College Admissions
Consulting Services
Being accepted into a top college comes down to how you market yourself as an applicant. There are plenty of students with perfect test scores and grades, so in order to be accepted by a top university what an applicant needs is to stand out from this enormous and highly qualified crowd. All of our admission consultants are Former College Admissions Officers and they work with our college applicants to craft Strategic Positioning Narratives and personal statements that best address their unique backgrounds, interests, and how they will contribute to the college to which they apply.
Our admission consultants advise on how to best position the college application so as to match it with what each college desires to see in its students. Most importantly, our admission consultants ensure that student essays, teacher recommendation letters, activity sheets, addendums, and interviews all support this positioning strategy.

Solomon Admissions Consulting Reviews
No Ivy League without Solomon
We had an outstanding experience with Solomon and our consultant, Eliana. She was super responsive to our needs and pushed my son to do better on his essays until it told a unique and complete story about him and his intellectual vitality. He couldn't have gotten accepted into an Ivy League school without Eliana and Solomon.
John Enyart is a 6-star advisor
Our advisor, John Enyart, is incredibly caring, responsive, and inspiring. We feel very fortunate to have him guiding our son's admissions journey to Princeton, Yale, MIT, Stanford, and 15 other exceptional schools. He ended up with Stanford. Thank you, John, and thank you, Solomon.
Delphine Byrd helped my Harvard dream come true
I am so grateful to Delphine Byrd for working with me tirelessly to curate my strategy and background for my Harvard Law School Junior Deferral application process. She was AMAZING and … I got in! I really couldn’t have put my best foot forward without her help and straight shooting. She is wonderful and I highly recommend. Thank you Delphine, you made my dream come true!
Excellent Resource

Excellent experience, got me into one of my top schools
They did an excellent job of giving me advice on strategic positioning to greatly increase my odds of being accepted to top universities.

Dr. Turner made a difference.
Dr. Turner was incredible in every sense of the word. She was a trusted advisor who helped us navigate the complexity of the admission process. We loved working with Dr. Turner and Solomon and I am very proud that my daughter got into so many prestigious schools — including her number one choice - USC. Highly recommend.
