Family Focused
Our experience with East Coast Admissions has been nothing short of amazing. From the very first consultation, we knew we were in good hands. The communication was prompt, the tools were easy to use, and my son felt supported the entire way. We never once felt lost or stressed. When the acceptance letters started rolling in (including Michigan and Georgetown!), we realized how valuable this investment truly was.

Student Voice
Working with Cleopatra completely changed how I approached my college applications. She helped me discover a theme for my essays that felt real and personal, not forced. I went from feeling stuck to submitting every application ahead of schedule. I ended up getting into Northeastern with a scholarship! I honestly couldn’t have done it without her guidance.

Scholarship Success
Cleopatra and her team don’t just help students get into college they help families breathe again. The organization, the follow up, the insight into what each college values. It all mattered. My daughter was accepted to 18 of her 20 colleges and waitlisted for 2. Honestly more that we expected and could ask for. We also got most with scholarship offers. It was mind blowing to see how smooth and efficient the process became once we started with East Coast Admissions.

The support was just there
I sometimes wonder if Cleo ever sleeps. She’s that responsive. My child never once felt overlooked. Cleo’s passion for her students is so genuine, and you can tell she truly cares. For the first time, I felt my child was really seen. East Coast Admissions even offered generous discounts, which made me feel supported as a parent. I couldn’t help but send them a big thank you in cash. My child got into Brown.

I am a happy parent
this company and their team runs like a well oiled machine. Esther got into Colombia. They had set processes and systems that was so efficient. As a parent and who is also old school, that gave me real peace of mind. I had a front row seat into everything and could book check in meetings easily, without confusion, weirdness or unnecessary back and forth. Honestly, I didn’t even need parent checkin meetings the entire time but they were just a nice to have because their system worked so smoothly. What really stood out was Cleopatra herself. She clearly loves what she does, and you can see it in how responsive and serious she is the moment she gets to work. There’s no endless buzz words thrown around and no wasted time. She really showed a doubtful parent like me a side of college counseling I never even knew existed, and it changed the entire experience for our family. Thank you Cleo.

shocked by the essay writing process
as a parent you'd know the essay writing stage is always stressful for our kids and as parents. The process looks intimidating. Cleo had a brief conversation with my son, and basically said "there you have it, that's your theme". The brainstorming session felt easy and as though it was over a lunch date. After months of not kwnoing what to do or write, we had an essay draft in less than a week. Her review sessions and notes are always so timely and detailed. We didn't regret buying this package at all.
