“Hi Amanda, we just wanted to follow up on our child’s admissions results. We cannot thank the whole Lotus team enough! Our child was accepted to almost every college they applied to and will be attending their first-choice school. We are so excited and so grateful to you all for your time and personal attention all the way through the process!”

L.R.

“Thank you so, so much for everything! Phew. Looks like we’ve made it through this whole mission without a scratch. 5-stars across the board. It’s truly been a great experience, and our child is still grinning ear-to-ear. So are we.”

J.B.

“Amanda, thank you so much for your help with both our kids. We are so appreciative of the time and attention you consistently gave our family. We will be reaching out in a few years when it’s time for our youngest!”

“My Lotus mentors really helped me with all of my essays, going through each of them until I felt confident. They also helped me balance out my college list and be really strategic with my application!!”

R.R.

“Lotus really helped me to really push myself in the essay-writing process. I was able to challenge myself to get creative and deep and to work on my writing skills.”

L.J.

“The level-headed, logical answers to my family's many questions during the college process were so valuable. Even on complicated issues, you always put lots of thought and gave a clear, incredibly detailed response that outlined your reasoning for a given answer. But even more importantly, you gave us room to take your suggestion, modify it slightly, or even to reject it — it never felt like you were forcing any suggestion on me. It was also easy to establish a good rapport with you, which made things so much easier. It was also great that even though we had a very positive and friendly relationship, you held me accountable for deadlines on essays, emails, and other school related things.”

N.W.

“I feel like I was able to learn more about myself and open up avenues that I had forgotten about. The Lotus Team really helped me figure out exactly what to write and what style to write in.”

T.Z.

“Very useful final checking, counseling throughout all parts of the process, expert and experienced advice. Without the Lotus team, my lack of organization would have made it way harder to get the acceptances I did.”

D.T.

“My Lotus team made my essays and writing so much better, drastically improved my ACT scores, and helped guide me through a crazy year of college decisions. I will always be so grateful!”

S.Y.

“Through Lotus, I was able to better understand what each college was looking for in a student and how I should shape my application to each college’s needs. I also gained creative and writing guidance, as well as important tips for the college process such as sending letters of continued interest.”

A.B.

“From working with Lotus, I gained a sense of direction in what would make my application stand out to college admissions officers and how to engage with the schools I was interested in. I also gained confidence in my application and capacity to apply to schools I saw as unattainable (for example, I was intimidated by applying to Ivy League schools and was accepted at 2.)”

S.R.

“Not only did Lotus help me into my dream school but I’ve become such a better writer. It was two birds with one stone.”

Z.L.

“With Lotus, I gained a sense of clarity that I didn’t have before. My team set realistic goals that were manageable to take step by step. I gained an idea of the path I should be on and received great tips for essay direction.”

J.B.

“Through Lotus, I gained lots of great feedback and assistance with writing my college essays, and I also was able to learn a lot about whether I could see myself at the schools I applied to/was thinking of applying to!”

B.D.

“Lotus’s services were amazing and incredibly helpful! Ten stars!”

L.L.

N.M.

“I gained significant insight of what to write for each of my college essays, and with that I learned valuable writing skills from my mentor’s extremely helpful editing skills. I also would not have applied to some schools that I strongly ended up considering without the guidance of my team.”

S.R.

“I feel that my Lotus team really brought my essay and supplements together. They allowed me to write freely and express my ideas but gave me great guidance and edits to consider.”

H.B.

“I am so thrilled with your help on my writing! You really pushed me on my essays and made them great! Being able to talk through the tricky parts of no knowing how to phrase something or making ideas stronger was something you really made a lot easier. Thank you, Lotus!”

L.C.

“I gained lots of feedback and helpful notes on to improve my college essays and supplements as well as a positive mentor within the college process who was so supporting of everything.”

K.S.

“Lotus helped me so much in the college process. Their feedback on essays and just overall reaching out to schools and showing interest was very helpful and definitely helped my chances. I don’t think I’d be where I am today without them.”

C.H.

“Through Lotus, I gained so much information on the college process itself, and how to stay on top of deadlines, when it is important to get an essay done, when to get the supplements done. All of which my mentors did an amazing job on, especially with making a schedule/timeline of when each supplement or essay had to be done, and we got it done!”

M.A.

“I feel that my experience with Lotus was awesome, no complaints! And that’s awesome after working together for over 4 years!”

J.L.

“My Lotus mentors helped bring my ideas to life during the college essay process. I would always have good anecdotes and ideas for answering essay questions, but I needed guidance in building an essay outline, putting my ideas into smooth writing, and adding the finishing touch or twist that would make my essay stand out. My team gave me the help I needed in every area of my writing and turned my drafts from messy and sloppy to organized, creative, and impactful. I also could not get over the hump on the Science and Math sections of the ACT for months, but once I worked with Lotus, I scored a 33 and 35 in those respective sections.”

J.R.

“With Lotus, I received a completely different insight into not just how the college process really is/was, but also a coach, tutor, and, most importantly, friend.”

“Essay support and strategic insight; my Lotus team was very supportive; they facilitated the process well.”
