Samantha Shepard-Guerinoni was my daughter's consultant and she was amazing! She helped us navigate through the admissions process and was also instrumental in the period leading up to applications season helping us decide which classes to take, which activities would make the most sense for us to be involved in. Happy to say that my daughter got accepted into Stanford REA!

Our family is forever grateful to Adrienne and the amazing Solomon team for all their assistance during such an important time in their lives and achieving admittance into their top universities!

Kelly was extremely helpful in navigating the college admission process and helping our student understand what colleges are looking for and what to prioritize. Also, when there was a question that was a bit unclear, she didn't hesitate to survey her colleagues at Solomon, so that we had the benefit of the whole group's opinion. Finally, she was very patient and a pleasure to work with. She made the college admissions process as enjoyable as it could be. Thank you!

We signed up our son in his freshman year in high school. The results were fantastic. Now as a senior, he was accepted last month to his first choice school, Columbia, as part of the ED (early decision) selection process. Cathleen Sheils is one of the best counselors in the country. Her insights and intuition on how students can build their profile throughout high school is exceptional. Most importantly, she invested the time and put in the work to help our son discover his interests and passions throughout high school and helped him connect the dots looking backwards so that his journey came together looking forward.

Solomon has been an excellent guide in navigating the application landscape. Understanding that our child needed a strong narrative allowed her to choose appropriate classes in high school and enhance her strategic positioning. We are especially pleased that our child's essays were reviewed by a team of editors. We worked closely with Samantha Shepherd-Guerinoni, who is exceptionally professional and readily available. She answers emails quickly and offers advice regarding course selection and summer programs. Our child felt comfortable reaching out to Samantha at any time during the four years we worked with her. She was especially helpful in preparing for interviews. I have recommended Solomon to many of my kids' friends.
