Beth is an expert in her field and a great partner in navigating the college admission process. The essay boot camp, early start on applications and keeping us on track allowed for a less stressful fall of senior year. She was always available for questions and guidance. Beth made the entire process less stressful and her approach made it so it was not overwhelming and allowed us to have a great experience. Her knowledge and relationships with colleges provided much insight and benefit. We couldn't be happier with the results! An investment worth every penny!

Beth is amazing. She helped find the perfect match school for our son. Now four years later, he graduated at the top of his class having had a great 4 years in every way. Beth’s patience with our stubborn daughter paid off. She continued to guide and nudge her as she needed. In the end, our daughter is headed to a perfect school for her. And Beth was fabulous at keeping this momma calm and talking her down when needed. Lol. Both kids are at Georgia Tech.

I can't speak highly enough about the personalized services offered by Potential College Advising. Beth went above and beyond to help our two children navigate their way through the college application process. Getting an early start and having a detailed action plan made the whole process feel less overwhelming. We have all been thrilled with the results and our third child is already under contract!

Like so many things in this day and age, the college admission process is competitive and some aspects can be very nuanced. Having a specialist provide expert guidance to allow your child to obtain acceptances and then make the best choice for them is...priceless.
Marriott’s Ridge High School Parent
Beth did a wonderful job with our son. He hasn’t always been the most self-directed. With Beth‘s assistance, our son was able to regularly meet deadlines, often early without our constant reminding. She set realistic goals to achieve ahead of schedule, so the expectations were manageable. He successfully applied to 13 schools of which he got into 12. He’s happily going to a school that fits his academic and social needs. Thank you Beth!

Beth is super organized and knowledgeable and is always three steps ahead of us! She is an amazing source of support for our high schoolers. She has worked with 3 already... hoping she'll be available for our fourth!

I cannot thank you enough for all you did. Setting up my class schedules and showing me appropriate test prep were so helpful. You also showed me schools that I would have never thought of applying to. As a recruited athlete, I ended up not going through the regular admissions process, but you were able to help me choose wisely between my options and guide me easily through all the essays and teacher recommendation surveys which was greatly appreciated.

Beth has an exceptional natural ability to motivate a reluctant, nervous, or just disoriented teen to be present and accountable in the process. What a help!
Mother of student attending the University of Wisconsin
Beth understood my child and was able to help him identify a solid list of schools to apply to. She encouraged him to reach but also gave him a healthy dose of reality when he needed it. Beth is incredibly knowledgeable, organized, intuitive, gently persistent and extremely positive. We couldn’t have done it without her.
Mother of student attending Purdue Engineering
Beth was beyond helpful in terms of identifying and selecting programs that would be a good fit for our teen. She was thoughtful and really listened to our sometimes-conflicting information and made helpful suggestions. Ultimately our child selected a school that Beth introduced her to, one that she is very excited about and that seems to be a great fit! We’re so glad Beth was a partner to us throughout this process!
Parent of student attending Smith College
Thank you so much for everything you did for me over the last two years. Your guidance allowed me to stay on track and ahead of the game, giving me the security that I needed. Your support gave me the confidence I brought to interviews and in submitting ELEVEN applications. And your encouragement pushed me to reach my goals and to be unashamedly ME!

We can’t think of a single thing we would suggest changing. The list of things that were helpful is really long… the touch-base visits early in HS, the assessments, your listening to our son (and his parents!), your own experience, the essay workshop, getting the applications done early, the fast and valuable feedback to all the blurbs for applications, the suggestions for college visits, the (many) reminders!, the SAT/ACT prep advice. You’ve been part of our family during our son's high school years. You have helped us discover the best in his college potential and have been a huge part of getting him ready! I cannot imagine how we would have done this all without your insight, encouragement, and patience.

You helped us navigate through the college application process with ease! You took the pressure off of us (parents) and enabled our son to be proactive and to take charge. And in the end, he not only got into the Naval Academy but he was also accepted to every college he applied to! Thank you!!!!
