“We were very pleased with the process and results of our son working with Haley on his college applications. It was daunting to think about helping our son apply to all the colleges on his list. For us the essays and supplemental questions were the most intimidating. We wanted to give our son the tools to let his unique voice shine. With Haley’s help our son dug deep to craft, edit, and polish very personal, creative, and insightful essays and supplements. She provided guidance, suggestions, and deadlines which took the pressure off the parent/child relationship during this very intense process. Our son ended up with multiple options for college and is now a proud first year at the University of California, Berkeley. We would highly recommend Haley.”

“We were very pleased with the process and results our daughter achieved working with Haley on her college applications. As a student-athlete putting education first with engineering dreams, she had the unique requirement of wanting academic excellence in an impacted major combined with a competitive D1 soccer team that she could walk onto. We didn’t even know where to start to help her achieve this dream, but Haley did. She worked with our daughter to understand what she wanted, introduced her to colleges that would meet those requirements, and then walked her through the application process. Haley provided our daughter with guidance, suggestions, and deadlines which took the pressure off our family (most importantly our daughter) during this very intense process. Ultimately, our daughter ended up with multiple direct to engineering college options and is now a proud freshman on the University of Washington’s soccer team. Haley not only introduced our daughter to what eventually became her dream school, but also managed to help her get into it. We would highly recommend Haley. ”

“Haley is incredible at what she does! Our daughter applied to many schools and Haley guided her every step of the way. From creating her perfect college list to fine tuning each essay. Sophia really connected with Haley and felt very comfortable throughout the whole process. Haley made everything feel organized and she was able to complete her applications without much stress. Haley truly cares about her students and we could see that from the personalized attention our daughter received. I don’t know how we could have gotten through the application process without Haley’s expertise. Now our daughter will attend her dream school at UC Santa Barbara! Thank you Haley!”

I worked with Haley from summer/fall of 2022 until winter 2023. I was originally very stressed about the college process but she eased my worries right away. She divided everything into simple, manageable tasks so I could take it one step at a time. I never doubted that she was rooting for me and always had my best intentions at heart. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better counselor.

Working with Mrs. Friedman was extremely beneficial throughout my college application process. From brainstorming/editing essays to internship resumes/cover letters, Mrs. Friedman was very responsive and accommodating for my specific needs. Overall, I would definitely recommend Mrs. Friedman if you are looking for help at any point during the college process.

From making college lists to writing essays to evaluating options after admissions decisions, Haley has provided me with invaluable guidance and support throughout the overwhelming process of applying to college. The accountability, organization, and bank of knowledge given to me were vital tools which, along with her brainstorming exercises and thoughtful essay revisions, contributed to me getting to attend a school I love.
