My counselor effectively guided me through the process
My counselor excelled in offering a diverse selection of schools that matched my interests. The detailed breakdown indicating which institutions to apply to via ED1, ED2, EA, or regular decision was especially useful. Solomon was indispensable in refining my Common App essay and supplemental essays. Additionally, my counselor assisted me in constructing a resume, preparing for interviews, and arranging my class schedule. There were moments when I wished my counselor had been more proactive in reaching out, but overall, I highly recommend the service.

Our Experience with Solomon Was Outstanding
Our time with Solomon was truly exceptional. Our son had the privilege of working with advisor Will Giles and secured admission to his top-choice school, which was honestly a significant challenge. From his sophomore year, Will guided our son in creating a strategic plan. This blueprint detailed various activities and initiatives to build a compelling narrative around his strategic positioning. Starting the summer before his senior year, Will helped our son complete numerous application components (essays, activity lists, resume), making the process much more manageable during a busy senior fall. Will demonstrated a deep understanding of the complexities involved in college selection and the application process. His extensive knowledge of what each institution seeks was pivotal in shaping our son's approach to each application. Additionally, as our son pursued a college sport, Will remained flexible and accommodating amidst the unexpected changes that arose. Gaining admission to college is challenging these days, and collaborating with Will and Solomon provided our son with a noticeable advantage. We highly recommend their services.

Disappointing Service!
Solomon promises personalized support, but everything felt so generic and indifferent. They pushed our daughter to apply to schools with high acceptance rates that she wasnt interested in, just to showcase their success. Now they claim they did their job because she received some acceptances, but what about all the rejections and deferrals? They provided no consideration or assistance with those outcomes.
Milo Murray

Consistently Positive Interactions
We had mostly favorable experiences with them. They provided valuable support when my daughter was developing her essays. However, I hoped Solomon would aim higher for her, as they primarily directed her towards less prestigious schools.

Exceptional Support and Guidance During the College Admissions Process
We began our partnership with Solomon Admissions Advisers early on, when my daughter was just a high school freshman.

His extensive knowledge in college admissions proved invaluableproviding insightful advice and assisting us in school selection, choosing a major, and developing an overall admissions strategy. His guidance simplified an otherwise complex process. I wholeheartedly endorse Solomon Admissions Advisers for their expertise, individualized approach, and dedication to their students' success.

Highly Satisfied with the Guidance
I partnered with consultants for the 2024-2025 admissions cycle and secured a spot at a top 10 university. Most of the application process went smoothly. I'm especially thankful for my consultant, Mrs. Adrienne Gilbert, who skillfully guided me and provided valuable feedback on my writing. Her suggestions included many ideas I wouldn't have thought of, significantly enhancing my essays. My experience with her was consistently excellent. However, coordinating with other team members and waiting for their third-party input took longer than expected, which extended the timeline and caused us to miss a few deadlines.

Accepted to Emory University via EDI
Collaborating with Jina Walker made the entire process enjoyable. Solomon assisted me with my college essays and overall strategy, leading to my EDI acceptance at Emory. He was candid about my chances, honestly mentioning that getting into Emory was uncertain. One thing to note is that face-to-face meetings are infrequent, so if you prefer regular one-on-one discussions, this might not be ideal. However, by staying disciplined and following the plan they provide, you can achieve your goals.

My Experience with Solomon
There are numerous resources and personalized guidance for college applications. I appreciated that my counselor kept me informed about important deadlines consistently. However, it sometimes felt like my counselor was trying to shape my application to fit a specific template, suggesting activities like publishing a paper or starting a podcast that didnt interest me. I decided to follow my usual methods, and it seemed to work out. The suggestions for my essays were useful, although the final version the editors worked on wasnt the one I submitted, as I continued to revise my essays afterwards, leading to some significant changes. Despite not engaging in some of the recommended activities, I was accepted into an Ivy League school.

Assistance in Compiling the School List
Dr. Makeda Turner offered outstanding support throughout our application process from spring to fall 2024. She assisted us in forming our list of target and reach schools, which was extremely beneficial. Even though we already had a list, Dr. Turner helped us review each institution, provided suggestions on which schools to eliminate, and recommended additional options we hadn't considered. When it came to the actual applications, her guidance on essay structure and intellectual positioning was vital. Dr. Turner remained a reliable mentor from spring 2024, focusing on strategic summer actions, all the way through the fall application period.

Our Experience with Solomon Left Us Disheartened
Our family endured a terrible experience with Solomon, and I truly regret selecting their services. The first counselor assigned was friendly but didn't tailor her guidance to my daughter's interests. The college list she provided was uninspiring, and she strongly advised against my daughter applying to more competitive schools. Just a month before the Early Decision and Early Action deadlines, she was no longer our counselor. The new counselor seemed unaware of our progress and was rarely available for support. Despite my daughter reaching out three times over two weeks for a Zoom call before submitting her ED application, she was told there was no time available.This situation caused immense stress for our family, especially for my daughter. She still sometimes cries because she received so little guidance. While we did our best to navigate the process, we're not professionals. Although she was accepted to her ED school, she now regrets that decision as she wanted to explore more options. Solomon diminished her confidence and undermined her years of hard work by not providing encouragement, support, or clear options. Our family unanimously agrees that hiring Solomon was a mistake.I urge anyone considering their services to thoroughly interview your assigned counselor to ensure they are communicative and accessible. It was a significant waste of thousands of dollars.

Ignored by My Counselor Steer Clear of This Company
I highly recommend avoiding this company. As a senior set to graduate in '25, I began collaborating with Solomon in my sophomore year. However, by the summer before my senior year, my counselor completely stopped respondingno edits, no emails, no support. The college list my counselor provided felt impersonal, leaving me to compile my own. Midway through my senior year, I had to switch counselors, disrupting any strategic planning. I sent three emails requesting meetings to discuss my ED options, but each was denied with the reason that she "didn't have time." Despite maintaining a 4.2 GPA, engaging in research with Stanford, ranking in the top 40 at my school, and having outstanding extracurriculars, I ended up attending Northeastern due to the lack of guidance. If being ignored by your counselor isnt enough of a reason, then dont use this company. Its my biggest regret.
