Brooke Libby was absolutely wonderful in helping my son through the transfer college application process. She provided thoughtful guidance on everything from essays to positioning his strengths, experiences, and unique story in a compelling way. She was always available, kept regular meetings and timelines on track, and made sure my son stayed organized and confident throughout the process. Thanks in large part to Brooke’s support and expertise, he had tremendous success and was admitted to top universities — I highly recommend her and College Goals.

Brian helped me edit and articulate who I really am in the common app and then broke down each supplemental prompt to make them tangible and help focus my ideas of topics to write about. What I appreciated most is that Brian never sought to have me say what a school might want to hear but instead helped express who I am. He did not change my voice or thoughts so that my personality came through but helped me guide the focus and direction of each essay to tell a complete and succinct story that was unique.

I didn’t want to call you but I wanted to let you know that I got accepted to Harvard Early Action. I truly couldn’t have done it without you. You gave me such focus and helped me understand how to present myself best. I’m a little bit dazed right now, but I just want to express my absolute gratitude for you and your work.

Thank you so much for everything you’ve done to help me with the college application process. I came in knowing almost nothing about it, and you helped me learn so much and always encouraged me to pursue and explore anything I had interest in.

Thank you very much for all your help. In our son’s words, you are caring, insightful, straightforward, and patient. He really enjoyed working with you.

You set him up to have a successful college application process by making sure he was thoughtful in his approach to picking colleges that fit him, and saw to every detail. The fact that he was accepted is just the culmination of all the hard work you inspired him to complete - thoroughly and thoughtfully. Thank you for being his sounding board, his guide and his inspiration throughout the entire college application process.

I think it is worth sharing that EVERY time my wife and I conclude our meetings with you, we both look at each other and smile. There is a sense of calm and confidence that you have that makes us feel that things are going to work out and be fine. And that means a lot.

When our family began considering boarding school, it was completely new territory for us. In a short period of time, you got to know our daughter well and deftly helped us sort through it all. Thanks to you, our daughter is now thriving in the perfect environment for her and we couldn't be more grateful.

You quickly connected with our son in a way that any kid would consider “cool.” That single, first conversation set the entire tone for our son’s approach to boarding school. Your ability to understand his issues, feelings and hopes was what made your recommendations so meaningful. Boarding school has changed the trajectory of our son’s life.
