Testimonials“Thank you very much for helping me this year! You really made a huge difference.” - Audrey, a student at University of Washington “College counselors at school can be helpful, but I found that it was REALLY helpful to have someone who knew me, knew which schools I was applying to, and who I could email constantly about my essays and applications. Ellen helped me find schools that were great matches for me, and she helped edit my essays so that they were the best they could be.” - A 2009 high school graduate attending LMU in the Fall “As parents, we go through many emotional feelings as our children embark on the college admissions process and discuss being ‘away at school.’ Our goal was to have our son, Jacob, make his own adult decision on college and do this without major influence, input, or direction from us. We wanted him to ‘own’ the decision, as this would be something he would be committed to for at least four years. “Ellen equipped Jacob with tools and assistance that gave him confidence in making a college choice that was right for him. We feel this is the best formula for his future success.” - Mother of a 2006 high school graduate attending Trinity College, and a 2008 high school graduate attending St. Mary’s College |

The college admissions process is surprisingly complicated, and can be difficult to navigate on one’s own. Making matters even more difficult, the rules of the game are changing constantly, and there is no universal guidebook to help students on their path. That’s why it makes sense to have a coach that has built a track record of success with a proven system. By partnering with College4u, families can assure the best possible outcome for their student.
