Client Testimonials

---

Jacki is very knowledgeable on the many aspects of college applications. She helped me stay on track and organized, which helped me get all of my applications in before the deadlines! I would strongly recommend her services to upcoming seniors that need someone to answer any questions that you may have about your applications. 

Jacki made the college application cycle easy to understand, and was always available for any questions about the process! She was reliable, knowledgeable about pretty much every topic (scholarships, essays, supplementals), and always had a smile on her face!

We were referred to Jacki by a friend, after our first visit with her we knew she would be an enormous asset to our daughter and to us.  The college selection, application, research process is a daunting one, but teaming Jacki up with my daughter Maria made the process an easy and enjoyable one.  She simplified the process, spent time with her going over timelines, proofreading her essays, designing her resume and always being available to her via phone call or text when Maria had questions or just felt nervous about things.  As a parent it took out all the stress of the parent/daughter relationship that would have happened without her in the process.  Anyone whose child is embarking on the college selection part of their lives, I would recommend Jacki whole heartedly to be a part of your child’s team.

As someone who was very nervous about the college application process, I can confidently say that Jacki completely took the stress off my shoulders. She was always a text away when I had an application question, or needed an essay to be revised. The amount of tasks the college application process entails was definitely more than I was expecting, but Jacki was able to help me manage these tasks, and somehow get my applications submitted far before the deadlines. I would highly recommend Jacki to any student who finds themselves overwhelmed with the college process as a busy junior or senior. I'm so ecstatic to attend the University of Georgia in the fall, thanks to Jacki's help! 

As a first time college bound family, we cannot emphasize how invaluable Jacki Van Wagner has been for all us. She was informative from the outset, sharing perspective from years of experience that helped ground and establish a practical POV toward the college application process. Jacki worked directly with our daughter from mid-junior year through each submitted application her senior year. She helped her find a comfortable direction, counseling and providing straightforward and constructive feedback along the way. There's no question Jacki instilled a level of confidence in our daughter during what otherwise may have been an overwhelming and stressful time. It's an absolute certainty she gave us, as parents, a peace of mind we wouldn't have had without her. 

 My time spent working with Jacki this admission season was immensely helpful and insightful. Her assistance truly goes beyond just applying to college. I remember months ago brainstorming ideas together for my personal statement - and now, even after my commitment, she is still by my side as I apply for scholarships. I have gained an excellent mentor and friend, and I can not recommend her enough! 

 Mrs. Van Wagner was a huge help in my college application process as she endlessly devoted her time and energy to making sure I had everything I needed to be where I wanted to be. With her help I was able to get into all of my safety, target, and even reach schools. I wouldn’t have wanted to go through this process with anyone else, and I don’t think I’d be as happy as I am now without Mrs. Van Wagner.
