Hillary helped our daughter create a great list of colleges to apply to, and gave input as she wrote her essay. She gave us such great advice, and was always very accessible by phone or email. Had we needed more of what her group offers (tutoring, application help, etc) - we would have used those services in a heartbeat. Hillary is professional, charismatic, smart, and we are so glad to have been referred to her by a friend.

Many people go into high school without a clue as to how to transition into college. Fairchild is the guidance that I needed to hold my hand through this arduous process. After meeting with the Fairchild team during my sophomore year, they determined that it was best that I start getting tutored. I was able to turn my grades around, and from there they helped me with SAT prep and college guidance. Without someone guiding me through high school, I would not have the GPA that I have now, the test scores, or the college scholarships. This is the kind of help I feel as though every high schooler needs. I am so thankful to not have to go through all of this alone!

If you want to have a stress free, completely hands off college application process for your child, Fairchild is the consultant for you. I never had to check on any deadlines, or even read an essay. Fairchild handled every aspect of the application process and got my daughter activated in a way I'd never seen before. We also got into more schools than we ever imagined, including my daughter's top choice.
