I had the pleasure of working with Justin as a consultant, and I can honestly say it was one of the best professional experiences I've had. From our initial consultation to the final deliverables, they were highly dedicated to providing solutions that were tailored specifically to our family's needs. What impressed me the most was their deep understanding of the industry and the practical advice they offered. Justin was always proactive in communication, providing clear updates and taking the time to ensure that I fully understood the recommendations. Their professionalism, paired with their ability to work efficiently and collaboratively, made the entire process smooth and stress-free.
I started my senior year of high school frantic and scared out of my mind about the college application process. I had no idea what an ideal length, topic, tone, message for a college application should be. I'd been rolling through the application anxiety ridden and plagued with a nervous stomach. I met Justin and he helped me through the entire application process, and guided me through how to answer short questions, essays, and extracurricular descriptions. At the end of the day I felt at ease (well as at ease as a high school senior can be during college app season). I felt confident and proud of my application and highly recommend to any student to start as early as possible.
I worked with the Premiere Prep team for about three years. The advice and guidance I received from my my academic counselor, Bea, was invaluable. The suggestions she gave motivated me to take a more rigorous course schedule to strengthen my college application. I was informed about helpful tips on improving my application that I had never learned through my high school's counseling department. I will now be attending Tulane University on a pre-med track. With the fact that applying to college is becoming more and more competitive, Premiere Prep helped me to enhance my resume and application, so I could set myself apart from others. I highly recommend Premiere Prep as a resource to use throughout the college application process.
We attended the “Freshman Night” at our High School and I thought I attended the wrong seminar as all the discussions were about college not high school. I had no clue where to start– too much information, too many options and I don’t have the time to make any educated decision. I was in panic until I met Premiere Prep. They prepared my son to take the right classes since day one in High School. They recommended many options to challenge him and push hard to excel while encouraging him to develop his social and personal side. During college application period while all the moms were stressed out about the process, I was very confident that my son was in good hands. My son now is going to one of the best universities in California.
I was referred to Justin by a good friend of mine and I was thoroughly impressed by his knowledge of the UC system and his genuine interest in our concerns. Our oldest of three boys was just starting high school and, therefore, it was our first experience at the whole college planning thing. I wanted to get a plan in place ASAP so that his short high school years would be efficiently utilized. What can our son do to compete, not only with others at his high school, but with students from nearby high schools that offered a better curriculum, better extracurriculars, etc.? Our high school didn't offer IB, didn't have a Science Olympiad or Math Olympiad team, didn't offer robotics or STEM programs. We had a million and one questions -- including if we should just up and move to a different district altogether so that our son had a better chance. Justin asked about our son's academic progress to date, his personality, his current interests and daily schedule. Then he tailored very sound, realistic advice, not only for shaping my son's academic high school career, but ensuring a well-rounded high school experience, both for college entrance requirements as well as for our son's childhood. Justin has first-hand experience with UC admissions (having worked on that side of the field) and dispensed proven, expert advice for our son. He alleviated our concerns by prioritizing key elements colleges consider when looking at applicants. He helped outlined what interests and opportunities our son should continue to pursue and what other areas might help build a strong transcript. My son is now 17 and entering his junior year at USC with a double major in biophysics and computer science. He was a National Merit finalist and received at age 15 (high school junior) an invitation to skip his senior year.
I used Premiere Prep through all four years of high school and I can confidently say that without the help of my counselor, there is no way I'd be where I am today (freshman mechanical engineer at UC Irvine). Coming in to high school I had no idea what to do in order to prepare for college applications and I wasn't very motivated to maintain good grades. Because I'm the oldest sibling in my family we had no idea how high school worked and what I needed to do to be successful. I was feeling pretty overwhelmed and my high school counselor was too inexperienced and busy with other students to give me the help I needed. I only gained a good grasp on this once I started working with Premiere Prep. From the start, my counselor was always extremely supportive and pushed me to do the best I possibly could. He also quickly cleared up all of my confusion in regards to class scheduling and what to take; together we created a personal plan for my entire time at highschool. In addition to answering all my questions and setting me on the most optimal course possible, Premiere Prep also helped make myself a more complete, responsible person. Several of my sessions were devoted to my improvement, and I was able to learn proper study habits, time and stress management, how to write a resume, and so many other things. Over time I also developed a very close relationship with my counselor, and it was very reassuring knowing I had an additional person supporting me in my endeavors and making sure I was staying on track. There is no doubt in my mind that Premiere Prep is the best high school counseling service available and I would reccomend it to any high school student who wants to have the best chance at getting accepted into their dream school.
