Client Testimony:

Choosing JBP College Consulting was one of the best decisions we made for our student's college application journey. From the outset, the comprehensive support provided was invaluable. Julie handled everything, including meticulous college essay support for both the Common App and all supplemental essays, as well as thorough college research to identify institutions that were truly a good fit. The timeline management was impeccable, ensuring that every deadline was met without stress. As a parent, the greatest relief was not having to be the "taskmaster"; Julie took on that role, allowing our family dynamic to remain positive and supportive throughout what can often be a very demanding process.

Beyond the application process itself, JBP College Consulting's expertise in scholarship research and assistance with scholarship essays and interviews truly set them apart. While there's never a guarantee of scholarship awards, we felt we had a significant "leg up" on the process. Julie introduced us to scholarship opportunities we never would have discovered on our own, broadening our student's prospects immensely.

The return on our investment with JBP College Consulting was nothing short of remarkable. Thanks to their guidance and dedicated support, our student was awarded five scholarships, the total value of which far surpassed the fee we paid for their services. This outcome speaks volumes about the quality and effectiveness of Julie's approach. We highly recommend JBP College Consulting to any family seeking expert, comprehensive, and truly valuable assistance with the college application and scholarship process.

I'm Julie, an independent college counselor in Massachusetts, and my journey into this field is quite personal. Like many parents, I navigated the often-complex world of college applications and scholarship searches with my own three children. It was during this time that I truly appreciated the power of strong organizational and research skills – qualities that have always been a defining part of who I am and how I work, and skills that were critical to their achievements. I was also genuinely surprised by the vast amount of external scholarship money available and, more importantly, the substantial awards my children received.

Word of my approach seemed to spread, and for the next few years, I found myself naturally assisting family friends and relatives with their college endeavors. Last year was particularly rewarding when my scholarship research helped my nephew secure a four-year FULL RIDE scholarship to his top-choice college. Of course, he was a highly motivated and well-rounded student, but the reality is that my research uncovered numerous scholarship opportunities – so many, in fact, that he ultimately had to decline several awards after receiving this incredible scholarship. I also worked closely with him on mock interviews, which ultimately played a key role in him landing this "unicorn" of scholarships.

Last year marked a more formal transition as I officially began taking on clients. As a solo practitioner, my priority is to give each student my complete and dedicated attention. For this reason, I intentionally limit the number of students I partner with each application cycle.

I also understand the financial commitment involved in college counseling and am committed to keeping my rates realistic and competitive.
