There is art in connecting with students and their families and uniquely supporting them through the college search and application process.
There’s no better recommendation than from the families themselves. Here’s what parents are saying.
“We are parents of young adults who, like many of you, were facing the once-in-a-lifetime challenge of navigating undergraduate college admissions. Margaret’s reputation preceded her—we were referred to her by other parents as being professional, thoughtful, and knowledgeable. We then had the pleasure of experiencing her approach (affable and incisive) and her skills at meeting young adults “where they are”. Her work with both of our boys had the hallmarks of a well-run project; expectation setting, assignments, milestones, deadlines, and debriefs. Throughout we felt like we had found a partner for our “applicants” that understood and addressed their needs and ours as parents. It was a great experience for our family. We recommend Szegvari Educational Consulting without reservation. ”
“Margaret has a natural way of connecting with young adults. She really understood our son and used an excellent balance of encouragement and constructive feedback to help him see his full potential. Willing to incorporate the feedback he received, his application became stronger and stronger and provided the type of information that college admissions officers look for to get to know their applicants. He is happily attending the college of his choice.”
“Margaret was able to put together a college list that not only met our daughter’s criteria but also allowed us to avoid enormous loans. Prior to working with her, we had no idea there were colleges where our family’s estimated financial need would be met 100%. Without Margaret’s knowledge and commitment to making colleges a right fit in so many ways, our daughter would never have applied to the schools that she did. We are so fortunate that she will able to graduate with less than $20,000 in debt.”
“Your guidance and insight have helped tremendously during this process.
Our daughter speaks so fondly of you, and I’m so grateful for all you’ve done for her. ”
“As parents, we very much enjoyed working with Margaret. She has a welcoming and reassuring presence which is tremendously helpful for parents going through the college admissions process for the first time. Her schedule was flexible, and it was easy for our daughter to find time to work with her.”
Parents are essential in supporting their teen’s journey. They are the starting point for my work and partners throughout the process.
Most families sign contracts in the spring or summer before junior year. With this timeframe, they more fully realize the depth of expertise, strategy, and support leading to optimal results.
