Testimonials

Amanda is phenomenal!  From the very beginning of our college planning process, she provided invaluable guidance on course selection and extracurricular planning. Her calm, supportive, and knowledgeable disposition was a tremendous asset during what can easily become a highly stressful journey. Amanda kept us organized and on track, ensuring we understood the unique requirements of every single university. Ultimately, our son is thrilled with his final choice. We could not be happier with the seamless process, the incredible outcome, and Amanda's exceptional work. -Meg Flatley

Dear Amanda, We really appreciate the thought and effort you put in to create a strategy for (our daughter) in High School. We’re extremely grateful for the advice and resources! Thank you! - R Proshanto

We are very grateful to have worked with Candid College Conversations.  Amanda was a wonderful resource and helped us navigate through the overwhelming college process. She was supportive and extremely knowledgeable. Amanda helped our daughter find the perfect fit.  - C Myles

When Amanda shared the exciting news that she started her own college counseling business, Candid College Conversations, I thought to myself, "That would be perfect for her." Amanda is honest, kind, caring, and very knowledgeable about her resources. I am so thankful for her help and all the advice that has assisted me, my husband, and my daughter in the process of finding the right college. Thank you, Amanda, for all you do. - L Wing

I highly recommend Amanda’s services. She provides individualized attention. I contacted Amanda late in the process and she did a great job tidying up my eldest child’s personal statement. Once college acceptances came in, we discussed the pros and cons of each institution. Amanda has now helped my younger son with course selection, and I know that by working with her early, we will be in more control of the process and yield better results! -Cheryl L.
