College Planning for Madison Area Students

We wanted to get this right from the start. It’s too big of a decision to go into it halfway. It’s a small price to pay for the comfort of knowing that in the end, you made the right choice.

Our daughter worked with Tom on her applications and essays the summer before her senior year of high school. Having someone who has experience with this process is a lifesaver. College applications and essays have changed drastically since my husband and I went to college. Tom knows his stuff and he knows what your student should focus on. He and my daughter created a timeline that worked for both of them. Deadlines were set and our daughter made sure her assignments were turned in on time. And to have this process all sealed up prior to starting a busy senior year is a dream. Invest your time with Tom, I promise he is 100% worth it. Our daughter was accepted in 8/8 colleges, even her dream college!
