I am really glad my son had Dr. Haig as a college consultant. The admissions process has changed a lot since my husband and I were in college. We wanted to have an expert guide my son through the process to make sure we gave him the best chance of success. From the beginning, Dr. Haig was professional, friendly, and very helpful. We began with our high school counselors, but we found quickly that the advice they gave was generic and not personal to our son's situation. Dr. Haig put together a strategic and well-developed plan that helped my son reach his full potential in the college admissions process. Dr. Haig helped at each stage from developing a game plan, identifying strengths and weaknesses in my son's profile, moving him through the college planning journey as effectively as possible, and positioning him to be the best candidate possible. The results were outstanding. Not only did our son get into his top choice colleges, but he earned hundreds of thousands of dollars. We are very grateful to have had Dr. Haig on our team through this important stage of our son's life. We cannot recommend Dr. Haig enough. He is extremely valuable and definitely needed to get the best results. Any family can really benefit from Dr. Haig's expertise and passion. Thank you for everything Dr. Haig! We look forward to telling our friends and family about the great work you do. read more

Jeff is a superb counselor and a great planner. He did several great things for our son. First of all he helped him find his goals by filtering through the huge set of universities and colleges, opened his eyes to those choices that are worthy and within reach (both in terms of academic level and financial requirements). Later on, we found out the significance of this, when our son got admission from all but one of the universities in his list, with optimized time and effort which came from not applying to many more. After setting the focus on a limited number of viable choices, Jeff started to prepare our son for tackling the requirements proportional to the target set. Jeff motivated him to take and handle more AP units and do whatever else needed to appeal in the eye of his goal universities. Without Jeff pushing and motivating, I doubt my son could make it this strong in a rather short interval. Last but not least Jeff finalized the process by reading and discussing essays and giving advice on how to develop resumes for getting admission. Jeff has great experience in the end to end process of preparation, application and admission and does the job in a well organized, step by step manner which worked beautifully for us. We highly recommend Jeff and thank him for all his efforts. read more
