I researched so many other career counselors and I found her on Yelp. I even referred her to many different family and friends and she went above and beyond to help them as well.

When I found Julia, I was in complete despair. College application deadlines were around the…read morecorner, and my daughter hadn't even started the process. All of her UC prompts were just ideas at that point. Our first meeting with Julia was a long conversation, during which she helped extract a full list of extracurricular activities and developed ideas for the essays, personal statement, and Common App essay. Over the following weeks, I watched each essay come together and be finalized one by one. She created a list of schools and a structured calendar that kept my daughter on track. I'm happy to say this was the best investment we could have made. My daughter was accepted to UC Berkeley and several other colleges. The peace of mind I had knowing Julia was managing the college application process was priceless. She is knowledgeable and competent, and she brings so much compassion to her work. There were many times when I felt overwhelmed, and she was always able to calm me down. I only have one regret--not using her services for my oldest son during his college application journey. I am confident that Julia will continue to be a valuable part of my children's educational journeys, whether it's navigating college course enrollment, updating resumes and LinkedIn profiles, or applying to graduate school.

They have created a system that truly helps the student organize his/her/their thoughts and ideas in order to put their best foot forward and create a college application that represents who the student is and what their achievements are. Both my children worked with College Zoom. My son is a very typical young man who had a hard time getting started with his applications, and College Zoom did an excellent job supporting him every step of the way. My daughter, on the other hand, was very motivated and College Zoom worked well with her enthusiasm and organization. I am happy to report that both kids got into their DREAM schools (USC and UC Berkeley) with College Zoom's help.

What impressed me most about Liz is how she partnered so closely with my son on every step of the college admissions process, teaching him how to be responsible for his work, while shielding us parents from the day-to-day stress of it all. With Liz's guidance, my son learned to take ownership of his college admissions journey, from the early research phase, where she helped him figure out what he wanted out of his college experience, to drafting smart, authentic essays that showcased the best parts of his personality. She also created a killer SAT prep strategy for my son, which involved selecting the right tutor for him and steering him toward taking the test early in 11th grade, which was incredibly effective. She made sure he prepared ALL of his materials well in advance, so there was no scrambling. Best of all, Liz built a great relationship with my son over weekly zoom meetings, and was deeply invested in his progress every step of the way. My son trusted Liz's guidance and judgement completely, and we quickly learned that she understands this process like no one else. Working with Liz was an excellent experience and I can't recommend her highly enough!

From the first day they worked together during her Junior Spring semester, all through Summer and Senior Fall semester, my daughter felt supported, informed, and on top of the whole college process. There was open communication between all of us and Genevieve was able to keep us all on schedule with the application process. My daughter felt empowered and confident and was able to turn in all her applications early so that she was able to relax and enjoy her Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks. I can't say enough about how professional, organized, thorough and knowledgeable Genevieve is about the ever-changing college application process. We are very grateful to her for her guidance and expertise. My daughter enjoyed working with her and we. as parents, appreciated having the pressure taken off of us. If you are looking for a professional college counselor, Genevieve is the Best!!!

Once my son decided what he really wanted to pursue, she helped him back into choosing the best colleges within various universities, keeping location, size, campus vibe, cost and other variables in mind. As parents, it was wonderful to have a positive and knowledgable outside influence take the reins in aspects of the process that we didn't know much about. She kept him accountable and on track, while always being upbeat and a pleasure to work with. He submitted all his applications early and was confident that he'd done his best work.
