We are thrilled to inform you that H has been accepted to Duke University and will be joining his brother K there this fall. We were admittedly a little nervous when Application Boot Camp (understandably) went virtual, but we should not have worried as H came away super-prepared for application season. We really appreciate all of the frank advice and counsel we have received from everyone at Top Tier over the last few years as our sons have journeyed through this process.

I wanted to share with you the great news that I was accepted to Tulane ED yesterday! Thank you both so much for your advice and help along the way. I can’t imagine how hard it would have been without it. I am so excited and looking forward to the fall. Thank you!!

I have been accepted early into Dartmouth! I would like to thank you so much for your help with all of the essays and overall guidance! It really helped very much and I owe much of my admission to you. I am so excited to attend Dartmouth – it still feels so surreal to be part of their class of ‘28! I would love to keep in touch with you throughout my college journey. Thank you once again for everything!

This was amazing! Thank you so much for your help!! I had an amazing experience with Boot Camp; it was an absolute pleasure to work with you and Top Tier!

Thank you so much, Mimi! I’m very, very excited about my acceptance and I can’t wait to be there! Thank you, and all the other Top Tier counselors, for the continued support and help!

She’s IN at Stanford! Thank you for all your support and hard work, and to the others at TTA who worked over her application. You are very much appreciated. K is a great kid and I trust her to do good in the world.

You’ve gained a best friend for life! I knew how amazing and helpful TTA was for these poor stressed out teens navigating the college process but you (and your team) are literally like medicine for the crazy parents of these poor stressed out teens! You are like human valium! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

We are enormously grateful for your nurturing presence in our lives and we can’t thank you enough for the gift of your extraordinary experience and expert advice during this nerve-racking process. I still can’t get over the collective brain power in the “room” at ABC.

You might be surprised at what I heard H say yesterday but it’s such a tribute to how hard he worked, how much support he received, and the connections he made. After his 3-hour nap on Friday, a celebratory dinner, and a great night’s, he got up on Saturday and said, “Mom, I want to go back to Bootcamp!” True story. I’m not sure how you do it with the pace and intensity of ABC but T felt truly seen, deeply respected, pushed in the best way possible, and overjoyed about the results. We appreciate your help more than words can express.

N called me from school to thank me for getting you guys as advisors!!!! This is why you have the reputation you do!!! There is no cutting corners and it is black and white and that summary lit a fire under N (which is why I wish I had you since 9th grade)!!! He is very very excited by all the ideas mentioned. You guys are phenomenal and I can’t even explain how just his admissions report put things in a different perspective. Thank you!

You told the students, and us, to “trust the process” and you delivered beyond our wildest imagination. Oh, how I wanted to get in the game with the creation and editing of those Bootcamp essays but, I trusted and resisted the urge to meddle (G would not have had it any other way), and you gave G the benefit of the entire TTA brain trust, along with an immeasurable – but truly extraordinary – sense of confidence, accomplishment, and empowerment. Yours is a gift that will keep giving for the rest of G’s existence.

I can’t thank you enough for all your guidance and encouragement during ABC! I’m still exhausted but also really happy about my essays. It’s a huge relief to have my common app in such good shape. I’ll never forget how much you and the rest of the amazing TTA team helped me.

I’m already envious of the red carpet you are rolling out for ABC; these kiddos are so fortunate to be in such caring and attentive hands! T is very excited for Bootcamp and that is a gift in and of itself. A million thank yous for creating an application experience that generates more enthusiasm than panic.

I wanted to inform you that I just got accepted to Yale University REA. I am very thankful to Application Boot Camp® for helping me so much; it made the application process so much easier. Thank you for everything!!

I just wanted to let you all know that I was accepted into Northwestern! Thanks for all your help!

My family and I are still jumping up and down from the news. I will never forget Boot Camp’s perspective, which made me stand out!

I wanted to share the good news that I was accepted to Wharton ED last night!! Thanks again to you and ABC for all the support.

We want to share the good news that P was admitted ED to Williams yesterday! Thank you!

We were recently at Brown’s Admitted Students Day and P had such an amazing time! He truly felt that this was absolutely the right place for him to be for the next four years. As he was walking around campus, a lady named J came up to him. She said she was an admissions officer.
J asked if he was P and she must have recognized him from his video submission. She then went on to say that his application was amazing and she said she remembered it! P was so shocked since it was so unexpected, and he didn’t quite know what to say besides, ‘Thank you!’. To leave such a mark on an admissions officer who sees countless applications is truly remarkable! Credit goes to Top Tier’s Bootcamp for being able to give that attention to detail, and knowing how to absolutely button down the application such that it makes for a unique submission and ensures a lasting impression! Thank you again for your experience, expertise and excellence!

I just got my Brown Early Decision back and I wanted to let you all know that I got in!!!! Thank you, guys, so much for all the help with my application and my essays. I couldn’t have done it without your help! I am so happy that I got into my first-choice school!!! Once again, I can’t thank you all enough for all the help and guidance

I know everyone must say “we couldn’t have done it without you” but that sentiment is true beyond words. You have given her a gift that will keep giving for the rest of her life and you have changed us for good AND for the better.

I got into Brown University! I’m so excited to attend!! Thank you for all your guidance and support during the whole process. I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome, and Top Tier was critical in this result.

I saw her grow right before my eyes during Bootcamp (which was phenomenally well run, due to your effort and skill). I still marvel at how much she accomplished in such a condensed period of time but I am most grateful for how you nurtured her spirit and confidence. Empowering her in that way has made all the difference this year.

I just wanted to reach out and thank you for all of your help wrapping up regular decision applications and with the Dartmouth LOCI. You have been an invaluable resource and support system for me throughout this entire process. I really can’t thank you enough.

You have been an invaluable resource and support system for me throughout this entire process. I really can’t thank you enough.

I just wanted to share with you the very exciting news that I was accepted into the University of Miami!!! Thank you so much for all your help and support during this process. All the team from Top Tier really made a difference and were extremely supportive.

We hope you had a great weekend and that you were able to rest and recharge after an intense and very successful ABC! R and I are simply amazed by how much you were able to help J accomplish in 1 week. The depth, nuance and quality of all of the essays and core application elements are outstanding.  We are so grateful for all you’ve done for J (and of course T!) and now J is even more motivated to improve on her SATs. She told us that she doesn’t want to let you, Mimi, and Michelle down!

Thank you so much for thinking of me! I am fully committed to Rollins and I am so excited! None of this would’ve been possible without you and your awesome team! Thank you so much for everything!!

I wanted to share the good news that J was accepted to Duke early admission. Thank you for your support!

How many times have you heard, “We could not have done it without you?” Well, I will echo that sentiment and add my deeply felt gratitude to your mountainous pile of extremely well warranted appreciation. I have to say, as elated as we have been to relay this news to friends and relatives, it feels most meaningful – and really absolutely divine – to share it with our TTA family. A million thank yous do not begin to cover our gratitude for your presence in our lives.

We wanted to let you know that L was accepted at Tufts – his first choice and ED app!  Thanks again for all of your help!

I KNOW that YOU were beyond instrumental in this process and I wanted to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for your efforts from August in Boston onward. You were always available and such a massive help for K with her supplements.

Trust The Process. Those words are etched in my brain forever. We were so happy and excited to watch our daughter find out she had been accepted early into Notre Dame last night.
I felt like a millstone that had been hanging around my neck was taken off immediately.
Thank you for your patience and for your expertise in guiding our daughter. Her friends from ND are coming home this weekend and she is so happy and proud to be able to wear a ND sweatshirt she had been keeping in her closet since she picked it up at ND last June.
The Boot Camp was really awesome in teaching her how to write essays for the supplemental questions. I would say it also boosted her confidence, knowing that experts such as yourselves taught her the pearls of wisdom in writing college applications.
From South Dakota to South Bend… it was a journey uphill but our daughter is finally home… Thank you!

I am on my knees with gratitude. G did not video her acceptance because she was guarding her hope but I can tell you the waves of “I got in!”, “I got a special accelerated research offer!”, “I got into the honors program!”, and then…”I got a full ride!!!!!!!” had us all in tears. My husband is not an emotional guy but, as you can imagine, the full scholarship for 4 years brought him to his feet.

I committed to Columbia University yesterday morning, with the intention to major in Electrical Engineering! I am beyond excited and happy to start my journey there and I can’t wait to see where it’ll take me. I am very grateful for all the help you and the TTA team have given me, from Boot Camp to making final touches in December and later deferral notes. I sincerely appreciate all the time and effort you put into helping me hone my application and where it’s gotten me so far. Thank you!

Michele, I know E has already written you but I wanted to reach out and say thank you to you and R as well as the rest of the Top Tier Team. E is over the moon and being able to enjoy the rest of the year without the stress of college decisions is priceless. We all appreciate what you and your team were able to do to help guide the process as well as make the essay writing much smoother that it would have been otherwise.

While H awaits his early round decisions, I wanted to give you an update on R. He just finished his first semester at Occidental and he has been crushing it. He loves the school and he is motivated, curious and working so hard. It has been an ideal place for him.

We cannot thank you enough for all of your help and truly wonderful advice. We are so grateful!

MASSIVE thanks to you for all you did to shepherd us through this nerve-racking process! You are the rock, the hub, and the heart of TTA. H is so extraordinarily fortunate to have had you supporting, guiding, and believing in her.

I just wanted to let you guys know I’ve officially been admitted to Williams. I am SO excited and so grateful for all of your help along the way. Thank you so much. Woohoo!

I wanted to share that M GOT INTO PRINCETON! We are so happy for her. She worked super hard. She couldn’t have done the application questions and created a niche without all of your support. Thank you so much for everything. We will forever be in gratitude.

We are so incredibly grateful to the whole team at Top Tier.  It has been a really positive experience and we so appreciate all of your expertise.

I just wanted to let y’all know that I have been accepted into Barnard and I am so excited and so grateful to TTA for all of your guidance!! Thank you so much!

Without ABC I would have had a strictly mediocre application.

MASSIVE thanks to you for all you did to shepherd us through this nerve-racking process! You are the rock, the hub, and the heart of TTA. H is so extraordinarily fortunate to have had you supporting, guiding, and believing in her.

I’m not in complete TTA withdrawal after ABC, thanks to you continuing to keep us on track! My heartfelt gratitude for all you have done for the K family. Your care and calm have meant the world to us. So much appreciation for being our rock and guiding light!

I hope you are enjoying some extremely well-deserved R&R after the intensity of Bootcamp! We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for offering R and I your warmth, encouragement, expertise, and seasoned insight. R was so very lucky to have the chance to work with you. We now count you as part of our beloved extended family! ABC was certainly rigorous but it was wonderful to see R’s pride and relief when she came home on Friday.

We have some exciting news! H found out yesterday he’s been accepted to Boston College early decision! As you can imagine, he is beyond excited. Thank you for all of your help. Application Bootcamp® really helped him hone in on his niche and create compelling essays that made him stand out as an applicant.
