Working with Rona and Katie at Oriel Admissions was a genuinely positive experience for our family…read more From the earliest conversations, they took the time to understand our son as a student and as a person, which shaped every piece of guidance that followed. One of the things we valued most was the hands-on support with his writing. Rona and Katie worked with him in live sessions on his essays, helping him find his voice and shape his ideas into something authentic and compelling. That kind of in-the-moment coaching as well as the written feedback that he received was extremely meaningful and it pushed him to produce his strongest work. Beyond the writing, Rona and Katie suggested colleges that aligned with his interests and goals, helped him tell a clear story through his activities, and brought out his strengths and unique qualities in his writing. Their guidance was always rooted in what was right for him specifically, and that made all the difference in how his applications came together. In the end, he was accepted to the University of Miami, his top choice college, and we couldn't be happier.

My child began working with Oriel Admissions in the second half of her freshman year of high…read moreschool. While the most intense part of the counseling happened during the later part of her junior year and into the beginning of her senior year, Rona and her team provided thoughtful, structured guidance throughout the entire process. They advised my child on how to best use her time for each of her summer breaks for different purposes, from exploring what interested her during freshman summer to participating in research program following her junior year which greatly strengthened her application. My child worked with a career counselor of the team to explore career interests. Rona and other members of her team advised my child on course selections for each academic year, formulation of different essay topics, and later the intense process of essay development during which Rona and a writing coach provided multiple rounds of edits for my child. The team was knowledgeable about the college admissions landscape. They helped our child stay on track and build her confidence and independence during what could have been a stressful process. What stood out most was how they focused on my child as a unique individual and guided her accordingly. Oriel Admissions helped my child present her authentic self in the strongest possible way and we believe their guidance played a pivotal role in my child's successful early decision admission into Smith College. We are grateful for their guidance and would highly recommend them to any family navigating the college admissions journey.

After applying for a refund, they said my son missed a single homework assignment over a 12 week course and therefore I don't qualify for a refund. They did however offer the course free of charge again which is laughable. How can he qualify for one but not the other? Scammers. Don't pay for this service.

At the moment it seems that the entrance essay is considered more illustrative of academic potential provided your stated goal is equity, justice and world peace. No, your child will not be consigned to a life of seasonal carnival work if you don't fork over thousands for their test prep assistance - with the labor shortage they may actually get a shot at freak show barker right off the bat. Nowadays, most of what The Review does is freely available on the internet or contained in innumerable volumes at your local bookseller. They do however, package their materials nicely in both hard and digital formats. If you prefer to wear both a belt and suspenders when helping your progeny secure a choice college berth TPR may help... at a price. Three stars for convenience.

Our caregiver Damia was absolutely the best and gave me piece of mind that my son was safe and happy when I had to be at my busy job where I am a manager. Damia not only text me updates and pictures, let me talk to my son, but she went above and beyond the job. She did my laundry and folded it. She swept my house, hand washed my dishes, and even made my bed when I didn't have time to make it this morning. On-Call Concierge service has top nanny's and caregivers. I highly recommend them. Unlike many other services I looked into On-Call Concierge also didn't charge me a finders fee, but instead a flat rate membership fee that included a guarantee of my scheduled caregivers. The caregivers are interviewed twice by Ridwana, go through an extensive interview process, and a thorough background check. After being on Care.com for months and not being able to find a quality person I could trust with my son I finally feel good about leaving my son at home when I need to. :) Thank you Damia and Ridwana for being so awesome! I look forward to working with other caregivers too (Since I am using their services mostly on-call I get a pool of 3-4 nanny's that will rotate).
