Ralph Ellis came highly recommended to us by a friend. As parents we felt lost in the college search process. We weren’t even sure where to begin. In addition to that our son did not know what area he wanted to study or what type of college he wanted to attend. The entire process was something we were all dreading.
We set up our first appointment with Ralph during our son’s junior year. In a very short amount of time Ralph had our son complete his interest inventory, created a list of potential colleges for our son to look at, helped him choose a topic for his essays as well as helped fine tune them, helped him make phone calls to admissions offices and head of departments to get questions answered, connected him to a one on one tutor for SAT and ACT prep, worked with him on interview techniques and much, much more. All of this was accomplished stress free.
Our son did not argue with us about what had to be done one time. He really enjoyed working with Ralph and when Ralph told him something needed to be done by a certain date it was completed. All of the work that Ralph did with our son not only helped him gain acceptance into every college he applied to, but also helped him improve his test scores, improve his essay writing ability, and interview techniques, but most importantly it helped him gain the confidence and independence he will need not only in college but in life.
We just returned from college orientation and after 2 days on campus we all agreed that it is the right fit for our son. He can’t wait to get started on his college career. We can now highly recommend Ralph to our friends and are looking forward to working with him again very soon as our youngest son begins the college search process. Thanks Ralph for all of your hard work and care. It is obvious by your excitement and dedication how much you enjoy what you do.
