The most meaningful aspect of Alma Mater’s guidance over this journey was not only the academic support, but above all the emotional support. They were like a trusted shoulder to lean on. Many times, beyond helping me improve my personal statement and responses for different universities, which gave me a competitive advantage, they helped me balance the stress of starting a new chapter in my life with the anxiety of final exams. At times our sessions focused on discussing my concerns; at others, we concentrated on completing each stage of the application in the most efficient and thoughtful way possible: a perfect balance between reassurance and productivity.
I study at Stanford University in California, double-majoring in Communications and Psychology, with a minor in Neuroscience. Throughout my entire application process, Alma Mater was undoubtedly the most essential part of my journey. I believe that, without them, I would not have had the direction I needed for my essays, and the insights on what admissions officers are looking for, which served as a guiding star along the way. When it came to standardized tests like the SAT and ACT, they helped me make informed decisions that would best fit my needs. I ultimately chose the SAT, and they helped me understand what to expect from this exam and how to prepare for it effectively.
From the start, Alma Mater brought me a sense of reassurance and confidence in my journey. Their guidance was invaluable, especially since we encountered many parallel tasks and responsibilities at the start of the process. The consistency of our meetings was amazing. AM offered so many meeting opportunities during the application process. I would say that during the final months of the process, while writing essays and reviewing individual application contents, AM’s consulting made the biggest difference for me.
Alma Mater was fundamental in clarifying all of the doubts we initially had about how to select the best universities for each of our daughters. The team is made up of vibrant, focused, and efficient professionals who helped us immensely, not just by providing excellent guidance on the applications, but also by bringing optimism and discipline in equal measure to the agitated life of a student. I am profoundly grateful! My daughters were admitted to their dream schools.
Thank you once again for all the support and guidance that helped our older daughter achieve such a high SAT score. We are incredibly grateful for your hard work and dedication. She is very happy at university and continues to achieve excellent academic results. We are certain that this is also a reflection of the strong foundation built through our partnership with you. We’d be delighted to continue this partnership now with our younger daughter.
A few weeks ago, we met a couple of friends who are going through the same college application process with their son. I shared our experience working with Alma Mater. Although my first child worked with a different consultancy, I felt that the support and care Alma Mater provided to my second daughter was far more thoughtful and personalized. I had the clear impression that you truly knew her well, her strengths, areas for growth, and what made her unique. I was especially impressed by your involvement throughout every stage of the process. Overall, I felt the entire journey was exceptionally well managed. I sincerely told them that if I had to choose again, I would have no hesitation in choosing them. It’s the kind of recommendation that comes straight from the heart.
I knew I wanted to work with Alma Mater from the moment I decided to pursue my studies in the United States. I wanted to maximize my chances of being accepted to my dream university, and I knew Alma Mater was the best consulting team to help me turn that goal into reality. From day one, you supported me every step of the way. You helped me stay on top of deadlines, guided me through the essay-writing process, and, most importantly, helped me build a college list that truly matched what I was looking for, both academically and socially. Together, we identified universities where I could grow not only as a student and future professional, but also as a person. I owe so much of my success to Alma Mater.
Alma Mater was my greatest ally during the busiest and most demanding year of my life! I was in my final semester of university, working on my thesis while also holding down a job, and my consultant was always there to make things happen. IE University had always been my first choice, but Alma Mater also helped me discover a range of other universities that aligned with my profile, interests, and future goals. I was accepted into my top-choice university, but I am confident that any of the other options would have been wonderful as well. They helped me strengthen my essays, improve my résumé, and better understand what I needed to do to become a strong candidate for each university. I recommend Alma Mater wholeheartedly to anyone who asks, and I have nothing but appreciation and gratitude for the entire team.
When we first reached out to Alma Mater, we did not fully know what the process would involve or what kind of support to expect. From the very beginning, Alma Mater built a strong connection with my daughter, providing guidance, developing her skills, exploring her individual strengths, and helping her build an outstanding profile over time. Over two years, this became a solid and meaningful journey. The result? Far beyond anything I had hoped for. She was accepted to every university she applied to. I am deeply grateful for this successful partnership. Alma Mater was exceptional! I will always recommend your team to friends because I have complete trust in the serious, knowledgeable, and dedicated work that you do.
