“The decision for my daughter to work with PrepU was one of the smartest parental decisions I’ve ever made.”
“I cannot thank you enough for EVERYTHING you have done over the past few months. Your encouragement, your way with Kendall, your SAT tutoring, the essay editing. You are amazing!!! She loved working with you. I loved that she found someone she was comfortable with and trusted to help her! It is hard to explain the road block she was feeling with other people she had worked with on her college applications before we met you. They never seemed to take the time to understand she was not the typical kid who stressed APs and test scores, and that her view was a bit different and her goals were taking her away from a conventional college. You got her!! That means to world to both of us!!!” SHARON
