Jennie was the perfect match for our son. She is patient, diligent, super organized and very supportive of [him] and knew exactly where he needed to be pushed a little, and where he was able to lead the process. She helped him manage his expectations, create a schedule and a list of schools that were appealing to him. It's a difficult process, and one that has changed dramatically since I went to college, so having a professional to guide us through as expertly as Jennie did was priceless.

So grateful that you were a part of this process, Jennie. Your calm and guidance were a very valuable asset in our child’s discovery process as it helped them put a finer point on who they are becoming and where they want to be to shape that further.

Thank you for being a steady hand in the process both for our child and for me.

Meagan D., parent

Thank you so much for helping [our daughter]! From getting to know her, to helping her develop criteria to pick schools of interest, to your honest assessment of which schools made sense for her, to helping her develop topics for essays and finding her voice, to reviewing essays and offering guidance and recommendations, and finally to … submitting all of her applications - [we] are so grateful to you! And I'm sure there are other parts of the process and work you did that we're not aware of. In addition to all that, it's been a pleasure to see [our daughter] take full responsibility for her applications and to watch her pride and confidence grow throughout the process. Your encouragement, support, and guidance helped to make this a meaningful and valuable experience for [our daughter].

Gary R., parent

Jennie, thank You so much for playing a big part in [our child’s] college process. We really appreciate your weekly calls and insights - [our child] never complained about you once! That's a good sign! You kept the ball rolling, were clear in what was needed, and offered good advice throughout. It was easy to work with you and it was a stress free process for us parents.

Amy R., parent

Jennie served as not only a fantastic writing tutor, but also a mentor as I navigated through the transition from high school to college. I truly don’t feel as though I would be where I am without her kindness, patience, and guidance. 

Jack K., student UCSD '27

We can’t thank you enough for your help on this. Your expertise and experience really made a huge difference, and [our child] felt very comfortable working with you. We appreciate the many hours you spent, the attention to details, and how available you were for them with the deadlines they had.

Dawn Y., parent of PhD applicant

I just wanted to say finally and formally, thank you so much for getting me through the arduous college process! I just submitted my (hopefully) final application. I could never have done it without all your help and guidance, and I'm so glad to already be into schools and relatively unstressed for the rest of the year regarding colleges. And although it was annoying to have to write a million drafts of every essay, you definitely helped me to improve my writing skills, for which I'm very grateful. I'm sure you'll hear from me again every time I get into a new school, but until then, thanks one last time!

Owen F., student, Boston College ‘27

A heartfelt thanks for all your assistance, support, encouragement and expertise. With your guidance, I think [our son’s] applications presented him in a way that maximized all his attributes and strengths and really made him a compelling candidate. We are very grateful. 

Dave M., parent

I just wanted to thank you again for all the help you gave me on my essays and application in general, I could not have done it without you! I recently got a card from my admissions counselor at Chicago and he wrote about how [my essay] stood out to him! Thank you so much for all the work you did on that essay, because it definitely made all the difference!

Vivian B., student, U Chicago ‘29

My experience with Jennie was great because she was able to help me consolidate all of my ideas into essays/responses that met all of the difficult needs of college prompts. The biggest win was getting into my dream school early decision, which I couldn’t have done without Jennie’s help with my responses and personal essay. She was patient and understanding but also was the only reason I managed to reach my deadlines. Seriously recommend a professional eye like Jennie’s on these personal essays because she really knows what colleges are looking for.

Avery R., student, UVA ‘28

We wanted to thank you for all the support you’ve given [our daughter] over the last few months. Your suggestions about essay content kept her on the right track and your encouragement and regular check-ins kept her motivated through the whole process. We couldn’t be happier with how things turned out. Thanks for all your help along the way.

Choosing to work with Jennie Rothman was one of the most critical decisions in my graduate school application process. Her thoughtful approach to bringing my story to life helped me connect the dots between my professional background, lived experience, and my goals. Through constructive and clear feedback on all parts of my application, she made me feel incredibly confident in my application.

Her guidance and encouragement helped me refine my writing while staying true to what makes my story unique. By asking all the right questions she helped me articulate why urban planning matters to me personally and professionally. 

Getting accepted into my top choice program …  was thanks to her support, insight, and guidance. I would highly recommend Jennie Rothman to anyone applying to undergraduate or graduate school. She will help you bring your application to the next level, from refining your writing to make it clear and meaningful, to guiding you through the process itself, offering insight into what comes with each step. Her insights and support are invaluable. I would recommend her services to anyone at any stage in the process.

Shane H., Masters of Urban Planning, Hunter College ‘27

I’ve always considered myself a solid writer but writing an essay that colleges find appealing requires a different style and a level of knowledge about the process that Jennie certainly provided. She supported me throughout the process by being available for any questions or concerns I had and made sure I was exploring options that were right for me. Writing all those essays and supplementals can be intimidating but Jennie provided strong support and guidance in making it all easier.

Wyatt R., student, Wake Forest ‘27

Jennie helped me write my essays, fill out my Common App, answer any questions, and provided important information about the college application process. On top of that, she kept me on track with deadlines and submission dates. Jennie also kept everything very organized for me, making the whole process significantly easier. In particular, having constant feedback and suggestions for everything that I was working through was incredibly helpful. I would absolutely recommend Jennie! I give so much credit to her in my college application success, and I genuinely couldn't have done it without her.
