23-24 Applicant, back in touch 2-yrs later
After I submitted my college application, I forgot to greatly tell you how much of a blessing you were during the season of my college application. You were a tremendous help with everything, and a saint for helping with me with so much when no one was also able too. Genuinely, you were one of the biggest blessing ever! Thank you so much again!! All in short, I got accepted into UC xxxx and waitlisted to Cornell. I ended up going to The University Of state school, and currently in my sophomore year right now!
J.J., 25-26 applicant
Susan's guidance and expertise on the college application process were amazing!!! Her feedback on my supplemental and personal statement was phenomenal! I applied to schools like Cornell and Stanford, and I think I have a chance with her edits! Thank you so much, Susan!
E.S., 25-26 applicant
Ms. Susan was truly the sweetest person throughout the week we spent together. Although our time was short and we were on a crunch, she put in all her efforts and time to help me finalize my essays. She genuinely understands all the prompts and what needs to be written. She responded very quickly and was constantly working on my essays. She has strong points she’s looking for and knows exactly how to get them out in your writing. I wholeheartedly recommend her for everyone and I am incredibly grateful to have met her!!
T.A., 25-26 applicant parent
I want to thank you again for the recommendation for getting E involved in the … societies that you mentioned over a year ago because it’s made such a difference, giving him a chance to see what … do. Thanks again for all your help.
Last night, E got notified that he was accepted at …, ..., and ... That makes seven acceptance and no denials yet. I can’t thank you enough for the help. He wouldn’t have been here without your help on this application and essay.
V., UC-San Diego
Truly a lifesaver during application season! I could not be more grateful for all of her help. She provided insight on not only my essays, which she helped to revise greatly, but also suggestions on paths to take at college from her own experience as a parent. She truly cares - even after my essays were submitted, she still followed up to ask for updates. I do not know what I would have done without you, thank you so much for everything!!

Amazing college coach and helped me throughout the whole process from essays to extracurriculars. With the help of Susan Anderson I was able to get into prestigious colleges including Northeastern, Tufts, and Boston University!
X, UC-Santa Barbara
I worked with Susan on my college transfer applications and learned A LOT from the process. I had started working on them alone before working with her, and quickly realized just how important a college application advisor is. There were so many things I didn't even think to add/change and her knowledge about the college admissions process really helped. Very thankful for her insight and I'm now transferring somewhere I am proud to be!
W., UCLA
Hi Susan, thank you so much for editing my essays and I just wanted to update you on my decisions but I got into USC, UCLA, UC Berkeley, UCSB, and UCSD! Thanks again for your help! I am committing to UCLA and planning to major in psychobiology.
Y., UC-Berkeley (CS)
Good morning, I just want to thank you for the idea of creating an culture event, I don’t think I would ever thought of it. From August 3 when you gave me that idea there has been a domino effect of great things for me. Thank you
J.B., Accepted to UPenn and full ride to UPitt Nursing
Type A Essays was the BEST help I got for my college applications!! It was crucial to my acceptance to UPenn’s Nursing School and a full-ride at Pitt Nursing. I reached out a week before Penn’s ED deadline, and she read my drafts, gave valuable revisions both grammatically and content-wise, and suggested new paths/ideas to consider SO fast, (like same-day critique fast). Her criticism was very honest and constructive, she would tell me exactly what wasn’t working and explain how to fix it.
