Admission Testimonials

Our family lives on the East Coast, and our daughter hadn’t seriously considered college in Los Angeles. Cindy recommended USC. It wasn’t even on our radar! Cindy gave her a hands-on tour of the campus, and introduced her to the assistant dean of her program. It was like an interview on the spot! We all cried tears of joy when she got into USC. Now, she’s studying in the region where her future career will be, giving her a competitive edge.

For those of you who have college bound children, I urge you to hire Cindy. Her hands-on approach to college testing, the application, including the essay, will enhance your child’s chances of getting into his/her desired schools. My children (twins) were initially very intimidated by the college process. Cindy helped them get through it successfully with a great deal of patience and positive reinforcement. My twins got into all of the Schools they applied to. Thank you Cindy!

Parent of Claire and Jack Summers - Crossroads School Graduates 

Cindy is one of the premier tutors and college consultants/advocates in the Los Angeles area. She has a good grasp of the admissions criteria for the major colleges and universities and is good at attenuating advice for students of different calibers. Three of my children have worked with Cindy and we were very pleased with the results. My daughter picked up approximate 600 points on her SAT through her work with Cindy. You can’t go wrong with Rainbow or Cindy.
