Solomon Admissions ConsultingReviews of solomonadmissions.com

This is a very well organized and high yield service. Clarissa was the advisor assigned to us and she is a real professional with great knowledge of the admission process in elite universities. She helped our daughter get into her dream school, which was an otherwise far fetch. Highly recommend this service, it is pricey but comes with great value. Overall well worth it and would definitely hire Solomon again!

Is excellent work I love to help

Aliesha Ibinkule, our consultant, helped our son get into an Ivy Plus college. We worked with her for more than two years. She is a true professional. She laid out a plan for our son and made sure that he execute on that plan. Our communication with her was good. She was very diligent checking with our son the progress that he made. She always made herself available when we requested a live discussion. During the the application time, she helped our son a lot with his essays and got him organized.

We have worked with Shayla Lebeck for about 1 year now, and she is fantastic. We needed someone to help guide our son with his STEM-focused interests. She truly is not only helping him put his best foot forward with college applications, but also helping him explore his interests in different ways. That’s priceless. He is learning and growing so much from these experiences. She provides guidance on everything and responds in a timely fashion to messages. She works well with parents and their kids. Our son pointed out how helpful she has been and that we should have our daughter start sooner! We look forward to starting the college application process this summer. Thank you Shayla and Solomon Consulting!

We have had Solomon for the past year and three months, and our experience has been quite negative. We had the junior package with 5 schools. The only useful thing is the first letter with all the useful links, but it turns out that if you search the internet, you will find that information anyway. The following 1-hour monthly meeting with the advisor is nothing but disappointing. We were told our advisor has many years of experience with students interested in economics, but after a couple of meetings, my son kept saying that her knowledge of applying economics is not even as good as his. But since this is our second advisor, we didn't feel good about asking to change again. That's pretty much what happened for the rest of the year: a one-hour monthly meeting and talking to my son without much clear guidance. My son didn't get into any of the summer camps he applied to, despite a perfect PSAT score, a 1560 SAT, a perfect GPA at a top-1 public high school in California, a research paper, and two upcoming research presentations. I don't blame Solomn obviously, just shocked that an intial letter of information and then 1-hour monthly chat for the past year deserves $12K. Not to mention the essay feedback from the advisor and editing team is very minimal (probably because our essays are already in a very good shape?) For two schools, we submitted the essays late, just a few days before the application deadline, the adivsor refuse to pass our essays to the editing team. The lesson I learned is that if your child is already very motivated and academically good, don't bother with all these consulting services. They won't be able to boost the applications anyway. Solomon does have a senior package, which I assume should be much better than junior package.

My son's mentor Shelton Lo was very helpful and understanding. Under his mentorship my son completed research paper on a difficult subject. He helped and guided us on each and every step of the research and is very patient. My son learned a lot during the research project.

Samantha was great to work with. She promptly answered any questions we had and helped make the college application process smoother and easier to navigate. With her support, I'm grateful to have gotten into an Ivy Plus school that was my first choice.

I've worked with Samantha Shepard-Guerinoni for the past four years and I have nothing but good remarks! In talking with my friends and their experiences with their own counselors, I really like Samantha's strategy and the feedback I got back on all of my essays. The mock interview was very helpful, and overall having someone to check in with, making sure you are on the right track is not talked about enough. There are so many moving parts when it comes to applying to college---so much more than just the application. Having her as a resource is something I really appreciated and it has payed off. Right now I have heard back from three schools and have gotten into all of them. Two of them are in fact Top 20 schools. I cannot recommend her enough!
