""My advisor helped me brainstorm and build a cohesive narrative across my entire application. My personal statement, supplemental essays, and extracurriculars all connected to present a compelling narrative that helped me get into Princeton."

"My son was very stressed about the college admissions process because we are international, but the advising broke it down into less daunting steps for my son. At times it felt like SoFlo wasn’t just providing my son with a college counselor, but a mentor as well."

"SoFlo changed my son's life by helping him get into Yale."
I hired SoFlo SAT Tutoring to help my older son, Kevin, improve his SAT score and get into college. Hiring SoFlo is one of the best choices I ever made. SoFlo changed my son's life by helping him get into Yale. It wouldn't have happened without SoFlo. We were so impressed with the SAT Prep that we started using SoFlo for college help. We worked with a college admissions counselor from Princeton to help Kevin write unique college essays and work with us through the application process. They helped Kevin create a healthy college list, with schools that were financially feasible for us and that fit Kevin well. It's been many years since my wife and I applied to college, so the process has changed a lot, and SoFlo's owner Adam, in particular, was very helpful in relaying information about strategies, deadlines, and the ways to write and edit Kevin's essays. Kevin had a lot of ideas for his essays, but he had trouble settling on one and putting it into words. SoFlo advised Kevin on which one of his desired essay topics could bring him the most success and then worked tirelessly through many rough drafts of essays until Kevin had his ideal personal statement (the main essay for college). Many of the schools Kevin applied to also have supplemental essays, and SoFlo helped Kevin brainstorm and edit those as well. My son was very busy during this time with sports and other extracurriculars, which I worried would pose a problem for scheduling, but SoFlo was able to work with us and our awkward schedule so that Kevin could get tutored and so that he could have his questions answered and essays read in a timely manner. They were always very patient with us, answered our emails quickly, and were affordable. We looked at many packages for college counseling in particular, and this company gave the most bang for our buck. My son ended up getting accepted to his top choice school, Yale University, and I know that wouldn't have been possible without SoFlo's help. I recommend SoFlo for any parent looking to help their kid out with the difficult application process. They were a joy to work with, and I plan to to turn SoFlo when it's my younger daughter's turn to apply. Thank you, SoFlo!
