Testimonials

"Claire,
As a single mom, I’m always afraid when it comes time to make decisions. After we reviewed the award letters with you we now understand which college has the best financial aid package. I had tears in my eyes when you were explaining it because the level of financial support at G... is unbelievable. James and I cried again when we re-read it, it was heart stopping. It shows that all of James' unbelievable efforts are truly rewarded. The Private Colleges you referred us to all offered so much more than our in-state university. James got into every school on your college list, while the ones that James had heard of from his friends overlooked him. Your leading James towards a "good decision" for the best education is so priceless. I don't think we would have ever considered any college with a tuition in that price area. A GREAT BIG HUG & KISS is owed to you, when we get to see you again."

James’ Mom, W Warwick, RI "Chip,
John and I wanted you both to know that we just found out this past week that our son has been accepted Early Decision ll into his first choice College!! Needless to say, we are all thrilled. We wanted to thank the both of you again. Without the two of you, this dream of his could never have become a reality."

JJM, Weston, MA "Hi Claire,
Just a note to update you on the progress being made by my two sons Mike and Sam. Mike completed a second difficult year at pharm school. Almost 25% of his original class failed out, he’s starting third year in flying colors. He has latched onto a very bright and very beautiful girlfriend and fellow pharm student. He plays club soccer nearly every night. Sam has adjusted well to life at C. University. He made Dean’s list both semesters and finished with a gpa of 3.8! He loves DC and can’t wait to go back. He added a business minor as you advised. I am very proud of both boys. (I got stressed out about the money end of things around the time that those college bills arrived but thanks to your advice it all fell into place. Thank you again for your help in making the connections to the right schools for our sons and for us financially."

CJP "Chip and Claire helped us identify colleges that rewarded our son’s academic and extra-curricular interests with substantial financial aid and scholarships. We are certain that without Chip’s educational planning, our son would have taken six years to graduate or may have dropped out in first semester. Our son was very inexperienced and naïve about college. He needed a sheltering, nurturing and yet academically challenging place where there was a safety net in place if he made mistakes. Chip understood where our son was, maturity wise, helped him consider the benefits of the specific college he picked out for him. He explained which majors and minors our son could try out and pursue in college. Then Claire took into consideration our budget and what we could afford."

Mrs. DCJ, Mr. Pleasant, SC "My family initially met Claire Law of Educational Avenues in 2010 when our daughter was preparing to apply to colleges. Our experience with Claire and her firm was nothing short of excellent. Initially, our daughter was given a battery of assessments, starting with the Myers Briggs Type Indicator, STRONG Inventory and an Interest-Values Sort, to help our daughter better understand herself and to determine which personality preferences were dominant in her. Based on this classification, Claire suggested a number of colleges based upon our daughter's geographic requirements, academic abilities, learning style difference, and personality preferences. With Claire's kind nature and keen sense of "fit", we visited many of her recommended colleges. As it turned out, our daughter attended a top-tiered university and is extremely pleased with her choice."

Proud Father, E. Greenwich, RI "Chip,
The visits to the colleges were great. She didn't like the lack of structure at College #6. She LOVED College #3 but got the impracticality of it all. She left feeling better about the colleges you initially proposed. Fact finding...great! Thanks for your help!! See you when we get back."
