Testimonials
BEST MONEY I’VE EVER SPENT
The best money I’ve EVER spent, period. I am attending U of M from out of state and did not want to risk not using every resource available to me.
– Ross School of Business BBA Student
DOWN TO A SCIENCE
Your process is truly individualized yet down to a science. I was wowed by your strategic approach in helping me put together my best possible application. The application process is daunting, and it was a HUGE relief to work with you. Thank you so much!
– Ross School of Business BBA Student
IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT YOU
Thank you very much for all your help through the process. I genuinely think that without your guidance on my essays none of this would have been possible.
– New York University Student
THE BEST
You clearly know this process inside and out. You’re the best at what you do. I will be recommending you to all of my younger friends!
– Haas student
IMPECCABLE GUIDANCE
I know our son would not have gotten into USC without you. Your guidance was impeccable, and our son actually enjoyed the process and learned a lot about himself and his goals. Thank you!
– University of Southern California parent
You Are the Difference Maker
We truly believe you were the difference maker.
– University of Notre Dame parent
DON’T HESITATE TO HIRE
Good grades alone just don’t cut it anymore. I knew the essays were important and I’m SO glad we decided to hire The Application Authority. I know kids with similar credentials to my son and they didn’t get into U of M. Don’t hesitate to hire The Application Authority!
– University of Michigan parent
BEYOND SATISFIED
I was working with another company and was not satisfied with their services. Several friends mentioned having used The Application Authority, so I gave them a call. From the first call, I felt at ease and that I would be in good, knowledgeable hands. I could not get out of my other contract, but my family and I decided it was worth it to leave the other company behind and use The Application Authority; I am SO GLAD I did! The services exceeded my expectations, they helped so much, and I felt special and valued. Thanks to The Application Authority, I got into my dream school!
– University of Michigan Ross student
FANTASTIC APPLICATION
