They helped us formulate her class choices in high school to help position her best for college. The college application process has become so daunting and difficult, We couldn't have imagined doing without their help.

Our daughter's high school years were fairly tumultuous--changes in schools, classes, health…read morechallenges, and other obstacles had us confused about how it would all play out for her in terms of college readiness, completing applications, and likelihood of college acceptance. Corin was patient, understanding, and knowledgeable in guiding our daughter throughout the process of researching best fit colleges and with determining how best to use short answers and essays to explain her unique transcript and journey through some pretty tough high school years. When we started the process the very beginning of her junior year, we just wanted our daughter to know she had options. We knew all the challenges she faced might mean a gap year or junior college would be best in the long run, but we wanted to ensure she had options--and Future Stars helped her see she does in fact have excellent options! She was accepted at all 6 colleges and universities she applied to and was even offered merit scholarships at two of them. She will be attending her number one choice university in the fall. We are thrilled our son is also being guided by Corin through the college research and application process and look forward to continued work with Future Stars over the next couple of years.

I honestly cannot begin to describe the impact Dr. Blum had during the medical school application…read moreprocess. He worked with me every week to ensure I meet the many deadlines that come with applying to medical school and spending copious amounts of time reviewing my personal statement as well as many secondary essays. Beyond that, his positive demeanor and constant encouragement helped frame my mindset for the daunting process of applying to medical school. He also checked in on me and gave me advice prior to my MCAT and interviews. I truly could not have done this process without Dr. Blum and highly recommend everyone reach out to him for help with applications.

All four of my daughters attend Middle Tree, and each of them has received exceptional support.

I started counseling with Raj in 2009 when I was a freshman in high school, and I can strongly say…read morethat the advice and counseling I received from Raj is unbeatable. Raj not only helped me academically with planning classes and staying ahead of my peers, but he also helped me socially and professionally. We practiced public speaking, networking, building confidence and much more. After graduating high school, I felt prepared to start college and use the tools Raj gave me to excel. While in college, Raj and I worked on career planning/development and continuing to build my network. Without Raj in my corner, I do not think I would have engaged myself in nearly half of the extracurricular work I did. I decided I wanted to pursue a career in the legal field, and Raj taught me how to effectively communicate with attorneys in my area, which in turn landed me an internship at a law firm. That internship eventually turned into a paid position and provided me with excellent connections and resources. Currently, I am starting my first year of law school on a full ride scholarship, and I give much thanks to Raj for giving me the tools to reach this stage. It's been nearly a decade that I've received counseling from Raj and I can proudly say that his knowledge and expertise is truly unmatched. He is my biggest mentor and his passion for helping others find their way in life is admirable. You will not go wrong with any of his services!

This was one of the best decisions and investments we could have made. Joe had the entire process laid out and would send video summaries of meetings highlighting what they covered and what was next. The end result was our daughter applied to 15 schools, was accepted to 12, recieved 3 scholarships and ended up getting accepted to her TOP CHOICE Indiana University. What was better than the end result was witnessing the transformation of our daughter. Her grades shot up and stayed up and her school options continued to evolve. She ended up taking complete ownership of the process(with Joe's coaching). There were no surprises: her essays and tests were done, her applications were early and her acceptances were early. Thank you Joe. Highly recommend.
