"Many of my peers' consultants charged them 2x or 3x the price of College Zoom while not investing into them half as much as College Zoom did with me. Many of my peers that had other consultants dreaded their counselor meetings and sadly many did not end up with the results they had hoped for...I came out of this process as an individual who now understands that a title or brand name is not what makes you stand out. Instead, it's how you lean into your uniqueness and use lateral thinking to make an impact."
