Testimonials Helping your students take flight and reach their
college goals – from application to matriculation!

“Anne provided just the right support my family needed when my son was preparing his college applications! It is inevitably a stressful time, but Anne helped bring calmness and peace of mind to the process. She took the time to truly understand our son’s strengths and guided him expertly on how to showcase them effectively. So many questions came up and Anne was always there to provide insightful answers and reassurance. Her feedback on our son’s writing, from short answers to longer essays, was invaluable. Not only did she help him improve as a writer, but she also bolstered his confidence. He was accepted into his top choice where he is thriving! We are immensely grateful that we partnered with Varsity Vine!”

“After hiring local college counselors here in CT, we realized we spent a lot of money on nothing more than a person who could remind our son of upcoming deadlines. While this was helpful, it was certainly not worth what we spent. Enter Anne. She took a look at what our son was going to turn in to his chosen schools and was able to help him fine-tune his overall application (to say the least!) and help him come up with clever ways to describe his non-academic life. I truly believe she helped my son achieve his dream of being accepted into an Ivy!”

“Thanks to Anne, I was able to submit essays and structure my common app in a way that reflected me in a way I didn’t know it could. Consequently, I was accepted to multiple of my reach colleges, including Dartmouth. Anne was really helpful every step of the way with comprehensive writing feedback and interview tips – and even advice on choosing a school at the end of it all.”
