I wanted to take a necessary few minutes to thank Erin for all of the help she and Going Ivy provided along this long and arduous journey. I recently went back to school to become a speech therapist after teaching for 9 years and needed help navigating the admissions process. Erin was there to offer that necessary assistance to perfect my personal statement and résumé for the graduate program. It was incredible how she was able to take exactly what I wanted to say, but convey it in a way that was so powerful. A lot can be praised for her communication as well. She knew I was on a strict deadline, and worked seamlessly with my schedule. Every time I sent Erin a draft, I knew I could expect her edits and suggestions within a few hours if not sooner. Though I didn't utilize it, she offered to meet me locally at any time that was convenient to me (even during the weekend). You are truly a lifesaver, Erin, and I can't thank you enough for helping me get admitted to a Top 20 graduate program. I also appreciated the help Ron provided through the tutoring service. I had previously taken the GRE and scored lower on the math portion than what I knew was going to need to get admitted. After working with him for 4 sessions, Ron helped me improve my math scores and reach my goal for my score! Again, Erin, thank you so much for lending your services to me. I can truly attribute Going Ivy as a major reason why I was considered and admitted to my dream school! read more

When my 'budding' Ivy Leagers reach the stressful stage of life known as... college application time, without a doubt, I will be seeking guidance from Erin. She is a caring Mama of two herself, extremely intelligent, timely, organized and an all-around stellar woman that future college attendees would be fortunate to work with. My background in recruiting and consulting helps me to realize the value of this form of application assistance as well as having gone through the stressful admittance process (albeit many years ago!) myself - to have your child in the capable and successful hands of Erin would be an invaluable step in the direction of getting into the college of their dreams and a foot in the door to the life that would surely follow. Life is so busy during Senior year, with High School come to a close, all the extracurricular activities that fill a Senior's calendar as well as finding down time and still that which is most important of all, family time... so having someone to guide and aid in this crucial school process is a no-brainer and one that will alleviate stress from both the college applicant and their (even-busier!) parents. I feel grateful to have someone like Erin as a friend and, one day, guide. read more

Erin and her team helped to guide my daughter every step of the way in the college admissions process -- and I can't recommend her highly enough! The college planning process can indeed be stressful, and at times, well-meaning "Uber Dads" like myself can put even more stress on their kids. Along with being a talented writer and knowing the college admissions process inside and out, Erin also possesses a gentle grace and my daughter truly responded to her astute advice and counseling. I'm happy to report that my daughter will be attending Marist College in the fall, and I know that you and your child will also be in excellent hands with Erin and her team. read more

Going Ivy helped me edit my personal statement for medical school and I could not be happier with the result. I spent weeks tweaking and editing on my own but my drafts felt lackluster and clunky. After working with Erin (she is amazing) my personal statement is elegant, impassioned, and truly reflects who I am. In a short period of time I went from mundane to remarkable, all while boosting my confidence and staying true to the message I wanted to convey. I highly recommend Going Ivy to anyone looking to get an edge on the competition! read more

I hired Going Ivy to help my son to prepare for his ACT. He has high-functioning autism and struggles with reading comprehension, so he was naturally very concerned about his reading and English scores. In a month and one-half, his tutor has helped him to raise his reading score by 8 points and his English score by 10 points. His tutor has helped to increase his confidence and has taught him some invaluable strategies. I can't recommend Going Ivy enough. read more
