"As the parents of three teenage boys, finding the right fit for college and submitting a competitive application seemed a daunting task three years ago. We have learned the nuts and bolts of SAT's, essays, applications, teacher recommendations and college tours in delivering our two eldest sons to the college of their choice and ESM's contribution to this process was invaluable. The expertise and first-hand knowledge of colleges and universities across the nation coupled with ESM's experience in creating a competitive, high quality application helped our sons prepare for the difficult task of choosing their own educational path. ESM understands that successfully choosing a college cannot be a "one size fits all" nor a status search from someone else's "top ten" list. Taking time to fully comprehend the aspirations, interests, concerns, limitations and potential of each student, ESM enables their students to create options for themselves whereby the selection and application process becomes their own. While both parents and their teenagers share the same goal to realize an optimal future, this can be an exciting and difficult period as each experiences the pressure and uncertainty in making tough choices. As a professional consultant, ESM's most outstanding contribution comes from their ability to encourage and advise the prospective college candidate, while reassuring concerned and often nervous parents. Having successfully ushered thousands of parents and young adults through this process, ESM's unique perspective offers a sense of calm and confidence in the midst of potentially stormy times. We look forward to having ESM’s professionalism, expertise, and cross-generation relational skills on board as we make the final journey with our youngest son." Bruce & Cynthia Haas |
