Testimonial

mother of Avery & Jesse

“Alex and Noelle of Admissions Angle were a wonderful support to both our children as they navigated the college application process and were always available to answer their questions. They provided the right amount of support while allowing the student to drive the process so that their voice and personality shined in the application, personal essays, and statements. Both of our children were accepted at their top-choice college. Knowing they had a supportive and knowledgeable counselor on their side was invaluable as we navigated the sometimes daunting college application process. We highly recommend Admissions Angle.”

“Working with Noelle Compton was an amazing experience I’d highly recommend. She and Alex really listened to me during our first meeting. They developed a trajectory to build on my existing interests while encouraging me to explore new opportunities. Thanks to Noelle’s advice, I found a standardized test option that suited my skills better. I developed more confidence to become a leader in my school’s extracurriculars. I attended summer programs I would have never known about otherwise. Noelle was there to support me in every stage, and with her intimate knowledge of the admissions process, she always knew the way forward when tough decisions arose. And Alex was critical in choosing my major and building the narrative in my personal statement. I am so grateful to Admissions Angle for their mentorship.”

“To list several of many, many things he has done for me, Alex counseled me in building my extracurriculars such as club activities, guided me through writing research papers on William's Cryptosystem and Cellular Automata, helped me get into a summer camp at UPenn, and reviewed all of the essays I had written for my college application. I'm sure I couldn't have gone through all the complicated process without Alex's guidance.”
RANDI, mother of Hannah

“When I retained Admissions Angle to guide my younger daughter through the college admissions process, I did so on a gut feeling based on Noelle’s excellent webinars that were chock full of practical advice. Now, two years later, with my daughter in her dream school, I can see that their impact on her was much more far-reaching than getting the applications in on time. My daughter was a solid student but her ultimate “story” was shaped by her work with Noelle. Noelle challenged her to work on an academic project outside of school and now it’s work that she intends to continue in college. Her personal statement was not one and done - Hannah had to work through very different topics before she landed on one that rang true and gave her the angle she never knew existed within herself. Of course, as a parent, it is hard to see past the mountain of work and looming deadlines and see the process as an exercise in introspection. Admissions Angle is everything you need them to be to help your student get accepted but in the end, their value grows long past the click of the submit button.”
