What OUR CLIENTS Say

The best way to get to know Forbes College Consulting is to listen to our clients. We hope their reflections will help you better understand our philosophy and approach – and why we love our work.

You guided our son to reflect about his strengths, experiences, and goals.  He gained more than college acceptance (and a generous scholarship). It was an exercise in growth and maturity. We look forward to working with you again in the future!

Parent of Case Western Student

Thank you for working with us throughout this whole experience, and for all your insight and advice along the way. This was a stressful, grueling, and sometimes ridiculous experience, but I think our son learned a lot along the way. By the end, I think he had a better handle on what he was looking for, and I think he’s ready to explore and take advantage of the opportunities that will come his way. I appreciate all of your coaching and support and I’m grateful we could work with you on this.
