Working with A Starting Line on the college process was the best decision we made for our son and our family! Amy and Tina took time to engage in meaningful conversations with our son as they focused on his strengths, interests, and goals together. Through their guidance and expertise, my son felt empowered and engaged to express himself in the best possible way. We saw his personal growth and confidence soar throughout this whole experience. The range of schools he was accepted to exceeded our expectations which also included his top choice school!

We couldn't be more grateful for A Starting Line’s recommendation of Case Western Reserve University for our son - it has turned out to be an absolutely perfect fit. He's thriving academically with excellent grades despite a heavy course load, considering a combined biochemistry and biostatistics program that fast-tracks to a master's degree. He’s found his peer group and stays active with club hockey. Thank you for bringing Case to his attention; your guidance made all the difference in helping him find where he belongs.

I applied to the MIT Sloan program as a mid-career professional seeking expert coaching and an objective perspective on my stories. Working with Amy was an excellent experience — she helped me see my career and entrepreneurial journey in a new light, resolve dilemmas, and craft a more authentic narrative. Her insightful questions and timely feedback greatly strengthened my application. I highly recommend her coaching and consulting services — and I know whom to call when my daughter applies to college!

Starting early for them and their guidance every step of the way was invaluable. My son loved the essay coach that they provided for him.Posted on Google Amir RozenbergTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My daughter and me consulted with Amy and staff as we were preparing for her college submissions. They helped us strategize college selections, based on key questions that were carefully selected, the submission itself, including all of the essays etc., and then the financial side of the process. The net result is that my daughter got into all of the schools she really wanted to get into, and she was also offered financial aid. I highly recommend engaging Amy and team to optimize your child's likelihood to get into the schools they are aspiring for.Posted on Google Gary WeinsteinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
