“These schools can be $50,000, $75,000 or $90,000 a year. In the end, this is a half-million dollar investment. To invest as a percentage of that [in Quad Education] is a small investment. Think about when you make big investments—you get advisors and coaches to make the right choice so that you have the right fit.”

“[My counselor and I] would talk about what the goals were for each coming week and talk about if I had questions about an idea I’d had for an essay that I wanted to bounce off another person…I feel like the most valuable aspect was essay writing—ironing out a direction.” 

“Exceeded my expectations because of how flexible [my counselor] was with meeting times, which were getting shifted around constantly because of my busy schedule, and with the consistency and regularity of their feedback on my essays…The constant communication I was able to have with my counselor was really helpful.” 

“You essentially get what is the best of all worlds—you get that conventional wisdom that is then applied to your own personal applications across the board, and you have such a large support system. It really is unique in the college admissions space.”  

“What made Quad stand out was how involved the counselors were with the process and I feel [they] really get to know you… to help you and see where your strengths are.” 

"Honestly, I don’t feel like I wrote anything that [my counselor] helped me edit that I’m not really proud of. His insight was very, very helpful. It clearly paid off—I got into Rice because of it!"

“I needed guidance and so that’s why I reached out to look for certain companies and I found that [Quad Education] was the most straightforward one, and that’s why I decided to work with them.”

They really do know how to get to the finish line of completing the applications and making sure they’re submitted properly and in full, and the strongest applications they can with essays and requirements. If you trust in the process and really follow their guidelines and advice, you’ll do quite well.

“When I looked at Quad, I was very happy to see that they had the numbers and they had the people and the resources – it was beneficial to me and very straightforward, unlike some other services I was looking at at the time. I’m really happy that I ended up picking Quad.”

“I felt Quad Education was the best program for me to work with to help me advance.”

“Getting those nuanced understandings of what universities are looking for was something very important, and I managed to get them through the counselor that I worked with.”

“Quad definitely stood out to me because it felt like there was a relationship between the counselor and the student. It didn’t feel so formal, and it made me feel more comfortable opening up to an admissions counselor.”

“Working with Quad was a great example of utilizing a process, having the coaching that can support the process, and it really is an interesting and unique experience to work with such skilled coaches. You learn so much more than just applying for college.”

“Our experience with our first child who did not work with Quad Education compared to our second child was really night and day. The process for my daughter with the support of Quad Education was really individualized, allowed me to step back, know that she was in excellent hands, and know that she was more likely to have success and achieve her goals.”

“Not only did we get accepted to one of our top three schools, but the admission also came with a $25,000 annual scholarship. So in terms of return on investment, it will be an investment that yields 40% to 60% in returns in the long-run for me as a parent.”
