Accepted Students

I am delighted to recommend Dana Morello, who was an invaluable guide throughout my daughter Adriana’s college application journey. From our first meeting to the final submissions, Dana brought unmatched expertise, professionalism, and dedication. She took the time to understand Adriana’s academic strengths, extracurricular activities, and aspirations, helping her recognize and present them with confidence. Dana offered thoughtful advice on selecting schools, refining essays, and choosing meaningful summer coursework and activities that strengthened her overall application.

Dana’s personalized approach and constant support made an overwhelming process manageable and even inspiring. Her encouragement and strategic guidance not only helped Adriana submit polished and authentic applications but also led to multiple acceptances and merit-based scholarship offers. I wholeheartedly recommend Dana to any student or parent seeking knowledgeable, compassionate, and results-driven college application support.

When I was going through the stressful and overwhelming college application process, one of the only people who provided me with quality support and truly helpful guidance was Dana Morello. She is extremely professional, organized, and willing to go above and beyond. In addition to this, she is incredibly knowledgeable and resourceful.

When I, who applied during a test-optional year, was unsure whether or not I should’ve sent my scores to one of the more competitive universities I was applying to, Dana provided assistance more valuable than that of the guidance counselor at my high school. She replied with statistics, interpretations, and advice within minutes of my reaching out. She provided vital information in a clear and understandable way, which made navigating this intense process easier and more tolerable. I ended up getting into a program with a less than 1% acceptance rate at a school with programs that matched my needs.

She has two children currently in college as well, who are extremely successful and were guided by her throughout the entire process. Dana Morello is dedicated and extremely capable. She is the first person I’d recommend to anyone seeking assistance regarding academic coaching or the college admissions process.

I’m thrilled to recommend Dana Morello who provided exceptional guidance during my transfer process. Her expertise in evaluating transcripts and identifying the best-fit colleges was invaluable. Dana not only helped me choose a college that aligns perfectly with my academic and career goals but also skillfully negotiated transfer credits, ensuring a smooth transition. Her personalized approach and deep knowledge of the transfer process made all the difference. I wholeheartedly endorse Dana for anyone navigating a college transfer.

I can honestly say the college application process was extremely stressful for my family. We didn’t know where to start.  Dana made it so clear and straightforward. Broke it down and laid out a plan. Dana is really easy to talk to and makes you feel very comfortable. I attribute her warmth and patience  to making this process something my son actually looked forward to doing. She will absolutely be getting a call when our daughter is ready! We can’t thank her enough.

I highly recommend Dana for her outstanding support in helping my daughter, Katie, with her college essay and overall college planning. Dana was incredibly personable, nonjudgmental, and thorough throughout the entire process. She provided invaluable pointers on Katie’s essay, ensuring it reflected her true voice and strengths.

Beyond essay assistance, Dana guided us in selecting the college that would best fit Katie’s goals and aspirations. Her deep knowledge of the college admissions process, combined with her ability to provide detailed and thoughtful advice, made all the difference. She also shared helpful scholarship information, which was an added bonus.

Dana’s professionalism and approachable demeanor put both Katie and I at ease. I was so impressed with her services that I plan to use her expertise again for my other daughter and will gladly recommend her to friends and their families. Working with Dana was truly a worthwhile and rewarding experience!

After much worry and concern on how to best help our daughter construct her college essay, we were relieved to have found such a great resource in Dana. Her guidance and wealth of experience as a public school teacher helped put our daughter at ease and made an otherwise stressful experience as smooth and painless as possible. Always ready with an answer and easy to reach, we can’t thank Dana enough for her professionalism and personal touch.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Dana’s support that she provided me while writing my college essay. She helped me craft my essay providing personalized support. She took the time to understand “my story” and helped me present it in a way that is authentic, compelling and memorable. Thanks to her encouragement I felt confident when I submitted my essay.
