I could not be more grateful!”

-Princeton '24

“Thank you for all your guidance. I still remember clearly your unvarnished advice that was completely accurate. For all these top schools, everyone’s got the numbers. It’s all the other stuff that matters so much, and that you guys helped us with. We just couldn’t have done it without you.”

-Parent of Tufts '24

“I can only say it's fate. Almost 10 years ago, Angela gave a talk at our son’s elementary school, and I kept the info all these years. I thought maybe I'll get some counseling because I didn't know what the process would be like. I'm glad that I did that. I'm glad that I reached out to you guys and it worked out. Especially as this year seemed to be very competitive. We still can’t believe he got in and we are so very, very happy. Please let us know when we can sign up our daughter!”

-Parent of Harvard ‘23

 ​​-Parent of Cornell ‘24

“I really, really wanted to say thank you, thank you, for all of the hard work you put into our daughter’s application, guiding her so patiently, even though it seemed impossible. I don’t have enough words to say how grateful I am. I will go around telling everyone that "Boston Academic" is really the best!"

-Parent of UCLA Graduate School '21

"Our whole family knows that our daughter could not have been admitted to such a prestigious boarding school without your dedicated guidance and advice which have directed her for the last three years. 3 years ago, she was not admitted to her top choice middle school, but now she is headed to her top choice high school. Not only did you challenge and inspire her to mature and never give up, but you restored her confidence that she can truly do anything."

-Parent of Phillips Academy Andover, ‘23

“I went into the college application process unsure of how to best play to my strengths, and the BACG team really took the time to sit down with me, get to know me, and help me showcase my strengths throughout my application. From start to finish, Emily and Angela were always reaching out to me, and their guidance, backed by their knowledge of and insight into the college admissions process, was absolutely invaluable. I want to extend my gratitude to the entire BACG team for all the hard work you do, and all the students like me you help—thank you all so, so much!”

“My wife and I want to thank you for all your efforts and expertise in navigating our son through the entire college preparation and application process. We are so happy.   And so glad it is over.  He really benefitted from your interactions and guidance. We really appreciated your taking the time to get to know our son as a person, developing and highlighting his strengths, and especially for the support (emotional/psychological) that you provided.”

-Parent of Dartmouth ‘23

"I just wanted to thank you for helping me so much throughout the college application process. I can't say I was the best student you've ever worked with, but I'm glad that you guys were always here to be frank with me about my mistakes, motivate me to work harder, and provide me with deadlines for supplements. It really has been a great pleasure learning and growing with you.  The college application process has helped me not only learn more about colleges but also develop as a person. I hope I can take all these experiences to college and succeed."
