"You taught her how to best and truthfully enhance her personal narrative and accomplishments in a manner most attractive to the admissions offices of a wide variety of schools.
You took the time to get to know K and understand how her diligent approach to school, work, and extra-curricular activities could combine in a competitive package, which was a perfect fit for a specific program suited for her talents."

"The financial return of our College Bound investment was equally remarkable because our daughter secured over $180,000 in scholarship funding. Yet, CBC’s impact transcends numbers. Their personalized approach ensured our daughter pursued her own dreams rather than chasing university prestige.”

"My daughter and son were both clients of College Bound. The colleges that CBC helped them target, and they eventually attended, made all the difference. Both of them lived and thrived at Indiana and Hamilton respectively. I can guarantee we would not have had those schools on our lists. As a parent, they made a VERY stressful period/undertaking much less so! If you are able to secure a spot at CBC by all means do starting the minute they go into high school. Made a huge difference for each of my children."

“Your guidance and support was invaluable. We have watched our daughter blossom and become more confident in herself and her abilities after working with you. She is a much more capable writer and her ability to clearly and distinctly express herself has greatly improved. She has also become more independent as she managed her schedule and deadlines with you without the help of her parents. This was most certainly a gift to us as it allowed us to step back and watch her go!”
