``Working at an independent school and involved in the ``next school`` placement process with my students, I thought I could assist my own daughter through the college application process without a problem. By the beginning of her junior year, I realized what an overwhelming task the process is from a parent perspective. The staff at Winning Applications supported my daughter throughout the process in ways that, as a parent, I simply could not. What particularly impressed me was the clear, quick, supportive way the staff guided my daughter through the revision process of her essays. Most of this work was done online and over the phone, and my daughter felt that the comments were thoughtful and extremely helpful. I want to thank Winning Applications for turning what could have been a treacherous and anxiety-ridden journey into a real process of self-discovery, productive dialogue between my daughter and me and, finally, successful placement into the college of her choice. Thanks so much for your help.``
