiety that many other parents experienced. We couldn't imagine going through the process with our younger children without working with Cindy." - parent, Class of 2015
Having Cindy as a counselor relieved stress like Xanax. With her help, we were able to see our goals very clearly. She narrowed down our options to a list of schools that were best for our son and the family. Working with Cindy is working with the big leagues. She had our son take personality tests to find what options fit his profile. Cindy made sure he met all deadlines and edited all of his essays and documents. She knew exactly what was needed in his essays and resumes to distinguish him from the others. She also highlighted the aspects of his academic profile in which he was lacking. In the end, he was accepted to every college he applied to. Not only that but he won full ride merit scholarships to two major universities. We might not have been able to do it without Cindy. - parent, Class of 2017 Cindy from day one helped guide my daughter with peace of mind in this hard process. Cindy took the time to get to know my daughter one-on-one which allowed her to speak freely about herself and her goals. Cindy started with Taylor early helping her navigate high school classes so the process of thinking about colleges came easier. Cindy was amazing at looking at colleges and helping her narrow down the schools that best fit her. She empowered my daughter to take ownership in her essays, the process which in return helped her do all of this with very little anxiety. She has now applied to every college early and (as of late September) has already been accepted to some. We couldn't be happier knowing the majority of my daughter's senior year won't be filled with anxiety and stress. Instead she feels empowered and now helps her friends. I will soon have Cindy working with my freshman son so that he too can have a less stressful college process! As my daughter put it, "Mom, Mrs. Cindy Turner is the best money you ever spent." - parent, Class of 2019 |
"Cindy provided wonderful advice to all three of my children in their journey to college acceptance. Each plan was unique to adapt to the different needs of each child. Initially she helped educate my first child and my husband and I on what to expect in the process, how to visit colleges, and how to let your child lead this journey. With my other children she helped set up SAT tutoring, college major planning, identifying their strengths and weaknesses, college selection and more. I cannot tell you how invaluable her steady, excellent advice helped my children to not only understand the process but to accept the importance of their role in helping guide their future. They are all successful college graduates now, and Cindy believed in them from the beginning! It is so important to have expert advice in the college process today and Cindy is the best in the area!

"Cindy provided our family with a “buffer." She allowed our children to have honest conversations about college without the emotion of leaving home interfering. She helped our children find the best educational fit for them but also the best community. Having an expert proofread college entrance essays and keep our children ahead of those last minute deadlines was invaluable!" parent of twins, Class of 2012
"Cindy helped both my daughters navigate their college applications by making a complex process very straightforward and organized. She has an excellent knowledge of the colleges and universities throughout the United States and internationally. Cindy took the time to learn and understand my daughters’ personalities and learning styles so that she could assist them in finding the best school to fit their social and collegiate goals. She was always pleasant, professional and approachable. She was a great advocate for my daughters and was always encouraging and optimistic. She met regularly with my daughters and periodically myself to make sure they were on track with their academic classes, extracurricular activities and summer programs so that they would be well prepared to apply to their colleges of choice. She recommended appropriate standardized tests for both my daughters based on their learning styles and assisted them in arranging standardized testing prep. During the senior fall application time she met with my daughters weekly to keep them on track with their applications and regularly reviewed their essays suggesting content and grammatical changes if needed. She turned a potential chaotic process into a very manageable experience. Hiring Cindy was the best decision we made as a family and a decision that I know you will be glad you made as well!
